Now go have a look at that 300MW farm, thats 100,000 miners, you can't have them all facing a small area that you can control, they need to be spread, each miner can make up to 90db, noise level increases by 10 db everytime you 10x the noise source
1 miner does 90db
10 miners do 100db
1000 miners do 110db
10,000 miners do 120db
100,000 miners do 130db
If there was one downside to bitcoin it has to be the noise pollution and the huge power consumption. I'm really not sure that the world is better off due to bitcoin now that I've seen these downsides. I can't imagine anyone that is affected by the noise of these mining operations would like bitcoin at all. And I don't recommend they do either!
This is true.
I would love to see that company be forced to use liquid cooling .
If you really think about 300 megawatts of heat they could provide 300,000,000 x 4 = 1,200,000,000 btu of heat. My furnace has a 100,000 btu..
And it runs around 4 hours a day in the winter. So 1,200,000,000/100,000= 12000 homes and X 6 = 72,000 homes could be heated with the wasted heat
So Texas is simply allowing wasted resources. Just think of the fucking stupidity of the government of the USA.
Every major city in cold weather should have the mines.
Texas should truck ot ship oil to say Boston. Boston already burns, thousands of gallons of oil to heat homes.
Burn the oil to run a mine use liquid cooling and pipe the heat to homes.
If you mine doge which never runs out of coins and is the perfect small value p2p payment plan you could heat all of new England all of new york and Chicago.
Plus mine a double use of the fuel.
The solution is right there. This is why I hate both Trump Harris as neither one talks about this and this could work.
Instead mining crypto is the simple mis use of tools the way it is done now.
