To be honest with you, the heating element has been the part that didn’t really meet my expectations. If you’re used to the blazing heat of an industrial miner, this is WAY more mild. It definitely pumps out heat, but you may either want to get her a couple or just use one of the crypto cloaks conversion kits for an old Bitmain model.
Yes I want only for heating a single room.
So you think and old S9 with a nice box will be much better?

I just ran this by my wife, who has one in her sewing room, and she says a single Nano 3 is warm enough if the primary concern is keeping her feet warm under the desk.

It would be significantly warmer. I have an s9 without the box in my garage. It’s ugly and loud as hell, but that makes sense in that environment. I’ve never used the ones that use the crypto cloak thing, but if they aren’t under locked, they should be really warm.
Maybe the best bet is three or four Nano 3s? The upfront cost would be more, but you’d actually have enough hash and efficient enough hash that it’d start paying it off and heating her room for free.

Sincerely I am not interested in a ROI or to balance the cost of electricity with the earning sats.
I am more interested in warming my wife feet 😂😂😂 so she can shut up, meanwhile I am paying the same money for heating I am paying now.
As far I can see and calculated, I would pay around 10k-12k sats/month just to warm wife feet. So with a 4T hash rate I could make like 7-8k sats/month. It means I still have to put from my own pocket 2-5k sats/mo.
Keeping in mind that right now I am paying the same 10-12k sats/mo but nothing in return.
Am I right with my assumptions?
reply
Yeah, I think you are.
