PayPal is shaking up the Bitcoin mining world with a groundbreaking <a href="https://pyusd.mirror.xyz/P2fyue5RNhdOAV_IREgLPkj70vk-7zLAAw7Rk39s0iw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">proposal</a> to make the process more environmentally friendly. Teaming up with Energy Web and DMG Blockchain Solutions, PayPal’s Blockchain Research Group is introducing cryptoeconomic incentives.

Miners who use sustainable energy will be rewarded with special “green keys.” These keys, tied to their public keys, will give them a leg up in processing Bitcoin transactions, by attaching lower fees and an extra locked BTC reward. But here’s the catch: Only green miners can claim this reward. 
This means miners will have a big incentive to switch to low-carbon energy sources. PayPal is hoping this move sparks innovation.

The proposed <a href="https://filecache.mediaroom.com/mr5mr_paypal/186970/Green_Mining_Initiative_2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">solution</a> will harness the power of Energy Web’s “Green Proofs for Bitcoin”&nbsp; platform, allowing miners to gain certification based on their utilization of clean energy and their impact on the grid. 
PayPal BRG has successfully tested this innovative solution with DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc., a prominent Bitcoin miner. 
During the test, they sent out multiple low-fee transactions to observe how well they performed under varying levels of on-chain transaction volume. 
The results showed that, depending on the volume, some transactions took a long time to confirm or were eventually dropped by the network. This increased the chances for green miners to pick up these transactions. 
In essence, this solution not only promotes environmentally friendly mining practices but also enhances transaction efficiency, making it a win-win for everyone involved.
