Has anyone done the math to determine whether it is cheaper to burn natural gas directly for heat, or to drive a generator that powers a bitcoin miner that produces heat plus sats?
I know that there is an efficiency loss due to converting heat to electricity then to back to heat, but wondering if sats gained is a net positive?
