Should Bitcoin Miners form Councils, Does it work for or against decentralization?" Pros and Cons
summary
A loose Bitcoin Mining Council forms a 30‑member coalition claiming ~33% global hash rate, collects anonymized energy‑mix data in a seven‑week launch and publishes quarterly snapshots that count renewable plus nuclear as “sustainable.” The explicit goal is countering coal FUD with repeatable metrics and coordinated media messaging; submission anonymity and logo‑opt‑in protect participants. Remaining risks are regulatory capture and privacy leakage via power‑mix fingerprinting, plus debate over whether industry standardization helps or harms decentralization.
