Two entrepreneurs have figured out how to heat their homes for free: bitcoin mining. Bitcoin transactions require a lot of processing power, which creates a lot of heat, so Ilya Frolov and Dmitry Tolmachyov built a wooden cottage in the Russian Siberian town of Irkutsk and are heating it with two bitcoin mines. The men pocket about $430 a month from bitcoin transactions, while keeping the 20-square-meter space warm.
