  • Nothing is free. Your equipment depreciates, so you need to account for that. Might be worthwhile if you have solar panels, a battery and use dynamic pricing. So you can charge the battery with solar and when electricity costs next to nothing, so you can run the equipment for heating of the battery when you get home in the afternoon which is usually when electricity prices go up. But end of the day it’s cheaper to just burn gas or use a heat pump if you just want to heat your home. And the heat a GPU array generates is probably not enough. The more efficient the GPU is with mining the less heat it generates, so the heat output per dollar input goes down. Not to mention the cost of a single GPU or ASIC miner.
