    I’m fully aware grid-scale storage has its challenges, but something as simple as heating water a large boiler is more useful than mining crypto. Literally any other use is more useful to humanity than crypto.

      Edit: After looking at your profile history, I’m banning/blocking you on my instance. So if you reply and I don’t, it’s bot because I don’t care and won’t see the response anyway.

      That’s fine, it’s enough if others can see how willfully ignorant you are.

    I think you need to update your thinkinghttps://octopus.energy/press/believe-it-or-watt-octopus-energy-customers-provide-108mw-of-grid-flexibility-in-first-saving-session-equivalent-of-a-gas-power-station/ - this is from a year ago, things have got bigger since then with more customers making cash through using their solar batteries in forced charge/discharge mode.
