Hey there, Freaks. Is this thing on? It's your boy, Marty Ben, here to introduce this week's episode of Tales from the Crypt.

Getting this episode out a little bit late on a Saturday morning here, had a busy, busy week, recorded three podcasts in 24 hours between Thursday and Friday with this one, being the second of the three.

Sat down with Whit Gibbs, co-founder of Hash Rate Rate OS and the co-host of the Hash Rate podcast.

Witt came across my radar on Monday.

Actually, somebody forwarded me the most recent episode of the Hash Rate podcast from last week.

And they were talking a lot about shot 256 mining and A6

and what's going to happen around the halving,

with S-9s being moonlighted,

would also mention that he was going to be in New York later that week,

so I'd like the conversation you guys had on that podcast

revolving around ASIC miners.

I'd like to shoot the shit about mining, because I think mining is something, again,

that I'm infinitely fascinated by in this space.

I think it's something that's underscored and very underappreciated.

A lot of people overlook it for software.

I think this Bitcoin revolution is as much as a hardware revolution as it is a software revolution.

And I don't think mining gets enough tick on this show.

So I invited Witt in to talk about mining and what he's been doing,

hash rate OS.

They create software to monitor mining operations for miners.

So we talked a lot about the mining landscape, different types of mining, GPU mining,

ASIC mining.
