WiseMining has made an interesting offer on the market. The enterprising brand offers to buy an ASIC miner in the form of a boiler. Yes – a water heater from the household appliances section for domestic purposes. One might smile and pass by. But, upon reflection, the idea doesn’t seem so reckless.
ASIC miner in the form of a SATO boiler for $9000
The problem with all Bitcoin mining devices is the utilization of the dissipated power in the form of heat emission. WiseMining decided to solve this problem by converting useful efficiency into water heating. And why not? The economic benefit is noticeable. Moreover, efficiency doubles. On one hand – cryptocurrency mining is performed. On the other hand – hot water is available from the same electricity consumption.
And the most pleasant moment for the buyer is the versatility of the Sato boiler. The trick is that it is not tailored for a specific device. WiseMining’s manufacturer claims support for Antminer S9, S19, S19 Pro, S19+. By studying the design and understanding the principle of operation, it will not be difficult to connect a farm of gaming graphics cards to a household appliance. If there is a desire.
Interesting prospects for cryptocurrency mining
It is unknown how many buyers have lined up for the Sato boiler-miner. But it is definitely known that miners liked the idea very much. Not everyone is ready to spend $9,000 on a household appliance, so on specialized forums, users have begun to actively discuss building a similar device by hand.
Soon, on the second-hand computer equipment market, we will see ads – selling a mining farm with a boiler. WiseMining has set an interesting vector – now it remains to wait for solutions from amateur craftsmen. The main thing is that Bitcoin maintains its growth trend in price.
