GREEN MINING

One Of The Oldest Hydro-Power Stations In The U.S Is Mining Bitcoin

By Namcios

An old hydro-power station in the U.S. has started mining bitcoin to make three times as much money as selling the energy.

This is the incredible story of a Mechanicville hydro-power station, one of the oldest in the United States.  Thanks to Bitcoin, it went from bankrupt and inoperable to generating at full capacity and using part of its produced green energy to mine bitcoin. Besha, CEO of Albany Engineering Corp., which owns the Mechanicville plant, mentioned that this is something they are doing on the side, to experiment, and the results have been outstanding, selling excess energy for three times the money to the Bitcoin network.

Scaling Lightning: To El Zonte.. And Beyond
By Roy Shienfield

The path forward for Bitcoin is clear, with a revolution in the ability to transfer value occurring right in front of us.

The path to progress is clear. First comes the Internet, followed by Bitcoin, and now.. the Lightning Network. For those who may not be well versed, the Lightning Network is a 2nd-layer solution built on top of the Bitcoin network, allowing users to do peer-to-peer transactions with little to no fees using the native asset, bitcoin.
