After calculating the thermal energy required to raise the water temperature, I found that mining cryptocurrency with a Raspberry Pi only produces a negligible profit, making it a costly venture.
Running my Raspberry Pi miner for 12 hours yielded just 0.00000006 XMR, valued at 0.0012 cents, far less than the electricity cost of 0.41 cents over the same period.
The main takeaway is that even with innovations like Raspberry Pi miners, the economics of cryptocurrency mining remain unfavorable due to high operational costs versus meager returns.
While some might use crypto mining to warm their homes, the underlying financial inefficiency of this approach is stark, with electricity costs exceeding mining returns.
