A New York City bathhouse and spa sparked a bit of controversy when they revealed that they were operating a small-scale bitcoin mining operation that also heated their pools.
The business, named Bathouse, posted yesterday on Instagram they are operating on a Bitcoin Standard.
Bathhouse is located in Brooklyn and accepts Bitcoin payments. The company took to social media yesterday to explain how the process actually works.
The heat generated by their mining heats their pools, with the water returning later in the process to cool the hardware. Their post read, âEnjoy a hot pool while supporting the Bitcoin network.â
