如果你需要给家里供暖，电脑产生的热量就不算浪费。如果你在的地方用电取暖，那电脑的热量就不是浪费。用电脑产热和用电取暖成本相当。
如果你有比电更便宜的取暖方式，那浪费的只是成本差价。
如果是夏天还开着空调，那就是双倍浪费。
比特币挖矿最终会流向成本最低的地方。也许是寒冷、用电取暖的地区，在那里它基本等于免费。
英文原文
The heat from your computer is not wasted if you need to heat your home. If you're using electric heat where you live, then your computer's heat isn't a waste. It's equal cost if you generate the heat with your computer.
If you have other cheaper heating than electric, then the waste is only the difference in cost.
If it's summer and you're using A/C, then it's twice.
Bitcoin generation should end up where it's cheapest. Maybe that will be in cold climates where there's electric heat, where it would be essentially free.
