<p>Hey everyone, welcome to this week’s release of the Watts & Blocks Podcast, powered by Giga Energy.</p> <p>This week on the show I had the pleasure of sitting down with Greg Beard the CEO at Stronghold Digital Mining. </p> <p>This was another one of those episodes where I have been a huge admirer of the business model of being a truly vertically integrated bitcoin miner and so for me this was a ton of fun to go deeper on how that all works at Stronghold. </p> <p>Greg gets really technical on the reclamation process and not only what the benefits are of doing that and how it is allowing the communities to reclaim huge swaths of land but also how the ash is being leveraged for carbon capture projects. </p> <p>This is one of those episodes that highlights exactly how bitcoin mining is a bolt on to an existing electrical producer which I am a firm believer that this business model is what the future of bitcoin mining will look like! And so with that, I hope that you enjoy my discussion with Greg Beard! </p> <p>You can find more about Stronghold Digital Mining: https://strongholddigitalmining.com/ </p> <p>You can find more about Stronghold Digital Mining on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/stronghold-digital-mining/ </p> <p>You can find more about Stronghold Digital Mining on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Stronghold_DM </p> <p>You can find Stronghold Digital Mining reclamation process video here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GbgnqqVoVYE </p> <p>--</p> <p>This show is managed by Foreman!</p> <p>Foreman helps you manage your entire bitcoin mining facility all from 1 dashboard: demand response and power controls to miner mapping and business intelligence. </p> <p>This is truly an invaluable tool for miner management as well as managing your curtailment strategy. </p> <p>Check them out at Foreman.mn</p> <p>--</p> <p>This show is powered by Giga Energy. </p> <p>Giga Energy is a vertically integrated bitcoin mining company that manufactures all of the electrical infrastructure needed to start mining bitcoin—whether that is medium voltage switchgear, PDUs, or power cables for your miners, the team at Giga Energy has you covered! </p> <p>Reach out to their sales team today for all of your electrical infrastructure needs at sales@gigaenergy.com and use the word Hashrate for the subject of the email to receive 5% off.</p> <p>--</p> <p>bitcoin, cryptocurrency, mining, energy consumption, renewable energy, sustainability, power grid, blockchain, technology, innovation, business, finance, investment, climate change, environment, energy efficiency, electricity production, utility companies, power companies, energy industry</p>

<p>Hey everyone, welcome to this week’s release of the Watts & Blocks Podcast, powered by Giga Energy.</p> <p>This week on the show I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sean Lawrie, the CSO and Principal at Lumerra. This was an especially fun conversation for me because Sean and I are really passionate about the same topics and both looking for ways to help usher bitcoin mining into utility companies. </p> <p>Right out of the gate we get to hear about Sean’s experience working with nuclear power plants explaining that bitcoin mining is a huge opportunity that they need to be evaluating, and we get into all sorts of discussion about how this was received and how different utilities are evaluating this opportunity. </p> <p>Sean rounds out the conversation walking us through what his new company is doing and how Lumerra is helping re-shape the training industry for utility companies and why that’s important. Sean and I had a bunch of fun on this episode and I would expect a round 2 in the very near future.</p> <p>You can find more about Lumerra on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lumerra/about/ </p> <p>You can find more about Sean Lawrie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-lawrie-651976/ </p> <p>--</p> <p>This show is managed by Foreman!</p> <p>Foreman helps you manage your entire bitcoin mining facility all from 1 dashboard: demand response and power controls to miner mapping and business intelligence. </p> <p>This is truly an invaluable tool for miner management as well as managing your curtailment strategy. </p> <p>Check them out at Foreman.mn</p> <p>--</p> <p>This show is powered by Giga Energy. </p> <p>Giga Energy is a vertically integrated bitcoin mining company that manufactures all of the electrical infrastructure needed to start mining bitcoin—whether that is medium voltage switchgear, PDUs, or power cables for your miners, the team at Giga Energy has you covered! </p> <p>Reach out to their sales team today for all of your electrical infrastructure needs at sales@gigaenergy.com and use the word Hashrate for the subject of the email to receive 5% off.</p> <p>--</p> <p>bitcoin, cryptocurrency, mining, energy consumption, renewable energy, sustainability, power grid, blockchain, technology, innovation, business, finance, investment, climate change, environment, energy efficiency, electricity production, utility companies, power companies, energy industry</p> <p><br></p>
