Show HN: I build a Bitcoin heater to keep my Nana warm
- mdrzn 5y agoVery interesting project! I'm interested to see a writeup of how it's performing in like 6 months.
- quickthrower2 5y agoGood use if energy? Not really. While better than mining and wasting the heat, it would be more energy efficient to use heat pumps and more insulation. Just less profitable.
- jhylands 5y agoSo insulation wise, the house is a listed cottage so there isn’t much more that can be done to insulate it. As a thatched cottage you can’t put solar heat pumps on it so the only option is ground source heats pumps which would cost £30000 which is just unaffordable.
- quickthrower2 5y agoBy heat pump i meant an air conditioner in reverse. this should be possible without a permanent installation affecting the cottage.
