I imagine it would have to be filtered, too, to keep small marine life
and debris from clogging up the piping.
Filtered through a Millipore filter? Keeping things from growing on your
underwater stuff is tough. Of course, you could just make it out of copper,
good thermal conductivity, hostile to marine growth.
I wonder if any forms of marine
life in that part of the ocean would like the warm water inside the
heat exchangers or at the exhaust and try to make it their homes.

Or, just for marketing (speaking as a cynical kind of dude, sometimes) - "Our
nodes have FPGA, not like those inferior nodes from competitor X"
I can't imagine a bitcoin miner "buying compute cycles" - Do it by making a
"deal" with the government to give you cheap joules and share the proceeds
either above or below the table.
