Summary
We talk to one of Bitcoin mining’s leading foot soldiers, The Coin Dad, about deploying hashrate!
Welcome back to the show! This week, we’re joined by ‘The Coin Dad,’ one of the familiar faces around Bitcoin mining conferences (and mines!) with an extensive history in the small, young sector. The Coin Dad takes us through his personal life–including an overseas deployment to the Middle East–to his time entering Bitcoin mining, including deploying tens of thousands of machines for some of the largest mining companies and fabricating entire container designs. We fininish with a conversation about the Bitcoin Mining Museum, a passion project begun multiple years ago to preserve the history of Bitcoin mining hashrate!
