Happy New Year Heatpunks!

Just put together a full walkthrough tutorial for our Hashrate Heating savings calculators from

Our 2026 roadmap is epic. Stay tuned for hashrate solar calculators and full fledged ROI estimates, unique to your heating load profile.

Ever wonder if mining bitcoin could be a cheaper way to heat your house? Unsure if it makes sense with your electric and fuel rates? Curious how different miners stack up?

Check out our first

vibe-coded web app for hashrate heating calcs. Link and source below

Glad to see Hashrate Heating has made the ASHRAE newsletter for industry news!

"Americans Are Heating Their Homes with Bitcoin This Winter ... someday its use as a [heat] source within homes and buildings will be much more widespread"

It was an honor to give me first ever solo keynote at Imagine IF! Thank you @bitcoinpark_

Cloud flare outage experience today:

• At Home: Couldn't send a command from phone to turn off the furnace. (Ecobee talks to remote server).

• At Exergy Office: Home assistant app on our phone sends command directly to local node, passes command over local API to our thermostat (Venstar) & miners.

Highly recommend attending the @start9labs service packaging office hours with Matt and team.

Today he walked us through the how-to with a live Home Assistant packaging demo.

Now on 0.4.0 Alpha 12.

Anything you want on your home server - you can make into an .s9pk

It was a pleasure chatting with Brandon from Sovreign about what we’re building at @Exergy_LLC

We dive deep into our process for heating homes with Hashrate. Give it a listen!

Thanks to @spiralbtc for sending these resources to our bitcoin community hub, @SpaceDenver

We’re going to start a little local competition to see who can get the most businesses accepting freedom money.

Paying with bitcoin on @Square in Buena Vista, CO

Make sure to visit The Slammer. Best bar in town.

I think we need MORE hashrate heating for the Heatpunk Summit

Got to chat with Isa and Eco about mining centralization at a dinner last month.

Few weeks later and we have an excellent mini doc to bring people up to speed.

The power of story telling! Great work 🙌

Heatpunk Winter is Coming

Don't know where to start? Get a Heatbit or Canaan Mini 3 space heater.

Feeling savvy? Get an Avalon Q and duct the heat exhaust into your furnace.

Want your miners to respond to your existing thermostats? Check out @Exergy_LLC documentation.

Shout out to @wantclue

Justing finding out about his YT channel focused on mining education.

Almost all gas heaters are oversized because they are cheap to add extra head room to. Just burn more gas. Open valve longer.

Hashrate Heat requires proper sizing on the margin to get best bang for buck. Don’t want to buy asic chips you won’t use.

Goal is to optimize mining duty cycle for average heat load so you get most sats.

We do this at

if you are wondering what the definition of plebslop is, take a look at the twitter feed from various bitaxe sellers.

Only those who measure hashprice in Dollars/PH care.

Usually those measuring in Cents/TH are immune, aka solo mining, non-KYC stacking, or heating their house.

Note on Node-RED. There are pros and cons here compared to PyASIC /

Node-RED: Pros) No service maintenance. If you have the API documentation, you can build anything you want. Don't need to be a developer.

Cons) More difficult setup process. Not an out-of-the-box setup process.

PyASIC/ASIC.rs: Pros) Automates setup. Input miner IP, define power limits. API commands and miner stats are automatically brought in to Home Assistant vis the HASS miner HACS integration.

Cons) Requires continuous maintenance to add new miners. Does not always include all API variables for every miner command. Needs active development for each new "hashrate heating model".

Hashrate growth should replace GDP.

It’s a metric of the human capacity to harness untapped energy, build capacity, eliminate waste and maximize efficiency.

The sovereign smart home means controlling your internet connected devices locally, without big tech overlords watching every move.

Hashrate heat is now sovereign smart home infrastructure.

Follow Dylan's docs for @Exergy_LLC to command the Canaan Mini 3 from Home Assistant!

An open source mining stack is going to completely redefine what it means to mine bitcoin.

"There is now an unique moment for new technology that aligns with Bitcoin values, provides a geopolitical advantage for any country that embraces it and helps Bitcoin stay true to its mission of being person-to-person, peer-to-peer money.

The heatpunks have arrived." 🔥

I have no idea what I’m doing. All I know is I love it. I wake up in the morning excited to work.

Bitcoin has provided me this luxury.

If this sounds risky or foreign to you, you’re part of the matrix.

The Space is almost completely heated with hashrate. Just a few more things.

And the hot tubs of course. Should make those a permanent fixture.

Heatpunks - you know what to do

Thrilled to speak at Bitcoin 2025 this month! I’ll be moderating a panel all about heat reuse!

If you’ll be in Vegas and want to chat hashrate heating, or hang with the Heatpunks, let’s make sure to connect 🔥🫡

🚨 Attention Heatpunks, home miners, manufacturers, plebs, and industrial hashers:

The Hashrate Heatpunk Forum is now live!

https://t.co/I1ynx9tgmH

Brought to you by The Space — this public platform is your one-stop hub to learn, share, and discuss the future of hashrate heating.

I believe the best way to bring a large amount of mining back home is via heating appliances.

Decentralize hashrate and block template construction with more “mining operators” - aka “smart home” heating systems.

But doing this requires overcoming some challenges and industry shifts.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the efforts of companies like

and Proto Mining - doing the grunt work to make this possible. But this is just the start.

I wrote a book all about the emerging hashrate heating industry. It highlights why I think this makes sense, who’s a good fit for it, and what other barriers we must overcome for it to scale.

, I’d love to send you a copy. I think you’d find it interesting!

Check out this fantastic recap video of UnderMine - the first Heatpunk Summit we hosted at

in February.

Thanks to Trevor at Build a Mine Podcast for the great video

Mega miner heat recapture is not the same as hashrate heating to bring mining back home. Only one requires radical overhaul of the ASIC mining industry.

One of our amazing members at

set up a nostr relay on our self hosted server.

Another perk for our members. White-labeled npubs get access along with a denver.space nip address.

No larping. We’re building our own sovereign tech stack 🫡

Reflecting on an unreal experience at The Park last week. Blessed to have been a small part of NEMS 2025.

Here are my biggest takeaways:

1. Physical bitcoin hubs punch above their weight. High signal summits, meetups and events accelerate adoption, build relationships and more. I was inspired by NEMS 2024 at

   npub1thepark…d94dha

   last year to help build a Bitcoin hub of our own in Denver. We pulled it off. If you haven’t been yet, swing through The Space

   npub1knvgqlk…j7lg29

   and shout out to everyone at The Park for being a great resource.

2. Miners are my favorite folks in bitcoin. I think it’s the way my brian is wired. It’s tangible. It’s physical. It’s real work in the trenches. Hunting wasted resources, balancing load and monetizing heat. We’re just getting started.

3. Bitcoin is a cheat code for finding your calling. It helps people find their niche. Spending your time and energy with those who share your world view make every day rewarding.

It was great to get to know those who’ve inspired me more closely. And amazing to meet the people who were part of my bitcoin journey from the start.

Bullish on what’s to come from The Commons, The Park and The Space 🫡

WhatsMiner M64

✅ Single Phase PSU for home outlets ✅ 80 C outlet temp for more heating applications ✅ Standardized “U” form factor for consistency and ease of integration with server infrastructure ✅ hydro cooled ASIC design eliminates the need for complex immersion components

This single miner replaces half of the immersion HashTub by Nakamoto Heating Solutions.

Hashrate Heating innovation continues 🫡🔥

At bitcoin park this week for NEMS. Who’s in town?

would you be interested in coming to give a talk to our members at

sometime?
