It is the policy of Softwarm LLC that Bitcoin heating systems are the only type we will install and manage. Owners of mining equipment can obviously do whatever they want on their own accord. We just don't want to be involved.

Update on the Bitcoin miner heated car wash:. It still works. ROI was reached last year.
The local #Bitcoin #carwash is where I like to go. Check out this @FogHashing B6 running at 20kw (68k BTU) with some ASICs from @kaboomracks. Propane bill slayer 2.0. The manifold connects to a hydronic snow melt system. Previous propane expense of $25 per day is now $24 profit.

For those with questions about ROI on a Bitcoin hashrate heater.
@SoftwarmLLC Setup: 6 S19j Pros (600 TH/s, 18.3 kW) at $0.06/kWh, CAPEX $7k. Daily revenue ~$34.50 (at $114k BTC, 900 EH/s net). Daily cost $26.35. Central Idaho mountains: ~270 heating days/yr (based on ~9k HDD). Annual net: $12,603 revenue - $2,503 non-heating cost + ~$2,405 tax savings.

@grok analyze this post thread and calculate the following:. 1. Explain the ROI for a total CAPEX of $7,000 using 6 S19j Pros if they are constantly operated at rated power in an immersion tank strictly to replace water and room heat. The house is 3000 sq feet with a hydronic.

The economic incentives generated with Bitcoin mining create more energy generation sources. Energy is essentially unlimited for mankind if you don't act like a defeatist cuck. @grok what do you think?.

I use a few different vendors for parts, but basically everything is off the shelf and works well together if you size it right. We sell immersion mining kits and will consult with you to assist design. Just comment in the thread and we can set up some DM. Here are my.

Mining for heat will result in the fastest ROI. When heat is required, and electrical is the most cost effective way to heat, mining Bitcoin instead of operating a resistive heater will always be more cost effective. A 200T S21 produces 12k BTU/hr and $330 per month in gross

Support components are powered with a separate strip I got from @altair_tech that measures power draw and includes a kW/hr meter. This way we can keep track of the cost of running the fluid pump, fan, network switch, or any other related things.

Mining with electric resistive heat is 100% efficient. Bitcoin miners are this type of heat. A resistive heat "dumb" boiler will produce the exact same amount of BTU per kW/hr consumed as a Bitcoin miner. Therefore, Bitcoin miners are 100% efficient at turning electricity into

The Bitcoin miners are turned down to an efficient chip temperature target and still easily heating the glycol. Right now we are using 10kW and the tank fluid temp is solid at 35C. The heat is going to all 5 zones and about 3000 ft^2, and because it is summer time, we are using

In the summer time, we can dump the heat outside and keep mining for profit. After the heat exchanger, the fluid continues on its loop through an exterior dry cooler. It has a temperature control so that the fans modulate to maintain a fluid circuit temperature. This allows the

The computers are totally submersed in non-toxic dielectric fluid (does not conduct electricity). The fluid captures heat from the computers and is pumped first through a heat exchanger. The glycol/water mix that transmits heat through the house is warmed in the heat exchanger.

Bitcoin mining as a source of heat is reality. It is comfortable and easy to install. This is a @foghashing Bitcoin boiler for 6 machines running on Braiins OS rated for 24kW or 81,000 BTU/hr, which will generate approximately $33 to $66 per day worth of Bitcoin depending on the

Ill believe it when the network hashrate drops.
BREAKING: China has officially banned cryptocurrency trading, mining, and related services.

This is a great system for aircraft hangars or swimming pools.
Firing up 22 S21 200T machines in a @FogHashing B24 with a massive brazed plate HX we can use for heat distribution. Sell the heat.

Tomorrow we are commissioning a 1.2Ph / 22kW / 75,000 BTU water heater. At today's rates it will produce $70 per day worth of Bitcoin and cost $30 per day in electricity. This eliminates the owner's propane bill. Totally.

Today we passed the HVAC and Electrical rough-in inspections for this Bitcoin heated project house. We are on track to have this remodel done and fully permitted with integrated central Bitcoin powered, silent heating system for this winter.
This is one of the heat dump circuits for a central Bitcoin powered hydronic heating system. It's an underground propane tank heater to enable use of more propane when it gets low and cold, and the rock wall will be a heated raised bed garden on the other side. This is about

Real estate is energy infrastructure.
An interesting comment from a Former $META employee. ENERGY is the biggest bottleneck right now. Even if $META wants to spend $100-$150B on CapEx for AI infrastructure, they can't. It is not just $NVDA. Transformers, power equipment, cooling equipment, and the availability of

What if you could solo mine Bitcoin at no cost?. If you use Bitcoin miners strictly to replace existing heat usage sunk costs, you can. There is no effective cost to mine, only to heat. You can revert back to your "dumb" electric/propane heater at any time and spend the same.
