Using bitcoin mining for heating. (self.Bitcoin)

sobriennuiredditor for 16 days が 投稿

Looking at a house. The previous tenants (or just random scrappers) pretty much gutted it for copper, which pretty much means I get to redo everything exactly the way I want it.

Which has led me to the kind of bizarre idea of installing bitcoin miners rather than electric baseboard heaters.

And maybe even using a mining cluster as a heat source for an external combustion refrigeration system for the summer months (though the efficiencies of that would probably be hilariously bad).

Thoughts?

As a heater it would always be less efficient than a proper heating system (heatpump, or whatever else). As a novelty, fucking do it. Set up a big ass-miner and never look back. That would be the bees knees. Bonus nachos if you can get it mine a reasonable amount and effectively heat your home. That'd be the holy grail of a system like this. I would centralize the whole rig though, not miners in each room.

I have an Antminer S3 and use it also for heating. The nice thing is I can clock it up or down using as script on a computer:

ssh 192.168.178.$1 -l root ./$2

where $1 completes the internal IP address and S2 is the name of a script on the Antminer, for example the script 200:

cp /etc/config/cgminer_200Ghps /etc/config/cgminer

reboot now

You're going to be sweating money all summer.

If you want to blow money on heating just do a proper floor radiant heating system.

Having warm floors is one of the nicer things I've ever experienced in my life.
