June 22 (Cointime) - A Brooklyn bathhouse and spa called Bathhouse has sparked controversy by revealing that they operate a small-scale bitcoin mining operation to heat their pools. The company claims that the heat generated by their mining rig heats their pools, which then returns later in the process to cool the hardware.
The company took to social media to explain the process and claimed that it has proven to themselves that bitcoin mining is a viable option. However, some social media users expressed concerns about the transparency and ethics of the mining operation.
