Oh no, not again that intense fractal gif at the end :)
Great news about everything. This pub is awesome even before the official opening.
Ps: if you really are cold during winter then you should try this - https://www.wimhofmethod.com/
It's all in your head, they say :)
Looking forward, cheers.

I have some miners to warm me up...
Lately, I advise some LTC + DOGE dual miners if possible. They are quite effective in maintaining your power bill PAID, while you eat up your house.
I did not had !PIZZA but I wish I could do one today.
@ervin-lemark! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @forykw.

Heating up the house with a mining rig is somewhat questionable in my mind. Just an opinion :)
Hummm I thought about that too in the beginning, then my Electrical engineering skills told me otherwise.
So, what's the difference between using an oil heater (that does nothing and is only a pure resistor) and a miner? if both are rated 1000W... there is no physics difference. Both output 1000W of heat. This is of course neglecting the kinetic energy for fans and other movable parts that usually is less than 1%.
OK, you are right. They both consume lots of energy. So, if your heat source is direct electricity. Yet, what if you have other options, more nature-friendly?
I was pre'talking already in case "your don't have" =)
But yeah... using the sun to capture heat for the night and better isolation techniques are of course way better. Lots of them.
Although... I would use Electrical solar panels to use miners... =) just in case the power goes down.
Is this feasible? Solar panels for miners? In winter?
Not a very good ROI if you just consider them to gain profits from the miner. But if you are in remote locations where you don't have alternatives, then it becomes the only choice.
The ratio is always between the amount of sun (like you are guessing) and the price of the panels. Here in NZ for example, it's not very cheap, therefore not wildly adopted. Only used if you want to be independent of the network.
