What transpired at GetBlock Magazine? A platform to incentivize Bitcoin miners to use low-carbon energy sources was developed by the research arm of payments company PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) in collaboration with NGO EnergyWeb. In addition, the group came up with a plan to boost the possibility that platform-using businesses will send their on-chain funds to these “green miners.”
Do you know anything else? Using specific public keys associated with them, the platform will distribute rewards to Bitcoin miners who become accredited for low-carbon mining.
Such “green miners” will be given preference when sending on-chain transactions for processing due to the lower commission they offer. The extra Bitcoin reward that is stored in the multisig payout wallet will compensate for this discrepancy.
Because additional locked rewards will only be available to participating miners, there is an incentive for them to process such transactions.
With this development, the parties aim to support the role of cryptocurrencies in a sustainable future, as pointed out by PayPal, which is an important topic in practically every emerging and established industry in the world.
Canadian blockchain innovator DMG Blockchain Solutions put the system through its paces.
The digital transaction security platform Mesh was funded with $6.5 million by PayPal in January. PYUSD, PayPal’s own stablecoin, was used to pay for 77% of the investment. In the wake of the asset’s launch, PayPal was served with a subpoena by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Norway proposed mining regulations in April, including a requirement for businesses in the sector to register. The document’s stated goal is to curb mining’s negative impact on the environment. Earlier, rather than prohibiting mining altogether, Paraguay’s senators chose to investigate the possibility of selling surplus power to the sector.
