Digital economy

  • ... that the digital economy isn't an environmentally clean economy? Source: Cryptocurrency mining takes a substantial amount of electricity, generating a significant carbon footprint.

Created by Connorcwa (talk). Self-nominated at 03:13, 22 February 2022 (UTC).

  • The article needed to be expanded fivefold, but the increase in size by the nominator editor was from 33030 to 33761 prose characters, or about 2.5 percent rather than 400 percent. It was also nominated over two weeks after the modest expansion was done, more than a week late. Since it is completely infeasible for the article to be expanded sufficiently, this nomination is being marked as ineligible for DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:54, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
