Really great work! Well done!

What are you saying great job for? They have a prototype no miner to sell to general public, heck I don't think we even know efficiency of prototype. So there is not a lot of good things.

I would avoid company till they prove a lot more. Also I would want to see possibly a better design look at their site when it's hooked up near water heater. That is just something most "home miners" won't be able to do on install I dont think.

Yeah I dont want any preorder but will be more than interested in buying one. Grin

I'm not sure I thought water cooling would be fun once... got two C1's. I have to say I like air much more. All depends on your setup but with having my mining area I would pick air all day long.

If something goes wrong... that is a lot of fluid and near electricity. I was scared when I saw one of my syscooling pumps fail and water came out of it... it got lucky with positioning it dripped down a old table and not twords electricity.

They have not made any big announcements that i know of... so I'm thinking we will never see mass production.

Great job for the idea. And good job for making a working prototype.
You should get a marketing guys to promote your stuff.
Wish you the best.

Evil beware: We have waffles!

I've mentioned this idea before in other threads: Ever think of selling them to hotels/spa resorts/ day-spa's where warm to hot water is used in abundance? Things like heated pools and spa tubs. Since they are heated anyway, why not offset their electric cost used to heat with btc income? I mean, typical 'safe' maximum water temps are 120F and since all those applications use constant circulating water the ASICS would love that.

For temp control, have the miners supply enough BTU's to satisfy say 80% of the needed average heat input with temp controlled final heaters leading to the pools to supply the rest as--needed.

Hello. We created miner-boiler that heating water and providing heat for 40-50 sq m.

Heating Power - 3 kW
Electricity Consumption - 3,3 kW
Water Temperature - 65C
Efficiency - 95%
Almost absolutely quiet - few decibels

Requirements:
Stable Internet Connection (1 Kb/s would be good)
Supply of cold water (30C max)
Electric connector 110-220V

We use Bitfury 55, 28 and 16 nm chips. Work with them since 2013. Now making R&D with 16nm chip (engeneering sample)
Our history with 3 generations of miners: http://omega-climate.com.ua/kotel-majner-istoriya/ (russian language with photo)

Do you ready buy such a device, which will cost 1k$ more than air-cooled miner, but heating your place and working quiet?
