I’d like to see more topics on regulation and compliance. While innovation is exciting and important, we also need to be able to install and implement these new products. In addition to legal compliance, what does onboarding and training installers look like? How do we incentivize and support them?
I would like to see more product demos. I know many of the guys who have products to sell ended up doing a basic overview a bunch of times to different people. Having good explanations of what products are and aren’t capable of would help direct people as to what they should be working on as well as where they can implement the showcased product. Also I think having plenty of Q&A time would give a chance for competitor/skeptics to ask tough questions.
I realize that when this industry grows up this will be seen as corporate shilling, but I think for now it would be helpful for everyone.
Bridging the Hardware Gap:
How do we get from industrial immersion and hydro miners to home-scale hash-heat systems? The 3-phase power bottleneck is real. What’s needed to make this tech residential-ready?
The Secret Sauce of Site Selection:
What truly makes a mining + heating location ideal? Beyond energy cost, consider the mix: green energy vs. waste heat, existing infrastructure, and orange-pilled decision-makers. Are there specific KPIs that help identify addressable and scalable opportunities?
Revenue-Sharing Models for Residential Hash-Heat:
What’s the optimal structure when a homeowner is heating their home with a Bitcoin miner they don’t fully own?
Three emerging models worth unpacking:
Full Ownership: Homeowner/client buys the hardware, pays for electricity, and keeps all the BTC. Simple, but requires upfront capital and technical know-how.
Hybrid Model: The Company owns and services the miner. Homeowner pays for heat and maintenance, while earning BTC-based rebates or sharing in the mining rewards. Aligns incentives and lowers barriers to entry.
Heater-as-a-Service: The unit is treated like a standard heating appliance. The homeowner pays a flat monthly fee for heat, with no exposure to mining or BTC—just lower costs driven by a smarter backend.
Each model balances capital expenditure, risk, and user experience differently. Which one wins may depend on regulation, grid integration, and how “Bitcoin-native” the homeowner/client base becomes.
Each structure has implications for compliance, cash flow, and customer alignment.
Mining Pools & Block Template Strategy for Residential Miners:
As block template wars heat up, how should hash-heat systems engage? Should there be a standard? What block template policies or pool behaviors matter most for this corner of the industry?
You’re Not Bullish Enough:
The heating industry represents a multi-billion-dollar TAM. Most Bitcoiners still think in terms of power plants and containers, but every water heater and boiler is a future mining node waiting to be plugged in.
I’d like to see some contractors step up into the space and provide guidance and potentially set up some trade-based guides/promos/content that we can start getting out to local tradesmen in our communities.
I’d really like a discussion around pools and payouts. Help show that OCEAN payments can be the same or higher than FPPS just with a higher degree of variance. Bonus points if the pool discussion is done from pools (eg hot tubs).
