In the Czech Republic, tomatoes were grown on heating from mining

Co-founder of the Czech currency exchange NakamotoX, Kamil Brejcha, launched a blockchain-start-up, which is engaged in the cultivation of crops with the help of heat generated during the production of crypto-currency.

"Our employees have created special cases for miners and a heat sink system that sends excess heat to the beds where tomatoes are grown," he said in his Twitter.

The project, information about which had not been disclosed before, now allowed to harvest the first crop - five acres of crypto-tomatoes. Now it will become the basis of the business direction called Agritechture.

"We use excess heat for greenhouses with tomatoes, and it works! And the energy for mining is extracted from biological waste, - says Breich. "Soon, such crypto-tomatoes can be bought at grocery stores, but I can not tell you more."
