It is not recommended to build mining farms to heat the house as the air is not the best of quality.
Could you elaborate on this one? What does it mean it is not best quality?

I have thinking about this idea. I have only my apartment, but here is a balkony that I can use as a place to working of my miner. So my balcony will be warm I have thought too. But only it is about my garage I dont't think this is so good idea/ Because most likely a garage doesn't have good internet provision. So this is an additional problem and additional costs Yes, I agree. The state of a garage can not ideally match the work of a miner. wearout of you machine will be more and the risk of his work more in this room

I have recently found some curious news saying that 2 Russian guys have created a unique system for heating houses — their devices operate on the basis of mining farms. This stuff can also mine BTC. Curious if the other countries will follow their unique experience?
There is always so cold in russia, it's very effective way but gas isn't expensive there because russia has gasprom and they have great natural resources. One my friend with really many miner heats water and has something like central heating with it, so there is no need to have heat machines in rooms. But if I were you, I would do it if I live alone, it's not nice but depends on how creatively you will do this project.

I have a vent hood with 400 cfm of flow over my 12 card rig, planning on piping it into the return on my furnace. Hopefully the humidity will be ok with the whole house humidifier.

I have a 100 square meter apartment with 3 rooms. I have 3 rigs just in one room with an opened window. Outside is 7 degrees. I open the door of room with rig and it is heating my apartment so I do not need any heating Good deal for the winter.

I somehow don't see it in real life. In theory it looks awesome, but what if gpus get unstable, what if you have to take it out, send to warranty etc. Eehhhm Antminer S5? Hmm

Good luck. They don't seem to be set up for individual sales (based on numerous attempts to buy from them). EDIT: heard back from them today. They are currently not shipping to the US. Europeans and Russians may have better luck though.

I posted this in another thread, but we may be able to put together a large enough order to make shipping to the US worthwhile. PM me if interested. EDIT TO ADD: I made a thread in the marketplace section to discuss/plan if we get enough folks. Seems the consensus is that a 10 piece minimum will likely be required.

wow, if this could only be applied to rigs and connect it with a house heating.

In fact, it's a brilliant idea. Imagine a house that brings money, which is enough for utility payments. And, in addition, the heat from the extraction is not lost, it goes for heating. I think that these houses will be very relevant in the northern regions and mountains.

It is possible, you can at least cut down the costs of heating, by allocating heat from the farm. What people just do not come up with

I'm thinking about the same idea. Only not in Siberia. There's little sun

Good idea for the winter season. Especially if you have electrical heating devices to heat the house then this will be a good alternative.

Just in Siberia, this system and you need to apply. There she will be very in demand.

Computing hardware is just about as efficient as Electric space heaters watt for watt.
So it would be extremely beneficial to bring some of your miners inside during cold weather.
A 1000w rig will heat a room similar to a 1000w space heater.

Well the idea is good. Getting profits from heating. The problem that comes to mind is how to regulate the amount of heat. If you want less you gotta turn miners of, which is never a good idea
