4 days ago I finally got one of my #Bitcoin  miners hooked into my home ducting system.

I’ve been heating my house & earning some delicious sats at the same time. Haven’t needed the space heaters or the fireplace. All night with just the miner. https://v.nostr.build/VWP7.mp4

Dude that rocks. Great setup. Im loving this

Noise suppression with the grow house fan. 🤌

🔥

Interesting!! Can you estimate savings on your energy bill? What would be profit/loss???

Going to need a few months to make that comparison, but I plan to do some math on it and publish.

Look forward to reading about the whole experience. Looks badass.

Nice

I do the same but for my shop….💪

In-line fan strength with an airtight duct system for the win.

#plebchain heating 😂

Drawing air from return air? Then out to a dedicated air vent?

Looks good!

Actually the opposite. I’m pulling from a new return and pumping it into the main ducting.

Nice work, and good choice. Whatsminer produce more heat than Bitmain!!

What's the plan for summer? Kill it? Vent outside?

Just turn it off. I’m using it for heat and this setup is about $4,000 cheaper than replacing my broken heating unit. So it doesn’t matter if I’m not running it because it’s hot. I only use it for heat… the sats are just a bonus.

Did you asbestos test ser? 😀

Considering the amount of C02 Bitcoin produces I would be very careful with this setup.

🤣🤣🤣

How's the noise? Is this in your main house you live in or another building like a shop?

Main house. I removed the stock fans, the AC Infinity fan is pretty quiet and can only be heard in the laundry room where I added the new return. I’ve not really done anything to dampen the noise though and I think I can make it essentially no more obvious than the normal house fan.

Living the dream ser 🤩

LFG. I'm running a S9 which replaces a resistive heater.

inspiring! this is exactly what I’d like to do. being totally new in mining, I have two questions:

1. how do you manage noise?

2. where to start to understand which machine to buy?

thanks a lot!

A filter upstream from it might help keep it free of dust.
