Cryptocurrencies Offer Solutions that Were Unforeseen Years Ago.
Qarnot, a french startup designed a heater that generates heat by mining cryptocurrency.
The QC1 features a passive computer optimized for mining to meet “the heating needs of consumers,” said Qarnot co-founder and COO Miroslav Sviezeny. The QC1 uses two AMD GPUs (Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX580 with 8GB of VRAM) and mines Ethers by default but this can be changed since it runs on Linux and can be accessed directly. The initial setup is as simple as plugging in an Ethernet cable and entering an Ethereum address via the mobile app.
Qarnot estimates, with current stats, that the heater will mine at 60 MH/s and generate around $120 USD per month excluding electricity costs. All the money goes directly to the individual QC1 owner and none is kept by the company. The heater will cost $3,600 USD, but can also be bought in Bitcoin. In addition, the heater has a very elegant look to fit in with any modern home.
More than just financial independence
Using the intense energy of crypto mining to heat homes is an idea that helps people beyond financial independence. The QC1 allows users to get paid to heat their own homes and thus reducing their energy costs, but even more revolutionary is the concept to heat homes for free and someone else keeps the crypto. These two concepts use the potential of crypto to provide a valuable life-sustaining service to people around the world for free or reduced costs.
