Bitcoin Mining In Australia 52:14

2 päivää sitten52:14

52:14

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Daniel Leslie, CTO of Coin Safe Limited, joins us to discuss Bitcoin mining in Australia. Despite Australia's massive size, its mining footprint remains tiny at around 100MW total capacity. Daniel explains how Australia's renewable-heavy grid (35-39%) creates price volatility and operational challenges similar to Texas. He shares insights on how miners could become crucial grid-balancing assets by consuming excess renewable energy and acting as "buyers of last resort." With abundant resources and a secure business environment, Australia could follow Texas's path to becoming a mining powerhouse.

Check out the Blockspace Media store today! Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For today’s Bitcoin Stock Show, MARA’s Chief Strategy Officer Adam Swick joins to discuss the forward-looking plans CEO Fred Thiel mentioned in MARA’s 2024 earnings call. Specifically, Swick unpacks claims that MARA wants to offshore 50% of its operations by 2028 by entering into similar joint-ventures as its Zero Two partnership in the UAE. Swick also speaks to the company’s goal to own more energy-generating assets in the United States and how it would finance such purchases. Finally, why MARA is so hot on the new ASIC manufacturer, Auradine, and whether or not we should expect MARA to enter the inference field for AI compute. You can listen to MARA's 2024 earnings call here. • Mara went from 0% to 70% owned mining assets • Q4 revenue: $214.4M with lower operating costs • Target: 50% of operations outside US by 2028 • Wind farm acquisition extends life of older miners • Auradine partnership delivering quality ASIC miners • Focus on AI inference rather than training models Timestamps: 00:00 Start 03:53 MARA lowering OpEx 06:24 Trend toward owned assets 09:01 Zero cost mining 14:17 Debt financing BTC purchases 19:27 Considering power production 22:01 Foreign mining sites 27:08 Has Africa been sufficiently de-risked? 30:25 Free-er energy markets vs controlled 33:57 Auradine 40:40 AI & HPC 👉 CleanSpark (CLSK), America’s Bitcoin Miner!

Today, hosts Colin and Will dive into the ongoing saga of US Customs and Border Protection seizing Bitcoin mining hardware at various ports of entry. Initially targeting Antminer units in late 2024, the seizures expanded to include equipment from Whatsminer and Canaan, costing some companies millions in detained assets. The hosts explore how industry lobbying - particularly through Senator Lummis and connections to the Trump administration - has begun to resolve the situation, along with theories about why these unprecedented seizures occurred in the first place.

Bitdeer’s Power Plant, Trump’s ETFs, Softbank’s $50m Cipher Bet, and Nebraska’s Mining Tax 41:27

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Colin, Will, and Matt are back at it this week with a packed docket of news. Bitdeer has acquired the rights for a $90 million, 101 MW natural gas power plant in Alberta in a bid to become even more vertically integrated, and Cipher cashes in on Project Stargate with a $50 million investment from Softbank. Plus, two cheers for taxation (but not actually): Russia has codified a tax code for bitcoin miners, and a Nebraska Senator introduces a bill for a $0.025 per kw excise tax on bitcoin miners. For our last news item, Trump wants to launch bitcoin ETFs, because memecoins just weren’t sophisticated enough. And for this week’s cry corner, why Ethereum is no longer deflationary and what a croissant can tell us about the future of ETH issuance (seriously).
