Yep, will be waiting for published third party security audit results and compliance reports. About open-source he said :
Correct! It’s not open source and at least for the foreseeable future, I’m planning on keeping it closed. Like JG mentioned, because of internal audit requirements that I’ll be going through in Visa and MC over the next few months, I need to ease that pain as much as possible. They treat open source finance products with increased scrutiny.
Out from one fire into another…
I switched to posteo. 1eur / month, does the job. Also use Thunderbird on mobile.
If people plan on switching my recommendation is not to do it all at once. Create the new email account and then slowly when you use accounts or buy something online point to the new account. It’s also a good idea since you start a fresh email account to not give your email to just any random websites or services. For this I use firefox email relay that I also pay 1$ per month.
Yeah it’s a bit confusing. When I hear “battery capacity” I think about GWh not GW but I suppose it isn’t “wrong” as it can mean output “capacity” and they did mention “in GW”
Not sure where you’re getting the numbers from but I think @DarthFrodo@lemmy.world is right here as in the differences in numbers are probably explained by the fact that the first number is only for batteries used to balance the grid and the other one is more general.
But yeah you do make a good point that we have no clue about actual storage capacity. Still, really strange that EU numbers are so low. I expected way more.
I don’t really get it, in the chart “Installed grid-scale battery capacity in gigawatts, 2025”
Europe barely has like 17GW in total but later on below they say:
In Europe, it sees batteries that are already online or nearing completion as likely to benefit most, with capacity seen rising from about 50 gigawatts in 2025 to 75 gigawatts by year-end.
What is this big discrepancy? Is the second part talking about batteries not connected to the grid or something (not grid-scale?)
Interesting it’s the first time I hear about it, just read a summary of how it works. Is it used anywhere that you know of?
Also, who can be the exchange in practice? Banks?
