Toine is the founder of 256 Heat, a company dedicated to air-based Bitcoin heating systems. With a background in 3D design, macroeconomics, and finance, he first discovered Bitcoin in 2013, invested in 2015, and later became deeply involved in mining. Recognizing the potential of proof-of-work and digital scarcity, Toine began mining in 2022 and focused on modifying mining hardware to capture and utilize its waste heat. In 2022, he designed and built a dedicated Bitcoin mining shed, allowing him to experiment with firmware, software, and hardware optimizations. This hands-on experience led to the creation of 256 Heat in 2024, where he now develops practical, pleb-focused heat reuse solutions that integrate Bitcoin mining into everyday heating applications.

Heating is the goal, but cooling is the challenge. 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? And how do you choose the right approach for hashrate heating?
