What to know:
- AgriFORCE Growing Systems fired up its first bitcoin mine in Berwyn, Alberta, delighting 120 ASIC miners with a banquet of stranded gas.
- This little operation, humming away in the provincial backroads, churns out over 32 petahashes per second — and the fellows in charge reckon they’ll juice it up by another 200 kW soon enough.
- The grand plan: make the thing so mighty it reaches 1 exahash per second by 2026, all while acting like some outlaw train robbers but with computers and gas instead of horses and six-shooters.
Boys and girls, AgriFORCE Growing Systems, a modest agricultural outfit grown tired of watching beans sprout, has found itself knee-deep in the digital wild west. They’ve banged the drum and rallied the crew to Berwyn, Alberta — a place where the prairie wind cuts sharp and stranded natural gas is as plentiful as prairie dogs.
With their compadre BlueFlare Energy — an outfit with a taste for innovation and apparently a few wires loose in the best way — they’ve wheeled in 120 mining machines to chew on that unwanted gas. Who knew the future would be powered by leftovers?
The Berwyn establishment drinks deep from the well of 425 kW, turning idle fumes into more than 32 PH/s of compute grunt. Word is, the next phase will guzzle another 200 kW, because nothing says progress like bigger machinery and even more blinking lights. BlueFlare’s got gadgets to sniff out carbon and spit out telemetry quick enough to impress even the smartest cow in the field. 🐄
How do you squeeze a nickel from a stone? Fellas in bitcoin mining have been sniffing around flared gas for ages — turning what used to be a chemical nuisance into a meal ticket, hoping to outfox the miners who tried to win big with “green” energy and got left holding empty bags.
Their game plan is a three-ring circus: some bitcoin mining, a dollop of modular compute, and whatever else they can conjure to make dusty gas lines pay rent. And wouldn’t you know it, they’ve inked a deal to spread their method to Oyen and Hinton, rolling out another 1.3 MW of this 21st-century voodoo magic. Those machines aren’t just mining bitcoin — they’ll be ticking away at AI models and other chores, making sure not a single digital carrot goes unpicked.
Rather than plug into the main grid like the rest of us simple folk, AgriFORCE prefers to scavenge — gulping down unused gas and building up steam faster than a farmer with a shotgun and a raccoon problem. So far, they’ve pried seven bitcoins from the digital ether at Alberta and Ohio, holding onto half like misers and spending the rest like cowboys at the county fair.
With eyes on 1 EH/s by Q1 2026, they’re well on their way to being legends — or cautionary tales — at the crossroad of energy, innovation, and a touch of frontier lunacy. But hey, at least it’s never boring. 🤠💸
