> as computing becomes more power efficient so does mining
No, as computing becomes more efficient the mining algorithm automatically increases it's difficulty to compensate to insure the entire global mining community can process approximately one block every ten minutes. Therefore as more miners enter the field mining will consume MORE power for the same results.
This would be great. I could throttle down Facebook from burning all my CPU and give the rest to The Pirate Bay to pay them back for all they've done for us.
I'd like everyone involved in this project to imaging giving their grandmother a lifetime ID that can never be replaced that requires grandma to keep her private key, a 512-bit string of digits, secure from hackers, hard drive crashes, agencies with sloppy security, malware, malicious other people, ransomeware, a single typo in a long string of gibberish, back backup operational procedures, and misunderstanding the difference between her private-key, her public-key, her wallet, her address, her seed phrase, and her encryption password.
Actually they can do this right now. Tell grandma to buy $1 worth of Bitcoin and keep it safe. Good luck Grannie.
Cash also has similar rules: He who holds the cash owns it, in the sense that he can spend it. And yet, we still call it theft when someone takes your case without your permission.
> I have to assume they were all specialized and trained in different fields of law, like medical doctors. What else could explain the difference
The U.S. law firm assessed how deep their client's pockets were and assign the right number of lawyers to extract the maximum amount of money without getting fired or sued themselves.
Two ZFS systems. One in your house and one at your office or friend or brother's house. One does a zfs send to the other periodically. Checksums keep you safe from bit rot, hardware errors and cosmic rays. Snapshots keep you safe from malware and your nephew asking 'what does rm -rf * do?'
How would you know? Even if you had the time to check 30 TB of data for a single bit error, which would take WEEKS running 24x7... what would you check it against?
So regular non-threat people will have to let these bumbling thugs go through their private social media, and actual terrorists will hand over the fake account they prepared just for this purpose.

You've mistaken the people one rung up the ladder from yourself for the bosses. The 0.001% will be quite happy to replace the business people with algorithms that further concentrate their wealth. We all serve at the pleasure of the 0.001%
The algorithms will know that other algorithms exist and that any information is instantly translated into buying or selling action, magnified by the other algorithms. End result? The market wildly oscillates between infinity (can't buy at any price) and zero (can't sell at any price) with nanosecond intervals of opportunity during each oscillation.

Then you follow the blockchain transactions back and find the transaction where grade 2 bolts were shipped to the guy who lied.

How did they solve crimes 10 years ago when people didn't have smart phones? What evidence was available then that isn't available now?

Let's seal this cave airtight and fill it with sweet breathable air. Then let's start digging out the cave walls for fuel! What could go wrong?

*sigh*
I'm in my mid-50s and I rock-climb, lift weights, run and am the same weight I was in high school. I could probably beat you in a 5K.
I play Tetris after talking to my wife. It has helped.

> No, that's not really maths,
define concat(x,y)=x*10^floor(log10(y)+1)+y
Now it is.
or to make it clearer:
define numdigits(x)=floor(log10(x)+1)
define concat(x,y)=x*10^numdigits(y)+y
> concatenation is still not math
define concat( x, y) = x*10^floor(log10(y)+1) + y
There. Now it is math.
No computer science string manipulation, only math.
