heat is so expensive in my current place, and now that we are heading into fall i need to start thinking about this. thanks for the heads up!!!
it probably will damage your hardware if it is too hot, and heaters may be more efficient.

Too funny!!! 
crazy, never would have thought this! awesome idea!! i have to look into mining now, hehe.
What about the poisonous gases which are generated as a result of mining?
Mining does not generate any bad gas ...
No. Mining doesn't. However, the computer you are running releases Co2. Depending on the energy consumption.
But, it doesn't seem to be harming anyone thus far (short term). Let's say 0.2KW and 500g/KWh, we can very roughly estimate 100g of CO2 produced per hour of computer usage.
Funny, you have some experimental biological computer then
But high voltage may create bit of O3, which react extremly well with any biological material we are made of
i have heard this is great for miners in cold climates, no experience, though. always been jealous of those Canucks! 
Thank you
But usually, we aren't THAT cold in some places.
I don't know much about mining - but I DO know that they can break - so not exactly reliable heating - and wouldn't they produce radiation?

i have heard of this and i think it is awesome!!! unfortunately i don't know anything about mining rigs, so i can't help you there, LOL. but good luck!! i wish i lived somewhere where i could offset my mining costs like that!!

Last winter my area of the world reached lows of -28/-33 with daytime highs of 0.
I have two coal/wood stoves and gas heating. Trick to saveing is to plan in advance I'd you can. Out here one can cut wood/gather dead fall for a year paying the BLM $25 for a permit.
Two truck loads of wood and one truckload of coal
Rough numbers
---------
Fule for the truck -$60
Coal - $75
Wood Permit - $25
The end result was a toasty warm casa and a happy family. Now you must realize as well I do mine crypto so throwing a rig in a common room helped in those late hours when I would fail to automaticly wake up and stoke the fires. They atleast took the edge off.
If you do this close the door to the room (common sense). Trap that heat and enjoy.

poisonous gases from what? hot metal/plastic?

I think heaters are more efficient at heating than miners...
Yes, it is for sure.
I never heard about this crazy idea.
And I don't think that anyone is using a mining rig to heat a house
Block eruptors aren't good idea for heating. You have to buy Tahiti LE GPU (7870XT). But remember, there is no way to read below the physical laws. More heat - more power consumption!
Why pick that GPU? Does it heat the most?

yes they will heat your house if you have enough of them no card will produce more heat than the electric it uses I would sugest that tou mine altcoins as you will make more money back
Your miners will deliver a large amount of heat in a very small space, which the opposite of what you would want to heat a house.
True. How about if you put a small fan on them blowing outwards, then in theory it would help spread the heat around the room?

You should use traditional heating, it is designed for it.
And if your mining rig is over heating, or after a few months, it could just broke up. It is not designed to heat a room at all, and needs to be cooled down
