Major Update: Bitcoin Mining Heat-Capture Season 2025
HeatHarvest Greenhouse / Proof-of-Growth: Purple Sweet Potatoes & Crawfish, Vlog 2: Claws & Roots , Move-In, Tune-Up, and Flip to Spring. This Vlog features several big upgrades:

Insulated, layered floor: Rubberized PVC, coconut coir, and cement "layered", insulated concrete slab so our precious Bitcoin heat isn’t wicked into the earth. Detailed post on the layered insulated concrete will be added to this thread soon.

Crawfish move-in: Two breeding tanks plus the orange stock tub now hold backup breeders and bulk crawfish stock. We also built and assembled a custom vertical hydroponics growing system that ties directly into the stock tub.

Biological synergy: Crawfish produce ammonia that microbes convert to nitrite and then nitrate for the plants. As plants take up these nutrients, they scrub the water, creating a cleaner, healthier environment for the crawfish and steady feed for the plants.

Temporary automated heating: A modified S19j Pro running a two-hashboard, 120 V modded configuration is keeping the HeatHarvest greenhouse warm, even after a recent drop to 20 F. A simple thermostat brings the #Bitcoin miner online with target of 80 F; so far, temperatures have held between 60–77 F. With winter setting in, the rig hasn’t turned off, so we’re steadily mining Bitcoin and producing HEAT.

Purple sweet potatoes moved in: Twelve 10-gallon grow bags filled with organic soil and our cloned purple sweet potatoes grown from seed potatoes over the spring/summer are now in place, for roughly 960 pounds of total grow soil medium in the greenhouse.

Flip to “spring”: We switched the greenhouse to 24-hour light, sun by day, and an auto-switch runs the grow lights from dusk till dawn. This extended photoperiod, drives aggressive vegetative growth and pushes the HeatHarvest greenhouse into “spring.”

Status:

So far, so good. It took two days to dial in all systems. The real challenge was balancing the closed, circular system between the crawfish stock tank and the vertical hydroponics system. We officially switched to spring conditions three days ago, and we’re already seeing spinach seedlings showing strong growth.

What’s next for Vlog 3

Command Console: Time to give the console some attention and make the HeatHarvest greenhouse as smart and automated as possible. This will house the automation “brain” and our more permanent heating system. We’re waiting on a unique piece of Bitcoin-mining hardware for the final heating setup, it’s going to be very special. Stay tuned.

More spinach starts: Germinate and raise seedlings to 4 inches in a 50/50 coco coir + perlite blend. This keeps roots in a loose medium for easy transfer into the vertical hydroponics system, fed by nutrient-rich water from the crawfish stock tank.

Healthy crawfish: Keep parameters dialed so breeding ramps up and egg production begins.

Build the smart M.O.E.M. (Mining Operation Environmental Monitor), HeatHarvest Monitor (open source): Custom PCB + hardware + firmware (released free and open source on the HeatHarvest GitHub). It will monitor temperature, humidity, O₂, and CO₂, and send email/notification alerts on anomalies (e.g., sudden temperature drops). It will also log long-term data for this season and future HeatHarvest runs. Also feature a web app that allows us to monitor the HeatHarvest greenhouse 24/7 remotely.

Sponsorship stickers: We also need to add our permanent sponsorship stickers. The greenhouse humidity destroyed several sticker rounds, so we’ve ordered permanent vinyl replacements for the sponsor banner.

Current plants in the HeatHarvest greenhouse:

Purple sweet potatoes, spinach, mint, avocados, and Japanese honeysuckle with more to come as space allows.

Countless micro-projects are underway before Vlog 3. Stay tuned, I’ll keep this thread updated until the next Vlog is live. Would like to welcome our latest Sponsor Ungovernable Misfits. Interested in sponsoring? There’s still time DM or email us.

Stack your corn with Bitcoin heat!

Got a little cold front coming in, not willing to chance it. This S19 is more than capable of bumping the temps back into the perfect range and making sure the corn doesn’t go into cold shock.

Corn isn’t typically grown this way unless you’re chasing a very specific outcome.

In this case, maintaining the genetics of an heirloom sweet corn variety that is, hands down, the most buttery, sweet-tasting corn I’ve ever had. I’ve never found another variety that comes close.

So every year, I grow a small batch in very controlled conditions to preserve the genetics and keep it going.
Bitcoin heat can be one of the greatest resources for sustainable agriculture when used with intention. In this case, it’s helping protect something rare, useful, and worth carrying forward.

Bitcoin mining heat-capture initiatives could go far beyond typical poultry production.

They could become a powerful tool for wildlife conservation efforts.

By using Bitcoin mining heat for incubation, brooding, and early-stage care, we can begin restoration of long-declining native species, like northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), back into their natural habitats.

Bitcoin mining heat is capable of incredible things.

If some of the largest Bitcoin mining companies in the world joined conservation efforts by helping hatch, rear, and release native endangered or declining species, we could accomplish something truly unique.

A conservation model that restores wildlife, strengthens local food systems, earns Bitcoin, and makes conservation economically sustainable.

Sneak peek at HeatHarvest 2026: Satoshi’s Hatchery
“Proof of Hatch”
This season, we’re putting Bitcoin mining heat to work in a whole new way: poultry cultivation.

The mission is to use Bitcoin miners not only to hatch quail in custom-designed incubators, to carry them through the full early-life cycle, from incubation, to brooder, to overwintering habitat, with Bitcoin miners serving as the primary heat source from start to finish.

The system will include custom automatic turners, humidity control, temperature monitoring, and control modules designed specifically around Bitcoin miner heat recovery.

The builds will include two incubator variations: Mini, designed for small-scale 6-egg hatching, and Max, designed for up to 50 eggs. We’ll also be developing a Bitcoin-heated brooder with capacity for up to 100 quail chicks, along with a one-of-a-kind Bitcoin heated adult quail habitat designed to complete the cycle and start it all over again.

Proof of Hatch begins.

@maximalistus Sure, if that’s something people want to see, we could livestream the hatchings.

Not bananas at all, this year’s HeatHarvest is an incredible educational opportunity.

It brings together so many areas of learning in a way that can genuinely capture students attention: quail biology, thermodynamics, engineering, food systems, energy use, data tracking, custom PCB design, firmware, software, automation, real-world problem solving and so much more.

The best part is that it creates a learning environment built around curiosity and fun. Students won’t just hear about science, they’ll get to see it, measure it, build it, question it, and understand how different systems connect through practical Bitcoin heat-capture applications.

This year, we also want to focus much more heavily on documentation and educational structure so that people in academia may eventually be able to adapt these concepts and lessons into real curriculum material.

@ahmedshubber25 The foundation of unimaginable innovation is often forged in environments of scarce resources and tight budgets, yet boundless potential. It's in that very struggle that individuals are shaped into visionaries capable of building futures that most cannot even imagine.

[Bee Evolved @BeeEvolved]

We could put together this fairly quickly on Geyser if there's enough interest, perhaps starting with a small production run of around 30-50 units, designed and manufactured in the USA and North America. It could be one of the few devices featuring a majority of components made or sourced right here in the USA. Open-source Bitcoin mining hardware manufactured in the USA, has a nice ring to it. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/13cPdkeIAF
