We’ll cover why mining consumes energy, how it works, and why all that energy turns into heat. Then, we’ll explore how Bitcoin mining heat reuse transforms this byproduct into a valuable asset, creating new opportunities with no counterparty risk. This talk provides the essential context for tradesmen, heating professionals, and innovators before diving into business models, system designs, and the future of Bitcoin-powered heating. undermine-2025-2-overview-for-novices Rob WarrenTyler Stevens en false https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/7JLXKY/ https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/7JLXKY/feedback/ Event Room Panel 2025-02-21T11:00:00-07:00 11:00 00:45 MOD: Martin Connor As energy costs rise and efficiency becomes a priority, Bitcoin mining heat reuse offers a compelling alternative—but how far can it go? This panel explores the potential market size, ideal applications, and whether Bitcoin miners could compete with or replace traditional heating sources like natural gas, propane, and heat pumps. From residential to industrial applications, we’ll examine the opportunities, limitations, and the role Bitcoin mining could play in reshaping the future of heating. undermine-2025-3-heat-reuse-potential Martin ConnorTyler StevensColin SullivanLu Zexiang en false https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/S7JRH7/ https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/S7JRH7/feedback/ Event Room Panel 2025-02-21T11:45:00-07:00 11:45 00:45 MOD: Cody Harris Bitcoin mining heat reuse isn’t just a technology shift—it’s a business model revolution. This panel explores how Bitcoin miners can disrupt the heating industry with innovative revenue-sharing models, free or subsidized heating hardware, and new ways to split mining rewards between consumers and service providers. Could this approach create a decentralized, globally distributed mining company? Join us as we break down the economics, challenges, and opportunities of monetizing heat while securing the Bitcoin network. undermine-2025-4-business-model-roundtable Cade PetersonNicolas DrouinTroy CrossCody Harris en false https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/B3TSZZ/ https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/B3TSZZ/feedback/ Event Room Panel 2025-02-21T13:45:00-07:00 13:45 00:45 MOD: Trevor Bello The future of Bitcoin mining heat reuse is being built from the ground up—by plebs. This panel highlights the DIY innovation driving small-scale mining, where tinkerers and builders are modifying industrial ASICs for home heating. From Loki boards enabling 110V power conversion to custom firmware, quieter fans, and Wi-Fi-enabled setups, these grassroots solutions are making hashrate heating accessible. Without this hands-on experimentation, Bitcoin mining heat reuse wouldn’t be where it is today. Join us as we explore how open-source development, community collaboration, and small-scale ingenuity are paving the way for a new era of mining at home. undermine-2025-6-small-scale-mining Trevor BelloDwight TucciKevin ManriqueNeil B en false https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/CHDRJY/ https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/CHDRJY/feedback/ Event Room Panel 2025-02-21T14:30:00-07:00 14:30 00:45 MOD: Colin Crossman For Bitcoin mining heat reuse to scale, key challenges must be addressed—technician education, regulatory hurdles, fire safety, insurability, and warranties. No business or homeowner will invest in a heating system without certifications, trusted brands, or reliable service. This panel explores what’s needed to move Bitcoin heating from niche innovation to a practical, insurable, and scalable industry solution. undermine-2025-7-adoption-landscape Mike TsofliasDylan SRachel NixonColin Crossman en false https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/NE3S77/ https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/NE3S77/feedback/ Event Room Panel 2025-02-21T15:15:00-07:00 15:15 00:45 MOD: Tyler Stevens The Heatpunk’s Manifesto panel explores the role of bitcoin mining in decentralization and mass adoption through heat reuse. As mining pools consolidate, bringing hashrate back to homes and businesses strengthens both physical and digital resilience. But how do we balance sovereignty with usability? Can mining-as-heating be a Trojan horse for mass adoption while sidestepping regulatory scrutiny? This discussion unpacks the future of home mining, network security, and bitcoin’s evolution as both digital and thermal energy. undermine-2025-8-heatpunk-s-manifesto Tyler StevensBitcoin MechanicMatt HillTroy Cross en false https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/RL3MBQ/ https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/RL3MBQ/feedback/ Lounge Break 2025-02-21T12:30:00-07:00 12:30 01:15 Enjoy lunch while networking and exploring the Bitcoin heat reuse hardware on-site at The Space.

This panel explores the three main heat delivery methods—air, immersion, and hydro—breaking down their strengths, limitations, and trade-offs. Air is simple and direct, immersion captures nearly all heat, and hydro offers efficient heat transfer over distance. But which system is best for which application?

Designing an efficient ASIC is a massive undertaking, requiring deep expertise and resources, which is why manufacturing has remained concentrated among a few players. But what if system builders had direct access to ASIC chips? Could this unlock purpose-built heating systems instead of retrofitting industrial miners? We’ll discuss why current ASIC manufacturers also build entire mining systems—chassis, fans, power supplies, and control boards—and whether they will continue down this path or eventually offer chips and supporting documentation for decentralized system development. Will ASIC manufacturers recognize the opportunity in heat reuse, or will independent innovators need to push the frontier forward? undermine-2025-14-asic-frontier Rob WarrenBob BurnettZubair AhmadChristopher Crowell en false https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/NRJ7RQ/ https://conference.denver.space/undermine-2025/talk/NRJ7RQ/feedback/ Event Room Talk 2025-02-22T14:00:00-07:00 14:00 01:00 Join hosts Cody Harris and Tyler Stevens for the closing session of Undermine 2025.
