One of New York’s well-known boroughs is Brooklyn, of which Willamsburg is one of the most popular districts these days. A popular bathhouse operates here, which recently announced on its social media that it heats its pools with heat generated during cryptocurrency mining. The post published on Instagram is a short video in which they also show how heating with Bitcoin mining works. Such trendy projects only help the even greater acceptance of bitcoin. The bathhouse narrows down the process to three main steps. The first step is to mine bitcoins with electricity, the byproduct of which is heat. This heat is then transferred to the pools through heat exchangers. Guests enjoy the heat of the pool, and then the cooled water is circulated back to the miners. In general, there are not really many comments on the spa’s posts, but this one just received nearly 300. Surprisingly, not all of them are positive, some argue about who is mining and who is pocketing the profit, others simply wrote that the to the bath. But there are fewer of them, many welcomed the innovation. It is well known that bitcoin mining requires a lot of energy, and all energy-saving solutions are welcome. Later, several media outlets contacted the spa’s founder, Jason Goodman, who said that they are saving significant amounts of money by using the energy used for mining twice, in a certain sense. Since then, the spa has created a Frequently Asked Questions section on its website to answer the questions of interested parties. Incidentally, the place opened in 2021 from a former factory, where not only bathing, but also massages, a restaurant and a bar await guests. Those who can now look into the secrets of bitcoin mining.
