Cryptocurrency miners are using computers with application specific integrated circuits to “mine” for digital paydirt, a process that consumes large amounts of electricity and generate a lot of heat, which typically cool by water.

One at-home cryptocurrency miner has used the heat given off by his mining circuitry to run hot water into his bathtub, reports Motherboard.
The test mining system he designed heated the water in his tub to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, “dangerously hot” for a bath, he said.

By doubling his mining operation as a water heater, he was able to cut his heating bill and increase the profit margin on his mining operation with the cost savings.
