The truth right now is that miners use more energy to get rid of the heat compared to the heat that is actually used.

Most probably; especially as mining seems to be more suitable on sunny places people can put on their solar panels.

That's because the guy in the article was mining with a GPU, so... Grin

Omg LOL!

you have the problem of transferring the heat because it's quite hard to transfer heat via air tubes for ventilation and not to transfer noise also!

It may work by actually heating water and send that through pipes, but that means more costs and more waste too.
Or as said, use the heat in a garden where the tomatoes may not mind the noise (although I've read in the past that flower prefer classical music). But that may need to be insulated too if it's near the civilization.

I bet he spent more on that than his S9 will make in all its lifetime.

Exactly.
