Yep. Totally get it. I’m working on transitioning my house from oil heat. I want to go the btc miner route for heat. Just looking at costs and options. I know it won’t be cheap to get started. But I might as well get bitcoin if I’m going to heat the place anyway.
Discussion
I got some experience hobby mining and learning along the way.
The big (mostly mental) hurdle was the upfront costs. I did a lot of research.
There are great examples like 256heat.com and reviewers like Red Panda Mining who do a good job of measuring and testing.
I used grok a lot to compare and calculate ROI.
The cost of this miner is not cheap - about equal to used miners tuned and modded for home use.
It comes ready to go.
I found some 3D shrouds I like for it to tie directly into the HVAC.
I’ll automate it with Home Assistant along with the fan - and it’ll be controlled by the thermostat.
