I don't get it, S1s like all bitcoin miners are already space heaters?
Of course but s-1s as constructed are not shock safe, pet safe, kid safe.
In the USA there are millions of all electric homes.
So a 2 s-1 unit with under volt and under clock to 280 gh 400 watts
sounds meh as a miner . but as a space heater it is a fine piece of gear for an all electric home . or any place that is already using an electric space heater.
Price wise an s-1 costs 250 usd 2 cost 500 usd a decent psu 100.
so for 600 you have a space heater. not practical since space heaters cost 50 bucks.
But if you own s-1's now along with psu's now. a good easy idea to convert you s-1 into a safe practical space heater makes that s-1 good until march or april of 2015.
This contest will encourage miners to create a safe practical space heater out of the soon to eol s-1.
A down volted down clocked s-1 can use quiet fans.
Also this would be a great incentive for Bitmain to build s-1's with a different resistor {the pencil mod done right}
fans would be quieter users would get money back and thus green space heaters.
Here is a shout out to bitmain build a modded s-1 batch with built in down volt . They would sell and you would make more with them then you realize
