If you knew its simple to start mining bitcoin and use the heat silently to heat your home, would you do it?
I started the journey thinking its very complicated but I see its mostly about the resources available. The difficult part was gathering all the information for every step.
I am working on a guide for bitcoiners that are feeling the call to start mining but dont know how, and working on a few systems for heating with old asics. When I succeed I plan to share a guide for that as well.
So, if you had a simple written guide to follow step by step - would you start mining bitcoin at home (for those of you that arent already doing so...) ?
My hope is that many people will contribute hash power, secure the network all while heating their homes and pools (hot tubs, saunas, shower water, food dehydrator etc etc) & earn sats.
Peace

I want to see a modular rig for all the heating a house needs with possibility to install a miner of choice.

It's hard to think that even just six months ago the Black Box and such weren't even shipping yet. Prior to these components existing, mining at home was essentially only possible where the sound would not be an interference. This winter (in North America) mining for heat will likely start to become a thing more and more techies and such will be doing it for the first time.

Yes it will be an interesting winter.

If I didn't live in Miami. I see a lot of potential for using mining to heat homes, but more specifically water.

Yep there are bitcoin boilers

Exactly, South FL is way too hot and humid for this but I could see a high potential/benefits for people who live in cooler climates. A guide to newbies and some of us in the space would definitely help though!!
