Hashlabs 利用比特幣挖礦機產生的熱量來溫暖芬蘭的房屋和建築物

該公司使用「WhatsMiner M63S」礦機，該礦機會產生大量的副產品熱量。但 Hashlabs 並沒有浪費這些熱量，而是捕獲它並將其轉化為熱水。

A mining company co-founded by Jaran Mellerud is using heat generated from Bitcoin mining machines to provide warmth in homes and buildings as winter sets across Finland.

Jaran Mellerud 共同創立的礦業公司正在利用比特幣挖礦機產生的熱量，在芬蘭冬季來臨之際為家庭和建築物提供溫暖。

Hashlabs, a mining company co-founded by Mellerud, has developed a project in Finland to use heat generated from Bitcoin mining machines to provide warmth in homes and buildings as winter sets across the country.

由 Mellerud 共同創立的礦業公司 Hashlabs 在芬蘭開發了一個項目，利用比特幣挖礦機產生的熱量在全國各地冬季來臨之際為家庭和建築物提供溫暖。

The company uses “WhatsMiner M63S” mining machines, which produce a significant amount of heat as a byproduct. But instead of wasting this heat, Hashlabs captures it and turns it into hot water. This hot water is then distributed into Finland’s district heating network through insulated underground pipes to warm buildings and keep the citizens cozy.

該公司使用「WhatsMiner M63S」礦機，該礦機會產生大量的副產品熱量。但 Hashlabs 並沒有浪費這些熱量，而是捕獲它並將其轉化為熱水。然後，這些熱水透過絕緣地下管道輸送到芬蘭的區域供熱網絡，為建築物供暖並讓市民保持舒適。

In a recent tweet, Mellerud shared images of mining machines. He said, “But don’t be afraid! WhatsMiner M63S #bitcoin mining machines are ready to provide heat for homes, hospitals, and other buildings. Bitcoin mining will help us get through the winter.”

在最近的一條推文中，梅勒魯德分享了採礦機的圖像。他說：「但是不要害怕！ WhatsMiner M63S #bitcoin 礦機已準備好為家庭、醫院和其他建築物提供熱量。比特幣挖礦將幫助我們度過冬天。

The project is innovative, and it helps reduce the use of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and peat, which most of the citizens use for heating.

該計畫具有創新性，有助於減少煤炭、石油和泥炭等化石燃料的使用，大多數公民使用這些燃料來取暖。

According to reports, Hashlabs has successfully integrated two mining facilities into Finland’s district heating systems, with a third project in progress.

據報道，Hashlabs 已成功將兩個採礦設施整合到芬蘭的區域供熱系統中，第三個項目正在進行中。

Moreover, this approach gives Bitcoin miners a chance to fight the financial challenges posed by the 2024 Bitcoin halving event. Following the Bitcoin halving, which reduced miner rewards from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block, many miners are struggling to stay profitable.

此外，這種方法讓比特幣礦工有機會應對 2024 年比特幣減半事件帶來的財務挑戰。比特幣減半後，礦工獎勵從每個區塊 6.25 BTC 減少到 3.125 BTC，許多礦工都在努力保持獲利。

But how are Bitcoin miners dealing with the halving effects?

但比特幣礦工如何應對減半影響呢？

As mentioned earlier, the halving event has put immense financial strain on Bitcoin miners, especially those operating at large scales. To cope with the reduced mining revenue, several companies have undertaken various strategies.

如前所述，減半事件給比特幣礦商帶來了巨大的財務壓力，尤其是那些大規模營運的礦商。為了因應挖礦收入的減少，多家公司採取了各種策略。

One notable approach is raising funds from the capital markets. Several publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies in the U.S. have collectively raised over $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2024 through stock offerings. This funding is crucial for miners to continue expanding their operations, covering costs, and staying competitive.

一個值得注意的方法是從資本市場籌集資金。 2024 年第二季度，美國幾家上市的比特幣礦業公司透過股票發行總共籌集了超過 17 億美元的資金。這筆資金對於礦商持續擴大業務、覆蓋成本和保持競爭力至關重要。

Prominent mining companies, such as Core Scientific and Marathon Digital, have also utilized alternative funding options like private offerings and loans. Core Scientific raised $100 million in a private placement, while Marathon Digital obtained a $100 million loan from Galaxy Digital. These funds are primarily used to purchase additional mining rigs and offset operating expenses.

Core Scientific 和 Marathon Digital 等著名礦業公司也利用了私募融資和貸款等替代融資方案。 Core Scientific 透過私募籌集了 1 億美元，而 Marathon Digital 則從 Galaxy Digital 獲得了 1 億美元貸款。這些資金主要用於購買額外的採礦設備並抵消營運費用。

However, despite their efforts, the financial challenges faced by Bitcoin miners continue to be a concern, especially as the mining difficulty keeps increasing.

然而，儘管他們付出了努力，比特幣礦工面臨的財務挑戰仍然令人擔憂，特別是隨著採礦難度不斷增加。
