Some people believe that cryptocurrencies are a strange way to make money. And in a way, they are right. From energy extracted from volcanoes to body heat, here are some weird ways to do crypto mining<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volcano-powered mining<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some governments of the world are in favor of cryptocurrencies. But El Salvador<\/a> has taken this commitment further and has set out to create a Bitcoin City powered by volcano’s energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The geothermal plant that will power Bitcoin City<\/a> has not yet been built. But president Nayib Bukele has already advanced his attempts to harness the energy of El Salvador’s volcanoes with strange forms of crypto mining. In 2021, they installed 300 miners<\/a> to extract Bitcoin at the Berlin Geothermal Power Plant<\/strong> near the Tecapa volcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body Heat Crypto Mining<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following weird way of crypto mining looks like something from The Matrix. In that film, the humans were hooked up to a device that drew electrical energy from each brain so the machines could live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At The Institute of Human Obsolescence (IoHO), they achieved something that also seems science fiction. The institute managed to mine<\/a> cryptocurrencies just by using body heat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a special suit, they managed to get 37 people to collect 127,210 milliwatts of electricity. The experiment lasted 212 work hours and mined 17,000 different crypto assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cryptocurrencies obtained were divided between the study participants and the institute. But, with such a low rate of profit, it’s still far from becoming a way of mining cryptocurrencies for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moon Mining<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although we still don’t know about the existence of mining farms on the moon, the following strange form of crypto mining will not cease to amaze you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1960s, NASA<\/a> engineers created the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) to direct an American rocket to the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With only 16 bits, this computer was one of the first to have integrated circuits. It also provides the computing power needed to control the rocket’s orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while the AGC is now obsolete, Ken Shirriff and his team set out to use it to mine<\/a> crypto on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he later admitted that the computer was very slow. Therefore, \u201cit would take the AGC about a billion times the age of the universe\u201d would be needed to use it to mine a block successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weird ways of crypto mining closer to heaven<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We know a mosque can sound like one of the most extravagant crypto-mining places. But, the truth is that they have become an excellent way to extract cryptocurrencies because they have subsidized energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
