Unfortunately the laws of thermodynamics will get in the way. Cannabis farming uses electricity to build organic chemicals and outputs waste heat at 40°C; bitcoin mining uses electricity to solve equations and outputs waste heat at 40°C. There's not really any way to use the waste products of one as an input to the other.
- Havoc 5y agoResidential heating would work
- darkcha0s 5y agoJust scalp enough 3090's with RGB lighting and you might just have enough light/wattage to grow
- FredPret 5y agoA CPU/ASIC can be seen as an electrical heater with extra steps. So why not heat up your plants with your CPU. The energy flow is: power plant -> CPU -> greenhouse -> the atmosphere
- sashimi-houdini 5y agoBecause plants don't grow from heat, but from light
- rtkwe 5y agoI remember seeing some talk about a company creating ASIC blocks to heat houses but grows afaik don't generally need more heat the lights and everything creates enough heat for the plants.
- Apfel 5y agoDepends on both local climate and lighting method. LEDs output very little heat nowadays
- rightbyte 5y agoA heat pump is preferable.
- de6u99er 5y agoCannabis farming would be much easier and cost effective if it could be done out in the open.
- elif 5y agoWinter greenhouse farming.
