they should just sell a radiator attachment for computers, i.e. a giant passive heatsink so you can heat up your room.

@lore Actually this rabbit hole goes much deeper than people think.

A cryptocurrency miner is almost exactly as efficient at heating a room as a space heater, except it pays you when it does. So if we replaced all space heaters with cryptominers then you would get payed to heat your home rather than paying to heat your home.

In fact there was a company that did exactly this, they sold space heaters that were cryptominers. I wish I could remember the name.

@eris

How ya figure? The user doesnt invest anything, they get a free space heater and get paid money. How can that be a scam?

@lore

@freemo @lore You get to report your new heater on your taxes.

@eris

By that logic doing anything that makes you money is a scam :)
