[chbot] crypto coins, miners etc

[Charles Manning]

Does it all actually make sense?

Last I heard the energy costs are such that bitcoin mining doesn't even pay
the electricity it takes to mine it. I guess if you are going to run a
heater anyway, it might as well mine for you, but then you'd still do
better putting the money into a heat pump.

Has that changed?
