Oh, I got thousand of ideas :) But the one that I would love to work on but just don't have enough time right now: Creating Cold through Absorption Chilling. Basically converting Heat back into Cold, which would allow a bitcoin miner not only to heat a house, but also cool it. The technology is used already by Data Centers (massive scale) and RV-fridges running on Propane (small scale). However the heat that is generated by current Bitcoin miners is not hot enough for the existing absorption chillers. So we either need to: A) Figure out how to make the water that comes of from bitcoin miners hotter B) Engineer an absorption chiller that can work with 80C water coming from the miners. Probably in the end we will need to do both. But if we do, then we can basically replace any heat and cold source for houses and building by bitcoin miners.
