Yep. Totally get it. I’m working on transitioning my house from oil heat. I want to go the btc miner route for heat. Just looking at costs and options. I know it won’t be cheap to get started. But I might as well get bitcoin if I’m going to heat the place anyway.

I got some experience hobby mining and learning along the way. The big (mostly mental) hurdle was the upfront costs. I did a lot of research. There are great examples like 256heat.com and reviewers like Red Panda Mining who do a good job of measuring and testing. I used grok a lot to compare and calculate ROI. The cost of this miner is not cheap - about equal to used miners tuned and modded for home use. It comes ready to go. I found some 3D shrouds I like for it to tie directly into the HVAC. I’ll automate it with Home Assistant along with the fan - and it’ll be controlled by the thermostat.
