Iranian architects designed a water-cooled mining facility hidden in a skyscraper water park

A group of Iranian designers have submitted designs for a cryptocurrency mining facility hidden in a skyscraper water park in Tehran, The Next Web reports. The idea behind this design was to build an off-grid, glass-encased water park that secretly mines cryptocurrency all day, every day, all year long and uses the facility to cool, power, and store the equipment, energy, and cryptocurrency. These designs were submitted to a skyscraper architectural competition in response to U.S. sanctions on Iran, the cited report explains.
