Bitcoin Heater


This bathhouse makes $$ heating its pools with Bitcoin mining
Morning Brew

Crypto currency is stupid. After transportation, it is one of the biggest energy consumers on the planet. Maybe. Bitcoin miners and their like suck up a ton of electricity and turn it into heat. It's stupid, but it makes money.

However, if you have electric heat, a Bitcoin heater can make some money that can be used to offset your electric bill, which would be nice.

PGE (Portland General Electric not Pacific Gas & Electric, which operates in California) just raised their rates. My last electric bill was for $150. Last time I checked it was like a buck and a half, so I ain't happy.
