We helped secure the bitcoin network and prevented our basement pipes from freezing around 5 years ago (Old building, new heat pumps installed for 1st and 2nd floor. The old basement steam boiler being removed lead to really low basement temps). Resistive heat was the only option down there. After improvements (water heater + circulation fan + insulation), we shipped the miner to a buyer from a hydro facility to burn excess watts for the rest of its life.
Don't hate on the BTC crowd, some of us also care about ecological load.
