Who knows, maybe some tech billionaire out there is really building a hidden underground facility powered by nuclear microreactor for a massive cryptocurrency mining operation.
Microreactors are below 20MW, which would mean at most 5000 Asics, given the actual hashrate there would be at least 6 million S19 running, so massive is not the word.
Wow, I did not know that about microreactors! YOu are right, 5,000 ASICs wouldnt qualify as "massive" these days. Still, the image of a hidden tech lair powered by a mini nuclear reactor is pretty darn cool. I wonder if these mini reactors will ever be like, shrunk down and idiot-proof enough for everyday folks to buy one and power their, you know, dream mansion/bitcoin mine (or maybe a post-apocalyptic shelter)?
