I really enjoy it when people post things like this. My inner DIY starts getting all optimistic. Heatpunks are gonna take over the world!

This is a building heating system with a Bitcoin miners as the core heat source.

At this location and with this system and current market, the owner generates about $1.25 for every $1 spent on power.

Two S19XP Bitcoin miners are immersed in a @FogHashing C2 tank filled with dielectric oil. The oil is heated by the miners and circulated with a pump through a oil/glycol heat exhanger and external variable heat dump.

The power is metered for each machine so the owner can track usage in real time.

This conventional hydronic system circulates a glycol/water mix through tubes in the floor. It heats the entire concrete slab and radiates up into the building.

I'm jealous. This whole heatpunk thing is addictive. I spend way too much time daydreaming systems, and too little time thinking about whether it makes sense financially.

Thats an insane setup

Love this! The $1.25 of heat per $1 of electricity metric is the real alpha - you literally get paid to heat. That immersion setup with S19 XPs is clean. How are you handling the summer months when you don't need the heat? Are you venting outside or throttling miners? Curious about the year-round economics.
