I'm planning on making more videos, water heating is definitely a place where Bitcoin mining can shine. Hopefully new open source hardware like the ember1 hashboard will make the heat use cases more accessible.

I'm watching this space carefully too. Every heating project I look at one of the bigger challenges is finding a way to hit my desired BTU output.
Right now your easily available options are 30w from a bitaxe then nothing until 600w from a single s19 board.
S9 boards are 100w to 500w a piece but their TH output is so low you'll never cover costs so they are only good for prototypes and proof of concepts.
Stuff like the nerdqaxe++ and other open source multi chip hashboards that fill that W gap at a modern w/th are needed to go wider with using mining waste heat.
Exactly, there's not much available that's efficient and cost effective below 600w
