I hope you do something as disruptive with the silicon rather than just compete in the same product range; turn the heat generation problem to an asset and heat homes, water etc...hillbilly installations exist, no proper products. I'd buy in a sec.

Data centers as radiators. Efficient or just hot air?

An ASIC converts electricity to two things; sha256 hashrate and heat. The hashrate is used but hardly economical where I live (Nordics) on its own. However, my point is that the heat can be utilized and offset the cost. An ASIC mineraloil cooling loop can be connected to a separate water based heating system-loop via an heat exchanger. So you get a SHA256 to sell to compensate the electricity you would need to heat the water anyway. Even with inefficient miners you can profit when accounting for heating costs offset. There are examples on youtube with DIY setups - but no proper product where this is built as a home heating system based on heating by a sha256 ASICs...that's is what I want and even non-bitcoiners would love to save 50-90% on heating costs.

#bitcoin heating is the biggest unexplored product opportunity for #ASICs. I would love to heat with a side of hash!
