Big-picture Bitcoin mining 

Happy September, Baltimore. With our Digital Infrastructure Month coming to a close, today, we have a story illuminating where Bitcoin mining and public energy infrastructure intersect.
 
 Bitcoin mining has graduated to an industrial scale over the years. Long gone are the days of a few PCs in the basement. Power plants, paper mills and all kinds of industrial infrastructure are being repurposed for Bitcoin mining.
 
Environmental concerns frequently accompany these transactions. Technical.ly thus spoke with heads of three companies trying to make Bitcoin mining a solution for communities, and not a problem.
 
 How do you feel about Bitcoin mining at an industrial scale? Is it something you'd want in your neighborhood?
 
Let us know by replying to this email or sending a note to , anytime.
