That's whataboutism - a low carbon footprint doesn't change whether or not Nano is a scam. My Excel spreadsheet has an even lower carbon footprint than the AI you're pitching here. If they own a large enough majority to control the network, then they can dictate policy or favor their own blocks for free money.

It's ok dude, I'm not trying to sway you. I'm not invested into the topic enough to defend something against theoretical and unsubstantiated claims. Use what you want or don't

I'm warning potential readers about the scam you're promoting. If you don't care, then stop.

If a cryptocurrency involves trusting a central foundation at any point, it's a scam. It's an unnecessary security hole, and one would be damn foolish to invest in it just because the hole remains unused.
