Bitcoin Miner Heats Greenhouses In The Netherlands
Bitcoin miners have devised inventive ways to recycle the heat generated by solving legitimate Bitcoin blocks as energy prices in Europe spiral out of control.
iexclusive News Nigeria reports that Bitcoin (BTC) mining produces a significant amount of “waste” heat.
However, a miner in Norway is drying wood from a local timber mill.
While a miner in the Netherlands is heating greenhouses to grow produce and blossom “Bitcoin flowers” across the North Sea.
What You Need To Know About Bitcoin Bloom:
Bitcoin Bloem mines Bitcoin and buds flowers in greenhouses in the province of North Braband, southeast of Rotterdam.
In win-win cooperation between a Dutch farmer and a Bitcoin miner.
Bitcoin Bloem mines BTC in the farmer’s greenhouses and pays the electricity bill.
The farmer receives free heat to cultivate his crops. Consider the “Bitcoin flowers,” for which Bitcoin Bloem sells the cream in the coffee to the environmentally friendly company.
The operation “reduces the usage of natural gas” in the greenhouse growing process, according to Bert de Groot, the founder of Bitcoin Bloem, because Bitcoin miner heat replaces polluting gas heaters.
More also, using BTC miners to generate heat saves both the farmer and Bitcoin Bloem money. Because natural gas prices have “skyrocketed,” mining heat makes sense for the farmer.
They get access to cheaper electricity for Bitcoin Bloem.
De Groot claimed the Netherlands may “be an optimum place for Bitcoin mining” in the future when asked if the country could welcome additional BTC miners.
“The majority of large-scale data centers of digital giants, such as Google and Facebook, are located in the Netherlands because there is an abundance of cooling water and cheap electricity for large-scale operations.”
The “Texas solution” would be “interesting to roll out in the Netherlands,” he added.
The Texas method is based on “load balancing” and collaborating with local governments to control power consumption.
“White Rabbit” and “Blue Pill” are the names of the flowers sold by Bitcoin Bloem.
“We offer you flowers for your Bitcoin because your bitcoin is a waste of energy too,”
The website says, in a jab at the energy FUD that is often flung at Bitcoin.
