'Cryptomatoes' uses excess heat from mining to produce fruit.

In recent years, there have been many discussions about the energy consumed by cryptocurrency mining. However, the most recent mining operations have used ecological methods and some of them are channeling excess heat to produce other objectives. This week, the co-founder of the commercial platform Nakamoto X, Kamil Brejcha, revealed an image of tomatoes growing in a greenhouse that uses excess heat extraction to support the plant.

On March 10, the co-founder of the Nakamoto X exchange, Kamil Brejcha, revealed a photo of large clusters of tomatoes that were grown using the excess heat of the cryptocurrency miners. Mining platforms and computer servers, in general, emit a sufficient and appreciable amount of heat and many cryptocurrency proponents have used this resource to heat houses and other types of solutions. Brejcha explains that the "cryptomatoes" came true after they developed a system that helps to expel excess heat to the greenhouse.

"Who would imagine that mining cryptocurrencies and agriculture can work together?" Asks Brejcha to his followers on Twitter.

"The first batch of cryptomatoes is ready to be harvested. We are using excess heat for the tomato greenhouse and it is working. "

Brejcha says the project is in "stealth mode" and reveals that the team that produces the cryptogenic tomatoes is building a "start-up blockchain of Agritechture". However, it releases more details to its followers, explaining that the greenhouse has approximately 5 acres. One person asks Brejcha why the team did not grow cannabis plants with excess heat from the mine.

"Unfortunately, due to strict local regulations, we could not obtain a license for medical marijuana cultivation, so we had to choose tomatoes and other vegetables", "We are also producing our own energy: mining operations are driven by 100% of the energy produced by biological waste. Therefore, basically we have closed the energy cycle, "explains Brejcha.

According to Brejcha, people will be able to buy tomatoes in common stores. He says that the team has developed a system called "Cointainer" which is located in the basement and the excess heat from the mine is blown in the greenhouses. In addition, Brejcha says that the team has a vertical agriculture planned for the startup roadmap, as well as following the initial stages of the project. So far, with all the complaints about mining wasting energy, many cryptocurrency miners like Brejcha are demonstrating that mining can have an identical cycle to the closed energy cycle while producing digital assets, and fruits and vegetables.
