And who is gonna foot the bill for the mining?

You already pay to heat your house, what if you could be paid to hear your house?

Your house is not necessarily heated with electricity.

Running an ASIC 24/7 would use up like $285 worth of electricity per month if you pay 12 cents for each kilowatt-hour.

But it will be anyway, that's a matter of a few decades now. If you're currently replacing your heating system, I should hope you're switching to electricity.

Though I'd say let's get a heat pump and save like 2/3rds of the energy compared to making the heat from scratch. Depending on the climate you might need some additional heating a few weeks per year, and then yeah sure let's do mining, but that's not a stable basis for a cryptocurrency's security.

So about the normal amount for heating a house here in Canada.
