RE: More great research done that shows just how much energy is used/wasted to mine BTC
There are places where bitcoin mining is used as a heat source.
Assuming a continuing demand for heat sources, I imagine the mining will accumulate there.
Yes, you are right. We can add that to BTC's side. Although there are more ways of heating more economically - like gas, thermal heat pumps, etc
Yeah, heating up with miners is not efficient at all.
I remember seeing this miner produced in Russia that also worked as a heater, haha. We need to figure out better ways.
Maybe in the future all appliances that need to produce heat of somesorts like: stove, washing machine, dishwasher, etc will have ram/chips that turn on to crunch some numbers whilst at the same time putting out the heat needed to run the appliances task. 2 for 1 i see here
