> equipping it with bitcoin miners that can be turned on and off algorithmically to deal with the fluctuations in demand

Interesting that people are doing this! When I was thinking about this ~10y ago [1] the economics didn't work out because of how quickly the ASICs depreciated, but they've probably stopped getting better quickly by now?

If you find that interesting there are also mining bitcoin with gas that normally just gets burnt off at oil wells, rubbish dumps etc.

I dislike bitcoin but this one definitely makes the most sense.
