Was just thinking abandoned pizza shops are a dime a dozen where I live. If they have that huge hood type ventilation system and power for electric
ovens they might make excellent lease sites for bitcoin mining on a small to moderate scale. Just need to get rid of the big windows and secure the place
up and you have almost instant cheap small data center.
Well, can dream, can't I?

I was thinking the same thing when I drove behind a building the other day, and it had bunch of aluminum pipes sticking out of it, and I thought, "Woah, that could be a mining farm!" I turned around and heard air rushing out of the pipes! So, I drive around the side of the building... It's a laundromat.
I'd happily expand my mining operation if I could get one of those laundromats ... a few started closing down in my area ... crime is a bit too high though, I'll have to stick with mining from home
On another note, I had two machines that didn't recover well from last night's shenanigans on KDB/ckpool - rebooting didn't help, I shut them down for 20+ minutes and then powered them on again before they were happy again. Fortunately I use a wifi enabled power switch so I can just remotely power cycle stuff (TP-Link HS110 if anyone's interested, these easily handle the load on an S9)
