That's not what I said.
I'm not "using power that would go to waste anyways", I'm generating heat that I would have needed anyways.
In other words, I need to add a little bit of heat to this room. I can either run a small space heater on Low and consume about 300W and get nothing but 300W of heat, or I can mine crypto and consume around 300W, generate the heat I wanted, and earn about $200/month on top of it.
In either case, I'm consuming 300W. I might as well make money in the process.
