"Named after the Norse god of mischief, the Loki kit tricks Bitmain X19 miners into hashing from any suitable DC power supply"
Nice!!
Ya, could unleash lots of 110V space heater innovation. Dunno how the ROI math will work out, but def worth playing with. Should get 2-3x the hashrate w/a single s19 hashboard vs an S9 at the same power draw!
That's insane!
Looks like my sister is getting the space heater she wanted for Christmas!
How cheap rate you need to be profitable?
Looks like 9.25¢/kWh would be break even at today's price & hashrate. Home miners can't really expect a profit that way, but if you're using the heat to offset the cost of running your furnace in the winter, then the math swings much harder in your favor.
This past winter, even running old S9s were more or less break even since I didn't have to run my furnace at all which saved me something like $150-200 a month.
I can't wait to get my hands on an s19 and a few of these to play with. #plebminer
Take my sats right now.

I happen to have 220 available where I want the heat, but if you don't this is awesome.
