It is impossible to heat the entire house with mining coins. This may give some savings, but I think that is a very small amount in order to have significant value. It seems to me that the noise from the fans on the towers will create discomfort in the house. Especially at night when the house is quiet.

The idea is very relevant and attractive. Especially in areas with a cold climate and relatively cheap electricity.

I will heat my house fully with cards, Im starting with 2*1070 + 1080ti in one room (its around 650W) and will end first "epizode" with 18 cards in somewhere center of my housw and opened doors (it will have like 4-5kW). Its nice to use electricity to something usefull and only dont waste it or gas...

Amd cards will heat your house a bit more than nvidia. Corect me if I'm wrong   Smiley

Nowhere near impossible, there are myriad ways you can do it. For example, using S5s with low noise fan replacements as space heaters in each room. Keeping miners in your basement or attic and ducting the heat into the house or heating ducts, etc. I heat my entire house with miners and the noise level isn't much more than fans running in the summertime.

You are not. I just set up my first AMD rigs (I have two Nvidias already) and damn if overheating isn't an issue in the rackmount case, I have to run it with the lid off (and that is with it taking in air directly from outside AND mining crytponight)!

What should not be done in mining the living room or room that is occupied by us every day and every time, because the heat and radiation generated will be very influential.

You are right. Mining hardware in living room is bad idea. For heating a house by miner should create the system of passive radiators connected to common heating boiler. For regulation of the temperarute and separate contour of miners and heating radiators the boiler of indirect heating could be used

The idea is very urgent, in my country it's winter right now. In countries with a cold climate, governments should seriously consider this idea.

I am still yet to see a single piece of scientific proof of this.

Works great in northern Michigan heating a single-wide trailer with 32x 1060s. That's 4 rigs of 8 cards, one in each end bedroom, one in the livingroom and one on top of the fridge. When it dropped to 5F outside it was still 70F inside with the furnace off.

The air is a little dry, probably should pick up a humidifier for the bedroom.

Just boil water on the stove

Scientifically we do not know that the heat released form this mines are good for the body or not. So it may cause some health problem if you continuously stay in those mining generated heats. Also the noise would be a disturbing factor and it would definitely be a problem for the house and then nearby people living in your neighbors especially during the night times when their is complete silence and even a drop of pin may sound loud.

It's just perfect. I also want to have such heaters at home. The cost of electricity is the same, but the farm for mining gives extra money. This is relevant because we have winter lasts 8 meat.

Where do you live? At the North Pole? I'd rather have shot myself than live like this

Hot water preparation and heating miners are produced in Ukraine.


http://en.hotmine.io/

Mining in Ukraine seems to be a risky business these days... https://bitcoinschannel.com/national-bank-of-ukraine-struggles-to-clarify-bitcoins-legal-status-as-mining-farms-in-kyiv-raided-by-police/

Illegally stealing public utilities and housing it in a public swimming poo, then obvious money laundering, seems a bit risky, I don't think mining itself was the problem there...

I heat my house with my units.

I'll do a review in a couple weeks when I clean it up.

Basically I about 5Kw in my furnace room which is in a finished basement. I have vents from the finished part into the furnace room and my cold air return only pulls from that room. The basement staircase is a finished open staircase so cold air from the house returns that way.

An interesting idea, depending on the amount of machines you have available, of course to do this you would have to put together a strategy where the machines would stay in a specific point of the house exuding heat and when it was not necessary you could put together a form of this heat to be dissipated out of your house (which would avoid in hot times of the year your house get very hot), with something like this I believe it could work.
