Indeed. I've been looking at mineral oil, but it has a lot of up front expenses. If done right, and at scale, it could provide an edge by consuming about half the electricity. Though I see the next big area of profit being a big jump in hashpower. If somebody would make a 50 TH/s miner, that'd surely be profitable for a while. However, I'm not sure I see that playing out due to high up front costs.

How in the world would mineral oil cut your power consumption by half?!?!?

El Salvador - TROPICAL climate.
Wouldn't drop the actual miner consumption much - but might drop the AIR CONDITIONING requirement a ton - which is what I think they were claiming.
