🌡️ What if your radiator gave you Bitcoin... while heating your home?
Some households, particularly in the United States, have been won over by this concept, which is starting to catch on in France.
They use devices that combine heating and Bitcoin mining.
The idea is simple: the heat produced by the mining process is used to heat the home, making heating less expensive while "generating" cryptocurrencies.
Other radiators use surplus electricity from private individuals. Since EDF reduced its electricity buyback price, it has "become more attractive to mine in France than to resell electricity."
But the reality is that mining consumes a lot of energy, much more than a traditional radiator.
The installation must operate continuously to achieve minimum profitability, resulting in high electricity consumption.
