103. You start looking for places around the planet with the lowest KWh costs.
104. You start looking for really cold countries to setup an outdoor air cooled mining facility.
105. You really do wonder which countries match the criteria for 103 and 104, and which would be the cheapest factoring in PUE.
106. You wonder if a nearby lake could act as a heat sink, but are still a bit concerned about possibly slow cooking all the fish alive.
107. You wonder how you can turn heat into an additional revenue stream. And begin by googling Low-temperature cooking and Sous-vide.
108. You wonder if you could ever mass market electric Bitcoin radiators.
109. You wonder if you have said too much about your addiction by taking part in this thread.

There is my 10, I hope at least one of them made you smile.
