THE MINING POD: August Miner Updates, Japan’s Largest Utility is Mining BTC, Fractal Bitcoin’s Feverish First Week, and Podcasts on the Blockchain (?)
We’ve got a mixed bag of news for y’all in this week’s news roundup, including public miner operational updates from August, Japan’s largest power company mining bitcoin, Fractal Bitcoin’s rip-roaring first week, and the intersection of alternative history and shitcoinery (yes really). Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Will and Colin hop on for another duo pod this week for one of the most eclectic roundups yet. The numbers are in for August for the public bitcoin mining world, and these companies are slowly (but steadily) expanding their hashrate, while also collectively selling more than 1,200 BTC over the month. In a testament to bitcoin mining’s utility for utilities, Japan’s largest power company, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), is mining bitcoin with a portion of its renewable energy assets. Finally, the lads breakdown the juicy details of sidechain Fractal Bitcoin’s first week. And in this week’s cry corne – in which Darryl Cooper (Martyr Made) gets BSV-pilled – they touch on the irony of an alternative historian storing his podcasts on a blockchain launched by a man who tried rewriting the history of Bitcoin.Timestamps:00:00 Start02:05 Difficulty update05:03 August miner updates11:29 Tokyo mining BTC!17:49 Fractal Bitcoin update25:12 Cry Corner: Darryl Cooper BSV pilledPublished twice weekly, "The Mining Pod" interviews the best builders and operators in the Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining landscape.
