Heater – Bob Thompson http://www.drbob.17after.com My musings Fri, 09 Mar 2018 23:05:19 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 QC1 Cryptocurrency Heater http://www.drbob.17after.com/2018/03/10/qc1-cryptocurrency-heater/ Sat, 10 Mar 2018 22:50:31 +0000 http://www.drbob.17after.com/?p=848 Qarnot, a French startup, revealed a new heater made specifically for cryptocurrency mining. The QC1 heats your home through an internal computer that has been optimized for mining cryptocurrency. It’s amazing how much heat these mining rigs generate so it is probably a great little heater.

Some features of the QC1 according to the Qarnot website include:

  • The heat of the QC-1 is generated by the 2 graphics cards embedded in the device and mining cryptocurrencies or blockchain transactions: while heating, you create money.
    You can watch in real time how crypto markets are trending, on your mobile app and on your QC-1 LEDs.
  • It doesn’t embed any mobile part (no fans, no hard drives). This system, developed by Qarnot, is IP-protected.
  • You can monitor the mining mode of your device, activate a heating booster mode in addition to the mining level when you are cold, on the device and on your app.

      • The price is about 2,900 Euros so it’s not inexpensive, but in line with some rigs optimized for mining. Check it out at Tech Crunch.
