I love seeing these heatpunk things popping up. I've noticed that older model miners are really a lot cheaper now days and if you can combine that with not awful electricity pricing, maybe you can actually make money on the idea of using bitcoin miners for heat!

It will be very cool if this actually becomes a commonplace home heating option.

I have absolutely no need for space heating where I live, but I wonder how well those would fare heating water instead.

That’s great! We don’t need a furnace yet, nor do we live in Labrador, but I love seeing these projects advancing.

I’ll probably get something like a heatbit next but the big thing we’re going to need soon-ish is a water heater.

I'm in the same boat. My water heater is 15+ years old and I'm just waiting for it to die. It would be very cool to go in for a bitcoin miner water heater replacement.

If the economics keep improving, this could actually become a legit home heating option in colder places.
