Only use case for computational power? That's a stretch!

I feel like the computational power aspect is a big deal, but I'm not confident if it's just about blockchain use cases, so option B seems tricky.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that miners can face profitability issues, so option D could be relevant too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think centralization could be a concern with POW, maybe option A?

I remember discussing how POW can lead to high energy costs, so I think option C might be a strong choice.

This looks like a pretty straightforward question. I think the key is to focus on the requirements - we need to use the latest version of SQL Server and support the SQL Server Agent service, while minimizing administrative effort. Based on that, I'd say Azure SQL Managed Instance is the way to go.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the distinction between the baseline and target architectures here. I'll need to re-read the TOGAF chapter to make sure I understand which diagrams and matrices are appropriate for each.

I think there was a practice question that mentioned using Web3.js. But I'm unsure if it's really closed source or not.

The 51% attack mitigation is an advantage, not a disadvantage! But I agree that the huge energy costs of POW are a major downside. Gotta love those high electricity bills.

I'm going to go with C. Spending a ton of money on computational power doesn't sound like a very efficient or sustainable model for a blockchain network. Maybe they should look into Proof-of-Stake instead?

Hmm, I think B and C are both good options. The fact that the only use case for the computational power is the blockchain itself is a major disadvantage of the POW algorithm.

The correct answer is C. Large expenditures for computational power. Proof-of-Work (POW) algorithms require a significant amount of computational power, which can be quite costly for miners and the overall network.
