Canaan and Bitforest just kicked off a serious play in Manitoba—a 3MW Bitcoin mining operation that's doing more than just hashing. They've deployed 360 liquid-cooled Avalon A1566HA miners, and here's the clever part: the waste heat gets recycled into a tomato greenhouse. Over the next 24 months, they're targeting 95% uptime while operating at $0.035/kWh. It's the kind of project that shows how mining infrastructure can double down on sustainability without sacrificing efficiency. Worth watching how the numbers pan out.

Quite interesting—using mining machine waste heat to grow tomatoes? Now that's real cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

Mining + Greenhouse? Dude, this idea has some potential. It's much more conscientious compared to those mining farms that just burn electricity. Can you really achieve a cost of $0.035/kWh? Is that true in Canada?

Speaking of this tomato greenhouse setup, it sounds good but can it be sustained? $0.035/kWh is indeed cheap, but I'm worried the costs might not be controllable in the future.

NGL, this combination of mining farm + agriculture is the first time I've seen it... Tomato greenhouse? Really?

NGL, these fancy operations in this tomato greenhouse are somewhat interesting. True mining should head in this direction.

Tomato greenhouse? Haha, this trick is pretty clever, but being able to achieve 95% stability is truly impressive.
