Blockstream’s ASIC Mining Note With Adam Back
Manage episode 439115523 series 2592246
Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today we are joined by Adam Back, cryptographer and CEO of Blockstream. Well known for its sidechain software Liquid, among other projects, Blockstream is actually a large private Bitcoin miner. In today’s show, we go through Blockstream mining with Back, including its profile as a miner (energy, locations, fleet). Then we dive into the BMN2, a new financial instrument to help people mine Bitcoin without ever touching a Bitcoin miner! Note, this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
