After many years of development, Chiacoin finally launched a few weeks ago. And, to pretty much prove the old axiom that there s no such thing as a free lunch, while it may not be directly wasting CPU cycles, it s impacted the world differently: by destroying the global hard disc supply chain, driving prices for hard disks through the roof leading people to point out that even if it s not wasting electricity like Bitcoin, it may be
