You’ve seen it around. Bitcoiners modifying their ASIC miners to use as space heaters for their homes, their hot tubs, you name it.
Not gonna lie, it does require some technical skills, but it’s not a lot. I’ve modified two S9 miners myself, one is keeping me warm right now as I’m writing this.

But what if there was a way to just get a home miner and plug it in?
Thankfully, lots of people have come up with solutions, with varying results.
