An American mining company has opened a data center in #Argentina to mine #bitcoin using energy from ๐ฅ burning associated gas.
This would power 1,200 #ASIC miners from a thermal power plant, which would burn gas that would have been burned anyway, and its heat would wastefully heat the atmosphere, exacerbating the ๐ณgreenhouse effect.
We previously reported that the coal company ๐จ mined 425 $BTC , also using its own surplus energy. It seems that green mining is becoming a trend.
