Might be time to swap out the S9 or buy one of these for my upstairs

Do the math, I guess. Hard to beat a paid for machine.
I think it’s a good move, esp if you need the heat.
This product is built well, it’s very quiet and it’s putting out serious heat.
I would like to see a bitcoin furnace from Canaan. 🤔
This is the best heater miner I’ve seen so far.
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.
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.
