Do Crypto People use their GPU generated heat as heater assuming they lives in a place that requires heating anyway?
Doesn't that equate to free money assuming they could actually mine crypto?
Gas is somewhere around half the cost of electricity. Back in the day, you would still profit with a GPU.
Some people use electric heating even without crypto so using GPUs to mine crypto to get the same effect is a no brainer.
Problem is that during the summer you have to get rid of the excess heat, so you need air conditioning or perhaps open air cooling.
Not gonna lie, I've used my GPU to heat up my small room before.
That's how I read it at least.
Or icebergs - Reyjavik is a popular place to build data-centres, so I have heard. They also have good geothermal in those parts.
