I had a chat with Guillaume and he raised the concern of energy consumption on blockchain platforms.

I had a little look, and realized this platform runs on Etherium, which has a significantly lower energy footprint

than bitcoin, but still a rather high footprint. You can see the consumption charts through years here:

https://digiconomist.net/ethereum-energy-consumption

According the above link, energy per transaction on etherium is ~40kWh, which is about 6EUR/transaction

on my electricity bill, and to be that's way too high of a price and electricity consumption.

I think then my vote would be a no wrt. this platform.

Cheers,

Subject: [Pandas-dev] Crypto project to fund open source
To: pandas-dev <pandas-dev@python.org>

Hi,

I've been contacting regarding a crypto project that aims at funding open source projects. Not sure about the details, but seems like if we register pandas, we'll be getting funds as the crypto is mined (after users endorse pandas I think).

Not so familiar myself with crypto or the project, but just in case anyone finds it interesting and wants to add pandas to it: https://devprotocol.xyz/

Cheers,

Marc
