What do a swimming pool, beef jerky, a caravan, timber, animal waste, a Guatemalan lake and a high school have in common?\u00a0<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve all been saved by Bitcoin (BTC) mining. From reusing \u201cwaste\u201d heat to getting the job done \u2014 to receiving a cool blast of air to dehydrate meat, to cleaning up pollutants, Bitcoin mining does more than just secure the network.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a round-up of seven times Bitcoin mining lent a hand or simply made the world a better place.<\/p>\n
Sustainable Bitcoin mining company Merkle Standard has taken Bitcoin mining education into its own hands. In partnership with Bitmain, they recently gifted the latest in Bitcoin mining technology to Newport High School, a high school in Washington state.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Plus, they donated $10,000 and are promoting education about Bitcoin in the hope that it will, \u201cplant a seed that encourages lifelong interest in blockchain and digital mining.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with the check, Ruslan Zinurov, Merkle Standard’s CEO, told Cointelegraph that they will also invite students to their \u201cdata center to check on their machine that is hashing to their school\u2019s wallet.\u201d Zinurov told Cointelegraph:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is our top priority to get the community excited about Bitcoin and we can’t think of a better way to do this than to educate the local students.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Adam Delderfield, business development manager at Bitmain \u2014\u00a0the holding company for the Antminer Bitcoin miners\u00a0\u2014\u00a0told Cointelegraph, \u201cDigital currency mining proceeds from this gift will go directly to education,\u201d adding that \u201cBitcoin mining and proof-of-work represent an exciting new industry that opens up numerous new opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
