By now you're aware, the energy consumed to mine cryptocurrency is a global talking point. According to the Digiconomist's Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index, a single Bitcoin transaction consumes 1,544 kWh, or the equivalent of around 53 days of electricity for the average US family. Including Canada, North America dominates the global mining hashrate, with around half of the global supply. In their continued effort to reduce the carbon footprint, Toronto based LEV (Light Electric Vehicle) maker, Daymak has just unveiled their cryptocurrency mining car; a zero-emission daily driver that can be charged by the sun. The Daymark Spiritus will be integrated with high teck mining hardware and blockchain technologies, allowing it to mine various types of cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin and Doge- all while charging. The vehicle will have a GPU (graphics processing unit) that will support the Daymak Nebula, a patent pending technology. The Nebula is made up of two parts; a miner that harvests cryptocurrency and a digital wallet that stores the tokens. Spiritus owners will have access to the Nebula app to track their income, send, receive, or stake a variety of cryptocurrencies. Daymak president Aldo Baiocchi notes, "And whereas most vehicles are depreciating while they sit in your garage, the Nebula Miner will make you money while your Spiritus is parked."
