I meant “the steam client”.

You are correct - but we totally have ways of monetization that don’t require you to burn a lot of energy. Like normal money for example.

I totally disagree here. First of all, the initial proposal was for the steam client to mine crypto. The client has no idea where its electricity comes from. And no grid is using 100% renewables, so its currently better to feed your solar power into the grid than to waste it on crypto

That would be a huge waste of ressources. We as humans need to switch to carbon-free energy sources and should not start wasting ressources on mining “steam bux”.
