Bitcoin Space Heater V3 Now Available DIY Guide Discussion

Bitcoin Space Heater V3 just dropped! Finally, a DIY open-source way to heat your space. Check out the 32-page guide and all the files right here. It's pretty cool, right?

Is it just me or is this mainly for looks? Seems like just a fancy plastic box for the Antminer S9? Where's the heat efficiency in that?

Honestly, wouldn’t a single board miner like the m50 be a better choice? Less hassle and more efficient, right?

Did you even check out the guide? LOL

Nope, didn't have time for that. And honestly, I'm wary about downloading random zip files from the internet. Mind giving a quick rundown?

But seriously, a post that says 'just download and look at this'? How is that cool? A lot of folks know better than to do that. Yet, viruses are still a thing.

By the way, S19s are pretty cheap now. The control board can handle 12 volts, which could be great for a heater project. You'd use way less power than the S9.

*Leans in and listens*

I feel like using an S9 for heating is a waste now. It's not going to save you on bills, especially with how much power it burns. What are we really getting out of this?

I just got more L7s, those are where the real value is right now. They’re efficient and bring in decent profits, especially in winter.

Yeah but at what cost? S19xp will eat power and might lose you money. You just need to be smart about how you set it up.

Is this really just a fun DIY project? Seems like people just end up spending a ton of cash to make things themselves that don’t really save money. But hey, some find it fun!

Exactly. The S19xp can save on the heating bill, but it also burns through a lot. You might lose $30 mining, but still save on heat.

Lol, have you seen this $1 toy? It's supposed to help relieve stress, but not really useful when you're freezing, huh?

Well, some folks like me spent way too much during the pandemic, and now I'm left with damage. I just want a perfect spot with cheap energy to make this work.

Remember, miners spend time in the mines when power is cheap. I’m running an L3 now, but I lose money on it. It does help heat my place, though.
