Every time a heater gets shipped, there’s a feeling of pride, and also some anxiety! Proud that another Bitcoiner will access and contribute to the network effortlessly. Anxious that the carrier will not damage it or it get stuck at the border. This heater is heading to

Every Satoshi heater comes with a controller that allows plug and play operation. Perfect for mass adoption of Bitcoin heating in all homes.

It’s been a while since the last update, but it doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting idle. We tested many applications so far: floor heating up to 6000sqft, pools, hot tubs, driveway. Any a few more applications underway. Our software is getting better, that means Bitcoin mining

Took a break of social media for the last couple of months, felt like I had to disconnect for a while. Now getting ready for the second day of the @CdnBitcoinConf, come see us and see how you can heat your home with Bitcoin

Sometimes it’s fun to pause the development for a couple of days to meet people who share the same vision about Bitcoin and are just as much committed about heat reuse. @alex_heatbit and I seem to disagree about where Bitcoin heating will be in 5 years. Of course I think there
If you missed our mining heat reuse panel at this year's Bitcoin Conference in Vegas, make sure to check it out below! Bullish on what we're all working on 🔥 @alex_heatbit @BTC_Grid @Schnitzel @TronMonGone Thank you to @TheBitcoinConf for having us!

In a few days I’ll have a discussion on heat reuse with amazing builders in the Bitcoin space. My take on this is I believe there is still a lot of value to extract from home Bitcoin mining. Through decentralization, we can find ways to unite, build a hashing Constellation and
What are now seen as "creative strategies" to mine at home - may very well become the status quo of what it means to mine bitcoin. Learn how heat reuse will bring hashrate back home at the panel I'm hosting in Vegas! @TheBitcoinConf

In honor of Earth Day, today’s @LeatherBTC Lounge explores one of the most misunderstood aspects of Bitcoin: its relationship with energy and the environment. The mainstream narrative often stops at the idea that Bitcoin consumes a lot of energy. What’s often missed is the
This Earth Day, we’re highlighting how Bitcoin mining is good for the planet. 🌎 On the next Leather Lounge, we’re joined by Josh Phelps & Mark Smith of Carbon Country to explore how Bitcoin mining + solar farming can: 🌱 Regenerate land 🚜 Save small farms ⚡ Scale green energy

I’ve always been a fan of @BikesandBitcoin and his unique way of explaining what is Bitcoin mining. He’s one of the first Bitcoiner I started following when I joined X a few years ago. I had the chance to be in the audience for his opening speech, which was relevant even for a
It was a privilege to give the introductory talk for the first Heatpunk Summit at @SpaceDenver on the topic of a 'model' for mining Bitcoin. The quality of conversation and attendee was unbelievable.

I tagged the wrong account for Idaho Heat & Air 🤦♂️ , if you have a geothermal or HVAC project in Idaho, reach out to Brian or Jason @IdahoHeatAndAir
Heating 6000sqft of radiant floors with bitcoin is possible! Thanks to @idahoheatair who had an open mind & was willing to innovate by integrating Constellation’s heater into their design. This is a unique and quite sophisticated system, you won’t find anything like this.

Recap of two days at #Heatpunk Summit at @SpaceDenver: 1. Beautifully organized, thanks to @tylerkstevens and @86codyharris and all the helpers of @SpaceDenver 2. Lots of great heat system builders under one roof like @BTC_Grid @CryoByteLabs @256heat @TronMonGone @HashrateHouse
The highest density of DIY #bitcoin heaters I have ever seen, at the #heatpunk Summit at @SpaceDenver. Most of them were running and super quiet 🤯. The future of bitcoin home heating is going to be epic.

We just installed 2x 12kW heaters of Bitcoin heating in Idaho! Pretty impressive project. One heater is fully dedicated to snow melting in winter and pool heating in summer. The snow melting slab is ~1500sqft. We started it yesterday, it was 34f during daytime and pretty cold at
It’s been a huge week for Constellation! Went on a roadtrip to help some customers start their system. I think this is the part I like the most. I’ll post more details soon, but here’s a 12kW heater dedicated to snow melting! https://t.co/nJubpogUFj

Last few days were quite busy. I cleared most of the US order backlog so we make sure we’re not hit by the upcoming import tariffs!! Still not sure to this day if my heaters will be impacted. 3 pool heaters leaving today, 12 have been shipped so far. It’s exciting to see what
