According to this Carl guy[1] POS eth will consume 2.62MW (or 22.9512GWh annualized) which is better, but still quite a lot of power for a single core raspberry pi.
I'm sure you understand how disingenious calling it 'a single core raspberry pi' is even if you dislike crypto. Please attempt building say a DEX with comparable guarantees, uptime and traffic if you believe they serve the same purpose.
Because it's like calling tents useless because of how much better flats are due to pipes, electricity, insuation and so on. In both cases you are focusing on some metrics while specifically ignoring the usecases where tents/Ethereum can be used in a way flats/pis cannot be.
Thanks for elaborating, but I disagree with your assertion that I'm being disingenuous.
When I compared Ethereum to a Raspberry pi I was continuing the comparison from the root comment. The point of the comment was that, although POS would produce a significant reduction in power consumption, it would still consume a significant amount of power compared to the computing power of the network.
Discussions about if Ethereum has extra utility that offsets that extra powerdraw is outside of this comment thread, since the restriction that consider Ethereum as a "global single core raspberry pi" are given by the root comment.
I didn't mean to (and don't think i did) present that in any tricky way, and I think you're projecting an argument onto my comments that I'm not making.
