Life long upstate and downstate New Yorker here. Our winters are long and cold, and you'd think we'd want to make proof of work home heaters instead of banning the stuff outright. Seems like a missed opportunity to make home heating cost neutral.
- ilyt 4y agoCost neutral to user maybe but still wasting power... typical crypto short-sighteness. Install a heat pump instead, you will save both power and money on heating.
- asow92 4y agoWell, my furnace is wasting potential energy as we speak, and it isn't making me any money. I don't have enough money for a down payment on a new heat pump system... but I might over time if I could offset heating bill with a BTC miner. It's definitely not a waste if my family is warm and my wallet isn't hurting.
