But yeah, to get back on topic: ASIC miners as used for Bitcoin can do literally nothing else but process hashes. You could use the excess heat for heating, but that's about it as far as consumer use cases are concerned.
whoa, that's some 18th century thermodynamics thinking you're stuck in there homie
we can take:
- the excess heat
- all the consumer use cases
- the color of the miner they were all hashed on
Convert the heat generated from hashing back into electricity, which is then put into more hashing, which is put into electricity....
You could call it
The perpetual mining machine!
