Solar-powered Bitcoin Mining Farm
I found this video while doing some surfing. If I had the space this is the kind of thing I would like to setup. I know this solution doesn't really scale well to a major mining operation but still, doesn't the idea of turning solar photons into bitcoins or other altcoins still seem cool even if only for the novelty?
It seems feasible to scale, but only on a truly massive level.
You'd have to ditch the panels and for a solar thermal energy set-up instead.
Iceland needs to become the crypto currency mining capital! Bitcoins from volcanoes!
Geothermal cryptocurrency.
It's just crazy enough to work.
That's very cool.. Even if it's only bringing in small bucks, it's still converting light into money. That's awesome!
