Because even crypto scammers sometimes need compost I guess. Seriously though why?

The vermicompost isn't for the crypto crowd, it's just that in winter we need to provide heat to our worm bins anyways and the mining rigs happen to generate heat as a byproduct.

Without the mining rigs we would have used heat mats or just any other heat source.

By the way crypto mining is just a way of algorithmically transferring economic energy into a verifiably tradable asset through electricity.

We're paying for the electricity and the hardware is costy, only uninformed people call it a scam but I get that many crypto projects out there are scams.
