Towards the beginning of cryptomania there was a company selling room heaters where the heat was produced by GPUs or ASICs or something.

Look, you’re cold. You want heat. May as well help pay the heating bill.

Don’t know if they’re still going.

I started you mining Litecoin back in something like 2014, when I was in grad school. My appartment had purely resistive baseboard heating, so might as well mine some coin whole heating during Canadian winters right?

I stopped after making a few bucks because, well, I needed the PC to do my research work and investing in a dedicated rig wasn't really worth it (on a grad student budget).
