Don't give the bitcoin bros any ideas

  Wait that’s actually a great idea. It’s totally wasted now. One of the other comments say where would you send the power because it’s in the middle of no where. Small initial investment and some satellite internet and your off to the races. I mean, it’s literally a complete waste right now, the Bitcoin infra might eventually become developed enough to complete cover the crater. Then you could potentially extinguish it and sell the gas. What am I missing here?

    > What am I missing here? It would still be a complete waste. Also all the work needed to set the plan in motion would probably be more expensive than just buying energy in a more convenient location.

  Ideas like mining bitcoin with otherwise non-economical natural gas? Too late: https://blog.upstreamdata.ca/datacenters/ https://blog.upstreamdata.ca/datacenters/
