Wow, It is so incredible, I predict chinese miners to have light for 24 hours per day
How would that get connected to the internet? Wifi?

For those interested - it is BITFURY that is reported to have the bitcoin-mining lightbuilb, not 21.

See: http://www.coindesk.com/block-chain-summit-reveals-lucy-liu-as-blockchain-tech-advocate/

Go figure. I wonder what their angle on this could possibly be?

UPDATE: Apparently this is more than rumor - there are photos and reports from Richard Branson's little Bitcoin get-together that show this thing is real: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23blockchainsummit&src=tyah

Mining produces heat, not light. As such 21 Inc.'s efforts only make sense in appliances that are supposed to provide heat intentionally - and on a regular/long term basis. Space heaters and water heaters are obvious examples. I can't imagine something like a toaster or electric oven receiving enough use to justify putting ASICs into them.

As far as light bulbs go, it's a ridiculous rumor. I'm trying to reduce the heat produced by lights in my house, not add to it. Even in winter, producing heat up at the ceiling has very little value.

If that is true then it is the stupidest thing/move I have ever heard.

How many hours during the day do you need to switch on the lights?
And WHY on earth would I want to use a light bulb that sucks on electricity instead of an LED one which is only but a few watts consumption?

Let us not forget that they would need to manufacture a light bulb with built-in WiFi.

So, NO.

I call bullshit.

It will still use a load of energy. How about central heating that is mining? At least the heat is then used for something useful.
