Undermine 2025 - The Heatpunk Summit
Shaping the Future of Electric Heating and Bitcoin Mining
Overview
Undermine is a groundbreaking two-day conference dedicated to the rapidly emerging field of hashrate heating, harnessing Bitcoin miners to power electric heating infrastructure. The Hashrate Heatpunks are a group of bitcoiners undermining the status-quo. Mining doesn't have to be centralized in pub-co mega facilities or massive mining pools - and home hashing doesn't have to be exclusive to the ideologically motivated. Instead, we can bring mining to all via heating appliances and home devices.
As the Bitcoin mining industry undergoes a transformative phase, the potential to unlock additional utility through heating has become clear. The 2025 Heatpunk Summit brings together the brightest minds and hands-on builders, tinkerers, plebs, engineers, tradespeople, contractors, and companies to collaborate on advancing home mining. By leveraging Bitcoin miners for heating, we can decentralize network hashrate, lower utility costs, and accelerate Bitcoin adoption as a neutral monetary asset.
Join us in shaping the future of energy and Bitcoin at the forefront of this exciting new industry.
