I spoke to a guy locally who was in the paper for using miners to heat his water tank in an apartment building, but unfortunately he told me he had his miners turned off.

He said he was having router issues. I offered to help him but he was, naturally, quite skeptical of me as this was our first conversation. I invited him to our meetup but he didn't show. Maybe I'll reach out again.

Wow! I'd assume that somebody interested enough to heat an apartment water tank would be pretty capable/committed.

But I think it speaks to the problem here: a Bitcoin miner water heater adds a layer (or two) of complexity to a device that most people want to think about never.

i agree. that makes me wish i'd asked him if he had help in the first place.

he really leaned into the bitcoin branding, too, so it may have helped him in marketing front. it could have the opposite effect for some people too i guess.
