Snorkel hot‑tubs powered by mining rigs
Snorkel, a Pacific‑Northwest hot‑tub maker founded in 1979, has added a unique feature: a cedar tub heated by Bitcoin mining equipment. Owner Michael Diederich began accepting Bitcoin after a wager with his brother and later partnered with Dane Soja of Hashrate House to integrate two S19J Pro miners. The miners, drawing about 8 kW, raised the water temperature from cold to 104 °F (40 °C) in under four hours. The prototype earned an innovation award at the Heat Punk Summit in Denver and is on display there.
