What is your favorite “eco-friendly” coin and why should someone invest in it as
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Back in spring and summer one big talking point was the climate impact of mining Bitcoin (among others). This was the conversation that got me started in crypto. </p> <p>I want to hear what your favorite green coin is and why you think it’s worth a look. I’m including a list of some below, but I’m sure there are more. And I’m sure some are better in this regard than others. </p> <ul> <li><p>ALGO - Uses PoS and claims to be a carbon neutral network</p></li> <li><p>BURST - Honestly have never heard of this until today. It uses proof of capacity for mining and supposedly only uses the power consumed equivalent to your computer idling. </p></li> <li><p>NANO - Uses block lattice technology to remain energy efficient while still relying on PoW. </p></li> <li><p>MINA - A newer coin intending to use zk-SNARKS and maintain a lightweight blockchain. This one seems intriguing. </p></li> <li><p>XLM - Uses a consensus protocol which has a shorter authentication cycle…thereby using less energy. </p></li> </ul> <p>Others that appear in lists of green coins from time to time: MetaHash, XRP, Chia, Iota. </p> <p>I’d love to hear about others and see what people think about those on this list.</p> <p>Edit: The number of comments here is crazy. Way more than I expected. I’ll try to look at them all a little later tonight.
