What if he added previous generation crypto miner (so it's cheap) and use the excess electricity instead of selling it to the grid? This could also save some money on heating in winter unless he has a heat pump priced in already.
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoprev gen crypto mining is phenomenally inefficient in terms of energy that ends up being converted to heat, but it is absolutely not what you would use to take electricity and create heat given any other choices.
- scotty79 2y agoWhat are other choices? Heat pump is obviously the best but any other thing is just electric heater with 100% efficiently of heat generation. Pushing some bits around doesn't change that. I guess for some applications you might prefer higher temperatures but for residential heating crypto mining is as good as anything else, right?
