Haven't kept up with all the posts on this list but I've been on this thread about deadly-digital-money a bit.

I must have missed where whatever the issue with bitshares (trading bot at https://github.com/Codaone/DEXBot ) is. It seems to meet your qualifications to me but may fall short in other areas. https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/gmhuon/in_the_last_24_hours...
Watching the mining pool charts... the large pools are slowly killing off the smaller pools. BTC.com and AntPool are both Bitmain, Nakamoto Coefficient (a measure of decentralization) has dropped to 2, they control 62% of the hashrate. https://btc.com/stats/pool?pool_mode=day
Welcome to joint problem of ASICs... central sole source ASIC Corps presale mining out with their own HW first, then dictating preferred bulk sales channels and destinations... and lack of personal responsibility to your own nominal values held by running and adopting global commodity CPU/GPU mined ASIC-hard coins, abandoning large pools for smaller pools. Avoiding your responsibilities in these ways will get you censored and wiped out... just like Fiat. If it's free no effort you take, you become the victim.
I began "birddogging" (brazenly approaching and trying to ask concise obvious questions that peoples' conversation habits have been tending to turn away) the developers in response to this at https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2020-May/017882.html . The first reply I got included a proposal that we work to build international electricity infrastructure rather than work on software solutions, maybe parroting something old. It takes a while for replies to trickle through the moderation queue. Random youtubes...

(personally I don't watch youtube, hard to quickly grok (i.e. understand thoroughly), and requires graphics systems that crash my overburdened devices; but I miss most information anyway. i know you guys are good at bringing what's important into text and it's my responsibility to read it eventually) Happy Cryptocurrency Pizza Day.
I discovered that with a lot of chemical processing old mining equipment can be used to fertilize wheat used for pie crusts. The running mining machines fire the oven. (I'm joking here, not intended meanly: trying to raise a little how to consider both the merits (e.g. transparency, economic accessibility) and harm (e.g. energy waste, deadly detached capital culture) of cryptocurrency, together)
