In order to efficiently mine crypto-currency takes a lot of GPU or specialized ASIC devices that will work tirelessly, consuming energy and releasing a lot of heat. It is this quality of such equipment might come in handy in cold regions with harsh climate, — says Dmitry Tolmachov from Siberia, who is engaged in construction of houses and heating offers to put the miners connected to the heating system.
The idea is simple: generated by hashing the heat coming from the electronic components, heats the liquid which then flows through pipes to all areas and heats them.

“Now people gather in large farms for mining cryptocurrency that warm atmosphere. And we say that it is not necessary to heat the atmosphere, think about the environment, need to heat their homes. In Siberia the first 9 months of the heating season. You do not need to collect all these mining devices in one place. On the contrary we need to distribute them for private households. Technologies today allow”, – says Dmitry.
To demonstrate the advantages of such heaters, Dmitry built a small demonstration house, inside which are placed the two farms that produce about $ 430 per month, simultaneously heating the room. The businessman hopes that this method seems interesting for future customers, usually because the heating does not generate revenue, and even Vice versa.
