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.

Harvest Day, Greenhouse Yields!
Results of our HeatHarvest 2025 greenhouse experiment, where we put recovered Bitcoin mining heat to work growing throughout the cold winter months.
The harvest? Approximately 60 pounds of purple sweet potatoes from just twelve 10 gallon grow bags.
Successfully started pumpkins, apple trees, pear trees, and avocado trees inside the greenhouse, with some heirloom apple trees already reaching approximately 3 feet tall.

In October 2025, we planted purple sweet potato slips in the small HeatHarvest greenhouse, using supplemental heat recovered from Bitcoin mining to help maintain growing conditions throughout the colder months, from October 2025 through April 2026.
Fast forward to harvest day, and those plants produced approximately 60 pounds of purple sweet potatoes!
What makes this especially exciting is the scale of the experiment. The entire harvest came from just twelve 10-gallon grow bags inside a small greenhouse, demonstrating the potential of combining small scale food production with Bitcoin mining heat recovery.
Now imagine scaling this concept beyond a small greenhouse...
Imagine a larger, self sufficient greenhouse capable of producing enough potatoes and other crops to help feed an entire family throughout the year, with supplemental heating provided by recovered Bitcoin mining heat.
Or take the concept even further, scaling it into commercial greenhouses and industrial agricultural operations where recovered heat could help extend growing seasons, support year round food production, and reduce conventional heating expenses.
What makes this approach particularly interesting is the potential to create two forms of value from the same energy input, Bitcoin revenue and useful thermal energy.
Instead of viewing Bitcoin mining heat as waste, we can begin treating it as a resource that supports food production, improves energy utilization, and potentially makes agricultural operations more economically sustainable.
Beyond Sweet Potatoes, a few additional experiments!
The sweet potatoes weren't the only things growing inside the HeatHarvest greenhouse!
As a side experiment, we also started pumpkins, avocados, and apple and pear trees, exploring how the greenhouse's supplemental Bitcoin generated heat could support seed germination and early plant development across a variety of crops.
One particularly exciting result has been the apple trees grown from heirloom seeds, which have already reached approximately 3 feet in height!
These experiments open the door to even more possibilities, from starting fruit trees and preparing seedlings for outdoor planting to supporting plants through colder seasons and extending the productive capabilities of greenhouses.
A small scale experiment with much bigger possibilities.

HeatHarvest 2026: Satoshi’s Hatchery "Proof Of Hatch" , Move-In Day!
Excited to officially announce the launch of HeatHarvest 2026: Satoshi’s Hatchery!
Season Objectives: Demonstrate how waste heat generated by Bitcoin mining can be captured and repurposed into a valuable source of thermal energy. Through practical experimentation and engineering, we aim to develop and refine efficient, scalable heat recovery systems that can support agriculture, wildlife conservation, sustainable food production, and other applications requiring reliable heating.
This season, we're putting that concept to work by building a complete, heat integrated quail production system. From incubating eggs and hatching, to brooding, raising mature quail. The goal is to utilize Bitcoin generated heat throughout the entire life cycle. Once the first generation reaches maturity, the process begins again.
Potential applications extend far beyond a hatchery.
Imagine wildlife conservation programs that use Bitcoin generated heat to incubate eggs, raise threatened native species, and support population restoration efforts. At the same time, those mining operations could generate Bitcoin revenue to help offset the costs of running the conservation program.
Imagine small farms and agricultural operations using the same approach to support sustainable food production, heat greenhouses, brood livestock, and maintain temperature controlled environments. These systems could be scaled from small, independent installations to much larger agricultural and conservation facilities.
The underlying principle remains the same regardless of scale, capture heat that would otherwise go to waste and turn it into something productive.
What makes this especially compelling is the opportunity to create two forms of value from the same energy input. Bitcoin mining can generate revenue while its waste heat supports an entirely separate productive activity. When thoughtfully engineered, these applications can complement one another, improving overall energy utilization and helping offset operating expenses.
Giving old technology a new purpose..
Another important part of this year's project is the commitment to reducing electronic waste by recycling, repurposing, and giving obsolete technology a second life whenever possible.
We'll be exploring creative ways to transform discarded equipment into functional components of the hatchery. This includes repurposing old 3D printer enclosures into incubators and brooders, finding new applications for retired Bitcoin mining hardware, and identifying other outdated electronics and materials that can be adapted for productive use.
We'll be documenting the process, sharing what works, identifying what doesn't, and improving the system as we go. From the hatchery's foundation and construction to the integration of mining hardware, heat recovery, recycled components, incubation, brooding, and sustainable quail production, the goal is to develop something practical, repeatable, and scalable.
The possibilities are enormous, whether it's producing food, supporting wildlife conservation, heating agricultural facilities, reducing electronic waste, or developing entirely new applications for recovered thermal energy.
Thank you to our returning sponsors, who are sponsoring HeatHarvest for a second consecutive year!

Bitcoin mining is one of the first industries where the waste energy can be captured, reused, and transformed into real-world impact.
Heat that would normally be wasted can incubate life, warm greenhouses, support food production, reduce energy waste.
It becomes proof-of-work that can change lives, strengthen communities, support rural regions, and bring financial access to people and places the legacy banking system has failed to reach, while turning wasted energy into real-world value, food, heat, infrastructure, resilience, and life.
Capturing Bitcoin mining heat and turning it into food can be as easy as pumpkin pie.

Replying to @BeeEvolved
Small update from the HeatHarvest greenhouse: two varieties of giant pumpkins have begun germinating, and with a plan to cross-pollinate them. Also started apple tree seeds and chamomile, both are already sprouting. It’s really exciting to see springtime growth happening in the middle of winter. Bitcoin heat truly is incredible.

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.
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.
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.
