The developer of the first heater that mines cryptocurrency considers it better than Dyson
The co-founder of Heatbit has spoken about the benefits of his unique invention, a heater that mines cryptocurrency. As Heatbit co-founder Alex Busarov explained in a conversation with CoinDesk journalists, the device can heat a standard one-room apartment and mine bitcoins at the same time. According to Busarov, this way, Heatbit customers not only save energy but also earn money.
«This winter season will be frosty, but Heatbit’s innovative heaters will help keep a one-room apartment warm while mining enough bitcoins to offset at least part of the monthly electricity bill,» said Alex Busarov. The device looks like an ordinary heater, but it contains built-in circuits that perform trillions of calculations per second. This generates not only HTS but also heat in the room.
So far, Heatbit has managed to sell more than 1000 miner heaters, with the price of one device being $ 1200. Some users of the network expressed dissatisfaction with the «too high cost of installation,» but the co-founder of Heatbit cited a heater from another well-known company, Dyson, which costs $ 700 and does not have the ability to mine cryptocurrencies. Therefore, according to Busarov, buying Heatbit is a profitable investment that will bring profit.
As we mentioned earlier, Heatbit’s power is 1400 watts, and the device is quite quiet, as its noise level does not exceed 42 decibels. For comparison, the sound volume of a working refrigerator reaches 40 decibels.
The computing power of the device is 14 teraflops per second. Since 2022, Heatbit has been certified to US and Canadian safety standards. Rigorous tests included covering the device at full power with a blanket, stopping the fan, and many others to make sure it is safe to use in a residential environment.
It is worth noting that the by-product of bitcoin mining, heat, will be used to heat a new residential complex in Buenos Aires, Next Pampa 2.0, which is currently under construction. The smart home will allow mining cryptocurrency and saving money. According to Newlink Capital representatives back in July, a bitcoin mining farm will be located in the basement of the high-rise, with the profits from which it will be possible to pay for construction and repair costs. Solar panels will be installed on the roof of the building to provide all apartments with sufficient renewable energy.
