Just some Bitcoin mining machines heating a town in Finland. Our sixth site here is coming online soon — providing heat for the Finns and bitcoin for their owners. At this point, bitcoin mining is probably heating the homes of over 100,000 people in Finland.

I think is very cool that the early hydro power plants in Norway almost only used local parts, made by some local handymen from small villages. Norway was built on testing, trial and error. You can call it the «cowboy» mentality. That innovative mentality, coupled with a huge

Did you know that some hosting providers charge you for up to 5% downtime before they issue downtime credits? This 5% can lift your effective hosting rate from the advertised $0.075/kWh to $0.079/kWh. Miners should only pay for the electricity actually used. Period.

It is crazy to see how many miners believe they can save taxes by mining bitcoin. It is pretty simple. Mining will (hopefully) generate a profit for you. That profit is taxable. Compared to buying BTC, mining will increase your tax bill.

Right now, approximately 71 TWh of energy is stored in hydropower reservoirs in Norway. This could have produced about 93,000 BTC ⚡️ I'm not saying Norway should do this... but theoretically we could 🇳🇴

Just to give some perspective: 93,000 BTC is 57% of all the bitcoin that is being mined per year in the entire world. So, yes, Norway has a lot of energy. And as if that wasn't enough, we not only have tremendous amounts of hydropower. We also have a lot of oil and gas.
