.The most promising approach involves integrating ASIC heat with low-temperature Multi-Effect Distillation (MED) systems. These systems use the captured heat to evaporate seawater in the first effect, with subsequent effects operating at progressively lower pressures and temperatures. The vapour from each effect condenses to provide heat for the next stage, creating a highly efficient cascade process.
Good to see some information on this idea. Scaling desalination with Bitcoin has so much potential. We could easily grow a few hundred million bitcoiners in Australia with it.

It’d be interesting to know if heating water is cheaper right now than running a Bitcoin mining operation. I think that’s the real deciding factor.

It's cheaper to purify sewage than to purify seawater, so desalination is really only relevant in places without plumbing infrastructure... and even there it's the wrong approach.
