Heat pumps are electrically efficient at heating compared to resistive heaters but the larger the temperature difference the harder they have to work. Sure you could put some #bitcoin miners in a room with the heat pumps but arguably the ASIC #bitcoin miner could BE the evaporator on the heat pump…..!

Anyone mind giving me a #zap to test my link?
Is anyone directly integrating #bitcoin mining into heat pump evaporators?
#bitcoin mining under a vacuum.
Water boils at 104F/40C when under a vacuum down to 1psi. So any particular part of the #bitcoin miner that’s hotter that this the water will boil and turn to vapour travel up and away and be immediately replaced by more less than 104F/40C water. The vapour rises and as long as there’s a heat exchanger up top that’s cooler the water will re-condense and so the process repeats.
Can someone point me to some info on correctly setting up a #lightning LnURL if your running a #umbrel ?
Has anyone put an immersion #bitcoin miner on under a vacuum to see if the heat removal is more efficient?
