Hi, I have code that estimates daily Ethereum emissions impact (kgCO2/gas) and estimates whole-platform emissions. https://github.com/kylemcdonald/cryptoart-emissions

> * Assigning co2-per-gas is not perfect, but it's fair, and it's the best option we can think of. The other option is to use transactions. But because many low-gas...

@mattdesl Thanks for the links 👌 We have at least three perspectives now. Here is a summary of some possibilities for how responsibility for the Ethereum network's emissions might be...

> None of these solutions will reduce Eth's energy footprint (probably only PoS can do that), but it can reduce individual footprint because it allows more people to participate in...

@ericelliott thank you for bringing your expertise to this space. I completely agree that miners are not directly incentivized by gas used. There might not be any good answer to...

@ericelliott Great diagrams! I absolutely agree price is the biggest factor driving the hashrate, and I've also observed that it does not respond immediately but smoothly. Right now transaction fees...

The direction you're going here sounds similar to another discussion from Twitter, where someone proposed energy footprint be defined like this: ``` energy usage(tx) = (daily average per-block energy use)...

Here's the question I am trying to answer: who is responsible for Ethereum's energy use, and how responsible are they? I'm not set on the `energy usage(tx)` paradigm, it's just...

@ericelliott I'm more interested in your "option 2", but I'm not primarily concerned about buying offsets. I'm thinking about accountability more broadly. For example, when you talk about how the...
