 Dangit. This is making me want to duct the output of my S9 through the furnace ductwork. Dangit. It's such a good idea... Arg!

 I've got mine set up as a space heater in the living room

Pretty quiet you can definitely sleep with it on, 700watts about 50db 
 One of the nice things about it is that it’s always putting warm air through the house so while it does take a while for it to “fill” the entire house, it provides a really nice sustained heat. I have a smaller house and it’s by no means energy efficient and just that miner will keep my house around 70 degrees when it’s in the low 40’s outside. I really need to do a full video showing the whole setup 
 I've been wanting to do this for years but the job feels so intimidating. My house has a slab foundation making a whole home system install difficult.

I’ve been tempted to grab a space heater option like these however https://d-central.tech/bitcoin-space-heaters/

I’d love to learn more from your guys setups and experience if/when you’re willing to share
 
 Lol! I just have a an S9 on a shelf. I bought it with quiet fans installed and a 120V power supply. It's plugged in to my solar power system and my router. 

That's it. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that, but... I don't care if it looks good at this point.  
 Well that sounds easy enough. Only mining I’ve done is simple bitaxe fun. I don’t have a lot of space, maybe ~900 sq ft. 

I’m curious how much heat you get out of it? Also would love to add solar to my setup if you feel like sharing ideas  
 If you can run it safely at 1800W, you'll heat up your space too much. I haven't needed to run mine higher than ~800W to maintain mid-60*F temps. 

I have a simplex group for discussing solar stuff, if you'll allow me a shameless self-plug.

 Excellent, I’ll check it out when I get some free time

Thanks homie, I appreciate it 
 Any time!  
 What is going on in this video 
 I have a setup with an asic miner that vents outside when it’s warm out and in this video I’m swapping it over with a sort of quick connect that I made and now it’s pushing the warm air through the duct work in my house to help heat during the cold months. 
 Oh that’s cool 
 Ah OK

I'm a renter lol
