bitcoinClean is the first eco-friendly cryptocurrency, that can only be mined with renewable energy, such as solar, wind, hydro, thermal, or tidal energy. It is a hard fork of Bitcoin, which introduces Proof-Of-Greenness protocol to verify green miners.
bitcoinClean (or BCL) is a Bitcoin hard fork that addresses the rampant pollution from energy production for Bitcoin mining today. Bitcoin’s success comes at huge economic and environmental cost, as multiple terawatts of energy are used to mine blocks. Most of this energy is from non-renewable sources. A recent motherboard article calculated the energy used to confirm a single Bitcoin transaction at 215 kWh, the same amount of energy used by a US household in a week. 87% of this energy comes from fossil fuel use, on average.
