Yup, this is another get rich quick scam. Nice try but better luck next time.

The only valuable bits are bitcoin bits! Everyone knows that, huh?

I will buy all you've got for .003 BTC per IXcoin.

The issue with using a heat pump for your winter heating is that the cold outside air has very little heat that can be pulled out of it. The colder it get's outside, the less efficient the device becomes.

Indeed. But even in the worst case such a device is still more efficient than resistive heating.  This of course only applies to air-source heat pumps. Water-source are dependent only on the temperature of the water supply which stays relatively consistent year round.

Now if you were to get a window air conditioner (heat pump) and put it in the window backwards then you might put 1000W of electricity in and get 2000W or more of heat out. But a window AC won't come on once the outside temperature falls below a certain point.

With this and your BTC guild posts, we can safely conclude you really are mad Cheesy


So stealing, people conspiring, air conditioners and heat pumps don't exist?

All these exists... just not an air conditioner that outputs 2000W or more with an input energy of 1000W in a room with a sub 500W mining machine. Cheesy

Especially not when it is installed backwards with the radiator facing the inside of the room and the air vents facing outdoors during winter.

Of course I'm not a HVAC expert so feel free to illustrate technically how your perpetual motion aircon setup works Cheesy


An air conditioner most definitely CAN output more heat than the power it consumes if placed in a window "backwards".  It's called a heat pump, and it gives you more heat than just using that same electricity to make heat. Good heat pumps can have a COP (coefficient of performance) of over 6! So every watt it uses concentrates 6 watts of heat from one place and moves it to another.  The highest I've seen is 7-something, which blows my mind.

MY mining machine used around 300W, My small fan heater uses around 190W and puts out 3X as much heat 5X faster. My oil heater uses 80W takes a hour to get up to the same temp but once its there it turns off and on saving power.

Nope. Try again

They should be sending out free prototype chips like other companies which develop new technologies do!

LOL, that'll be the day.  Try-before-you-buy dedicated mining hardware.

Bitcoin intergration with google wallet/checkout would be HUGE!

But I wouldn't hold my breath.  Think you can squeeze any more details out of the guy?
