Will it not be cheaper, doing it the normal way? Central heating is cheaper than Asic's right?
How are you going to do maintenance on these Asic's when they fail?
Post some photo's ... I'd like to see, what you talking about. {Scale}
Yes that is correct. The only way it becomes feasable is if your getting the chips for dirt cheap and even then overtime the unit will generate less and less bitcoins and eventually become worthless. Also not to mention any thing you plan to use an asic chip in needs a controller of some sorta as well as internet. Which means if your internet goes down the chips stop working. So you will need a fail safe that just generates useless work as well.
It would not be cheaper to do it the normal way. There is no normal way because this is a new product. At least
we do not manufacture anything that pushes hot air up from the ground for outdoor use. We also have miners already that we can use for this project for free. We have built a PVC pipe prototype that works but not very well. We need to replace the PVC with thin metal tubes to help heat the tiles. We would need to pay for these. We also need to pay to have the proper schematics drawn for a final product to go with various product and patent fees. Then we need to put together informational material for customers. This while we develop a software interface to monitor and adjust the temperature. We are not lawyers or designers. We will either need to find members of the community who want to help us fill the gaps in our expertise or we will look for investors to pay to have these things done correctly.
There are many obstacles to overcome but looking for ways to save money trying to do it without bitcoin miners defeats the purpose.
This is still very early in the process. I will continue to update on progress being made.
