Resourceful miners found a way a substantial reduction in price bitcoin mining
Source:bitcoin is always fraught with honest costs in terms of money and environment. Representatives of the Northern Bitcoin claimed that they managed to reduce the costs due to inactive metal mining mine in Norway. The company expects to produce 100 bitcoins a day. Now she is in the process of starting their own mining-pool.
If you need a great and cool place for mining cryptocurrencies, then why not take the empty shaft? Mine Lefdal in Norway, for example, for cooling of the mining-racks uses the icy water of the fjords. In addition, the electricity here generate hydroelectric power, and windmills, and it is much cheaper than buying electricity. Such favourable conditions helped to breathe new life into derelict for ten years mine. Now it is not only the place of dislocation of mining-farm Northern Bitcoins, but a data center to IBM.
According to Bitcoinist, bitcoin mining one of the company required only $ 2,700. For comparison, the average cost of mining each bitcoin Norway is $ 7,700. It makes mining unprofitable and brings it into the category of long-term investments. But Bitcoin is ahead of Northern China , where production of each coin translates into $ 3,100. The most expensive to engage in mining in Australia, where costs reach 10 thousand dollars for BTC.
The Internet and then there are contradictions. Some write that mining is pushing our planet to an inevitable oblivion, the other is awarded Bitcoins more important than gold or . Whatever the opinion, the need to increase energy efficiency is obvious.

Mining company and favorable climatic conditions. Of course, the obvious motive here is profit maximization, but some solutions can also positively influence the state of the environment.
For Example, craftsmen of taking excess electricity from other industries, and then share with the infrastructure of the excess heat from mining-farms. In Russia, mining is also gaining popularity. Perhaps this is due to the cold climate and relatively cheap electricity in some regions of the country. However, the extraction refers to the types of activities. The prospects of the legal framework in this respect is unclear.
