Hugging my mom.. That keeps me warm.
Here I was thinking this forum is mostly for adults.  Roll Eyes
Real men hug their moms.
I hug my mom all the time. I don't snuggle up with her to keep warm. I have a wife.
Rather than put on my 2KWH heater, I will have some mining equipment around the house, Why not earn as I burn?

I cant sleep in alot of noise, I was wondering what I could use in/near the bedroom for heat?

The older KNC units were fairly quiet, 700W for 500GHs is not bad, and they are cheap now.

Whats the quietest miner you can think of?

Have you ever thought about ear plugs?  You can buy ones that are specifically meant for sleeping with.  i have the same issue as you, I can hear the damn clock ticking in the next room some nights.

I decided to try a pair of disposable ones to see if they would annoy me, and I was shocked at how noticeable they weren't, so I purchased some quality sleeping ones.  They are extremely comfortable, can't even really feel them.  The only problem I've found is that I have even more trouble sleeping without them.  Also, there is sleeping through the alarm.  But a vibrating alarm on the cell phone took care of that.

I have baseboard heating in my room and they are extremely quiet except for the odd click.
How do you expect to hear the smoke alarm if it happens to go off, or a window breaking and a burglar or an animal is ransacking your house? With enough miners you can heat your whole house and if you keep them in the basement you'll never hear 'em.

In summary, the Intel Management Engine and its applications are a backdoor with total access to and control over the rest of the PC. The ME is a threat to freedom, security, and privacy, and the libreboot project strongly recommends avoiding it entirely. Since recent versions of it can’t be removed, this means avoiding all recent generations of Intel hardware. details https://libreboot.org/faq.html#intelme --- https://tehnoetic.com/laptops --- https://store.vikings.net/x200-ryf-certfied

I use these:

They keep hands warm for hours. Don't know if you can get them in other countries though.

Heh, I'm selling those: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/hab/4710479477.html

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

I wondered that myself so I tested it.  You can definitely still hear the smoke alarm if it goes off, plus I have a dog that goes absolutely ape shit when it goes off.  As for the window breaking the dog has that covered as well. They don't block out everything but they do take out a lot of the low level noise that keeps me awake at night.  It isn't a perfect solution, but I sleep a lot better at night when I wear them.
