Mine: Facts first, then context. I used to pad with backstory and lose people. Now, I lead with facts, no fear https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/f41c31bfff2c62e655b298936ca148280c1a1551f0449d7b6cb265500d5aa42c/b08aefb09a1587846e0b2aa23681cb3a575fa829aafb683c29aa268d94bd3c8c.webp
It's easy to look to the past and dwell on pain... the why, the who, where the fault lies... Self Improvement objective: Use the learnings of the past to step purposefully down the path ahead.
Bitcoin Mining Clothes Dryer

Here at the homestead we host guests at our house as well as a 20ft yurt so one of the largest power usages is the electric clothes dryer. In the busy season, the dryer is usually running for several hours a day. It made a lot of sense to use a Bitcoin miner for the heat instead of the heating element in the dryer.
I tried to use what I already had as much as possible to connect the miner to the dryer, so for less than $100 I was able to make it work. Basically needed a 20a 220v breaker and 220v outlet plus some ductwork. I simply cut a hole in the heating duct in the back of the dryer and attached a 6in duct coupling to it. If I need to I can cap off the coupling and continue to use the dryer as normal. Basically if the Bitcoin miner breaks down I won't be stranded without a dryer.
To operate, I set the dryer to timed dry, set the heat to air dry, and turn on the miner. After using it for a dozen loads or so it definitely works well. Next I will be working on how to reduce the noise from the miner fans but to start I wanted to make sure it was capable of drying laundry first. Feels good to get sats back for one one of the largest power usages on the homestead!
