Nice to see Adams is embracing his true passion in less than two weeks of being out of office; scamming people. (hexbear.net)

The environmental impact of proof-of-work is usually tied to the amount of transactions on the chain and the amount of computers crunching the numbers.

Bitcoin, for instance, makes the number crunching harder the more computers there are.

I don't imagine these scams are doing much to the environment, since very few people will be mining the coin.

Some other Crypos use proof-of-stake, which changes things up a bit.
