This place, that I've just found online, isn't on BTC map because it doesn't accept Bitcoin.

Anyone in Brooklyn who wants to bathe in water heated with Bitcoin miners, check out this place (and tell them to accept bitcoin too).

The net result is that we are essentially energy-neutral because we are powering the miners with energy we already needed to purchase to heat our pools. Therefore, we are able to use this electricity "twice" in a certain sense. Once, to mine Bitcoin, and a second time to heat our pools. We are able to recover a lot of our energy costs while supporting the Bitcoin network and nerding out on a fun engineering project.

This sounds like a great use case, but you really have to do some digging to find any mention of bitcoin on the site.

I don't see myself as a bathhouse guy, but if I can convince them to accept payment in bitcoin I will pay them a visit.

Been there a bunch of times. They do accept BTC.

Great. If you are willing/able, could you put the Bathhouse on BTC map?

What has the world turn to when you have to orange pill bitcoin miners?

If they run Bitcoin miners for heat, they already deal with Bitcoin, so it really makes sense to accept it for services too.

I should orange pill the Hamams, completely natural and with great health benefits (unfortunately, mostly old people go these days), which made me think what's the purpose of modern shower sometimes...okay it cleans, but with all the chemical shampoo and shower gel? I like natural soap.!
