Podcasts: Read_628 - How Bitcoin Can Unlock the Energy of the Ocean [Level39] 🔗 2 years ago

Bitcoin Audible

"A typical Bitcoin mining operation will spend considerable amounts of time, energy and money cooling their ASIC miners with air conditioning or liquid immersion cooling, and these costs eat into profitability. However, the main waste product of OTEC is a nearly-infinite and continuous supply of 5ºC cold water. Not only does OTEC produce free cooling, it provides a level of cooling that almost no one else in the mining industry has access to — enough to overclock mining rigs by 30% to 40%, according to Harmon. This allows OTEC to essentially achieve a power usage effectiveness (PUE) level of 1 — representing nearly perfect mining efficiency. It may very well be the most efficient way to mine Bitcoin." - Level39

We may be on the verge of an energy revolution due to the incentives and characteristics of Bitcoin and proof of work mining. The ability to solidify and transport stranded energy may change everything. Find out more in today's episode with a read from Level39 and Bitcoin Magazine.
