Heatbit unveils Bitwater, a water heater that mines Bitcoin
- —Bitwater delivers up to 34 TH/s at 12 J/TH, drawing roughly 408 watts at peak
- —The element replaces a standard resistive coil inside an existing electric water tank
- —Preorders opened October 22, 2026; first shipments are slated for Q1 2027
- —It supports pooled mining with payouts in satoshis and a solo lottery mode for full block rewards
Why it matters: Pushing mining back into ordinary homes could spread hashrate across independent operators and lower the barrier to entry for retail participants.
