Hello fine people of Nostr. 

With my first post I would like to inquire about home bitcoin mining. I apologize for the length, but I’m hoping to find some people who are generous with information.  

Preferred Miner Attributes Include:
1. Run on a 110v outlet.
2. As quiet as possible (40-50 dB) with decent mining efficiency. 
3. Easy to set up and maintain for a noob. 
4. WiFi compatible if possible. 

I have no illusions of profitability, but would like quality information sources about the following: 

1. Is there a linear increase in miner heat (BTU) output based off of the miner’s watt usage, or is there some other factor that determine’s the amount of heat a miner produces? I have looked at infrared space heater output values for 1,000 - 1,500 watt models, and am wondering of miners can have similar heat production efficiency. 

2. Is there any readily accessible information explaining various methods of integrating the miner heat output into your home heating system?

3. Are there trusted, discreet retailers that sell quality miners that fit this description in the USA?

4. Any other information you think might set me on the right path. 


Thank You for your Time and Knowledge!
