Majors versus minors are enterprise data centers versus blockchain, bitcoin and distributed ledger data centers. We dive into the differences in processing and environmental requirements for those two different use cases.
While the idea of blockchain and distributed ledgers generate very different computational profiles, what we're building keeps coming back to the design of a data center is design of a data center. The exception is proof of work like Bitcoin. In those cases, it's really just how many CPUs you can run.
For this episode, we focus on proof of stake data center infrastructure. This podcast is helpful to understand the difference between proof of work and proof of state. There's clear consensus on the call that that proof of work is not environmentally sustainable. So proof of stake is much more interesting.
