    Regular electric heaters kinda suck, though. Heat pumps are 3-5x as efficient (they can go above 100% because they move heat rather than creating it) and natural gas is often cheaper per BTU.

    I’m not saying that mining crypto in the winter is bad, just that it isn’t necessarily completely “free” if your regular heater is something other than electric resistance.

      I’ll solder on a pipe onto my CPU air cooler and place the other end in my bed. That way, I’ll get crypto warmth :) just need a way to insulate the pipe…
