Sessions
Join your hosts, Cody Harris and Tyler Stevens as they welcome you to Undermine 2025 - the inaugural Heatpunk Summit!
This session introduces the fundamentals of Bitcoin mining and its role in heat reuse. 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.

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.

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.
Cody Harris and Tyler Stevens will kick things off for day 2 of Undermine.
Join hosts Cody Harris and Tyler Stevens for the closing session of Undermine 2025. This interactive discussion will recap key takeaways, tackle pressing questions, and invite insights from non-Bitcoin tradesmen and industry experts in the audience. What are the biggest challenges facing Bitcoin-powered heating? What barriers still stand in the way? What’s working, and what needs to change? This session is a chance to reflect, strategize, and gather real-world feedback to help push the industry forward.
