Title: How 100% green hydroelectric power helps bitcoin mining Post by: joust on February 13, 2015, 09:17:37 PM Ever wondered how green all this bitcoin mining is? Well here is a little video from our sister company, www.hydro66.com that shows you the hydro-electric dams that power our mining operation. Zero carbon as it uses just the falling water flowing down the river from the Arctic melt water.
Nice little factoid at the end that just the hydro-electric dams on our river (there are many more on the other rivers in our region in Sweden) generate 3,436MW, or twice the total power consumption of Iceland. Now that's serious power, and we are doing our best to consume as much of it as supplies of miners allows to meet customer demand. Enjoy the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t5mV0_KVe4 Justin CEO www.megamine.com Title: Re: How 100% green hydroelectric power helps bitcoin mining Post by: tntdgcr on February 13, 2015, 09:24:06 PM Ever wondered how green all this bitcoin mining is?

lies! hydro produces CO2 and Methane from the accumulation of biomass at the dam. ;D Title: Re: How 100% green hydroelectric power helps bitcoin mining Post by: redsn0w on February 13, 2015, 11:25:23 PM It helps the world not the bitcoin, free energy without production CO2. However well done , and good luck!

Dams are blue death! Kidding, I don't actually think that way, but there are plenty of confused enviro-nazis that certainly DO think that way. Expecting a real one to chime in any second....

I'll be more careful & put a disclaimer next time though :) J Title: Re: How 100% green hydroelectric power helps bitcoin mining Post by: rkinnin on May 05, 2015, 02:53:09 AM Ever wondered how green all this bitcoin mining is?

I guess my question here is if I am mining say 1Th all the way up to say 100 Th what does that equate to in KHw? I found a few mom-n-pop hydro's that do .3MW to 1MW but wasn't sure if that was enough.

Depends what the kit is - but generally it's from around 0.4W/GH to 0.8W/GH which means 1TH is 400W-800W and 100TH is 40kW-80kW.I guess my question here is if I am mining say 1Th all the way up to say 100 Th what does that equate to in KHw?
