the pool

[milanbenes]

the pool has its own heat pump, from april to october we don't heat the house anyway, no need to

Milan.

I mean, why not stick a heat exchanger in the mix, mine bitcoin and dump the excess generated heat to warm the pool? Best of all worlds?

[WTFH]

Once you have enough bitcoin you can just buy a yacht with a heated pool on it and sail around the med.

Or you could buy yourself your very own MP.

that never crossed my mind

we could forget heating the pool and mine bitcoin

will look in to it

thanks

that's the thing though isn't it, we have all this capacity to create energy, and so it's not about being efficient, it's about using all of the energy

funny old world

Milan.

Stranded energy ? Most bitcoin is mined with stranded energy - contrary to what most people think. You could switch over to mining BTC in the winter when its too cold to get your kit off and take a swim.

If you are dumping 34.5 KWh into the pool every day, it might be more efficient to skip the part where you turn sunlight into electricity and then electricity into heat. Just solar direct heating panels.

Real contractors don't need heated pools.

[willendure]

is now in operation, and the heatpump and filtration systems are running off the panels

how cool is that

we are currently consuming about 35kwh per day and of that 0.5kwh is coming from the grid

you gotta be in it to win it


Milan in "going green" mode.

[Snooky]

Is this an above-ground or in-the-ground pool?
