[2017-11-02] Siberians Use Cryptocurrency Miners to Heat Homes

[Taki]

I do not believe in Siberia that houses can heat up with mining, there are devices that provide very little heat. You can not heat up with these devices. You need at least 30 GPUs to heat a 5 square meter room.

You must be don't know how much heat a mining farm produces and how stein cooling system it needs for it's work. I am a fan of recicling and even those heat is enough to give heat in some children garden or a hospital there I think it is genios.

No you are clearly exaggerating. I have the installation of the 6 GPU. It is enough to heat a room 40 square meters in any weather. But is in this room will be difficult because the fan noise creates discomfort. But distribute the heat throughout the house will be difficult. Ventilation can consume more energy than heating.

It's Siberia, there is not much need for cooling in the summer...

But I don't see how that's newsworthy, I bet half of the mine-at-home miners here have been heating their homes with miners for a while  Building a house based on that concept is interesting, though...

glad to have that they come up with that idea, it is serve as a dual purpose, one is to heat the house and while the other is income generating machine both process are correlated. But my question is how do they control the heat when the summer come and how many gpu does it need to heat the entire home. it is a good modeling concept that need to be followed by other european region where climate where extreme and imbalance.
