Energy and PoW: Debunking the Myths (VeloxDAG Edition)

Proof-of-Work critics cite energy consumption. Fair. But context is routinely omitted: banking, data centers, and gold mining dwarf crypto by orders of magnitude.

PoW aligns incentives with stranded energy — flare gas, hydro oversupply, remote renewables that can't reach grids. Miners seek the cheapest joule, not the dirtiest.

VeloxDAG's BlockDAG reduces *wasted* work from orphan races common in linear chains. More blocks confirm per unit of hash when the DAG is healthy.

We don't claim zero footprint. We claim honest money has a visible cost — and that cost secures a neutral global ledger. Compare that to opaque monetary expansion by central banks.

CPU-friendly launch phases also let home miners participate without industrial farms — broadening distribution before specialization occurs.
