But imagine when you want to warm yourself up in a cold time, instead of plunging a simple heater in, you have to deal with a machine which might even need to connect to internet to work (if looking at current IoT devices is any indication). I don't like to deal with such a complexity, unless they make it so simple that I can gift a crypto heater to my suburban grandma and not worry about installing it for her.

I’m sure it would still generate heat still without doing anything other than plugging it in.. Stick a LTE chip in there as a fallback to mine for the company’s pool. Would probably make enough money to offset the cost.
