I have thinking about this idea. I have only my apartment, but here is a balkony that I can use as a place to working of my miner. So my balcony will be warm 
I have thought too. But only it is about my garage

in my country we have actually winter, outside -2°
i have a gpu mining rig with only 4x gtx10170 & i dont have to heat my 45qm flat xD
think i will get my money back for heating next year ;-)

That is good idea for this my winter.
Works great in northern Michigan heating a single-wide trailer with 32x 1060s. That's 4 rigs of 8 cards, one in each end bedroom, one in the livingroom and one on top of the fridge. When it dropped to 5F outside it was still 70F inside with the furnace off.
The air is a little dry, probably should pick up a humidifier for the bedroom.

I'm currently in a condo in Arizona (USA), and I have been looking forward to this winter all year. Of course I say winter, but it's really just a mild autumn, maybe a few days of frost overnight but that's it. I've got a Gridseed blade at the head of my bed, a small GPU rig in the opposite corner, and an antminer S5 in the in the kitchen/dining area. Things should finally go from "just tolerable" to "comfortable".

120F is enough to prevent bacteria growth in a hot water tank.
Awesome thread, I've been wondering this exact thing, I've been thinking of shutting the heat off and just running mining rigs, it's cold like 8 months of the year, maybe I'll just turn them off during the 2 hottest months.
I have recently found some curious news saying that 2 Russian guys have created a unique system for heating houses — their devices operate on the basis of mining farms. This stuff can also mine BTC.
Curious if the other countries will follow their unique experience?
Yes, I heard about it recently. These were two guys who created a burned-out house in Siberia. Very clever and practical. In Siberia it's cold and it's always snowing Curious if the other countries will follow their unique experience?
I refer to my miners as heaters, and the room they are in I use to dry my clothes from the washing machine, I leave the door open a little so some heat spreads out, I get currencies and heating
I used my miners to heat a room in my basement...was great in the winter...okay in the other season.
I heat my house with miners (also Pacific NW, so 9 months out of the year I don't vent any of them outside). My house thus far this year hasn't dropped below 65, and is usually above 70 (only drops below 70 when I switch the gpu miners to cryptonight coins). I have a 6gpu, a 4gpu, an L3+ and an S3. I have a S5 (for tinkering) and a D3 on the way (I know, I ordered it a while ago). I am building an office in my yard though, so the heat still won't go to waste.
My L3+, for noise, is in a sound dampening box I built in the basement, with insulated ducting pumping the warm air into the kitchen.
I replaced my water heater with a tankless a year or two ago, which sucks because I would LOVE to mod up a water heater (still may work something for beermaking and the like).

Nice idea, i saw one project that was made of 7 AMD GPU's connected with the sunlight water collectors system - guy managed to heat water in 300L water tank to near of 65C' then transfered the water to usage water in his house what caused lowering cost of heating the water ex. for bath - 65 C' is actually very comfortable temp for home usage.

65C is 149 F - which is too high to be safe for home water heating, definite scalding risk.
Sure they didn't have it at 55C? 131F would be a little on the high side but in the "normal" range for hot water temperature the outlet of a water heater.
Also, what did he do when he DIDN'T need the hot water running?
Or was it setup as a "recirculation" system through the GPUs and the solar heating array?
In our home water heating system the water on the boiler is 70C and its not a problem.
If you go under 55C the tank will be full of Legionella bacteria and you could not drink the water without getting ill.
Hot water is mixed with cold water on faucet so the water temp is max 40-45C.
System works like this
My small mining rig (not farm) was great during winter. It only heated up one room and was a bit noisy and annoying with the lights but it was kind of nice to not have to run the heater so often, and instead be printing money/coins from the comfort of my own home!

Actually i found that the 65'C is the water temperature resultant from water solar panel with GPU's connected together, but the temp is to be numbered at 65'C now when the outside temp is around 4'C - 8'C so i think it is a very good result. However, water in this system goes through the water tank heat exchanger which allows users to manage cold/hot water balance at the faucet (GPU's+Solar panel circulation does not go directly to the faucet) and also when the hot water is at it's intention temperature (in this project set to 65'C with heat loss included) the pump at the solar panel is cut off and water run more through a temp lowering coil (normally used during hot summer days for ex.

Nice idea because, the house become a warm place that you connot feel so hot so very nice idea.

this bullshit idea for heating with miners.
The air in the room where works mining farm is dry and unpleasant. also from many many miners outgoing radiation

There is more radiation from the smartphone in your pocket than from the mining rigs in your next room.
Gpus radiate alot of frequencies like other electrical appliances.
Haha, nice idea, I could do it too with my 2 rigs, but no luck... they are in my attic above my head
