Thank you great interview..

Another Great Podcast. Keep up the Great Work

[@KYFHOme]

I like this German guy and his questions. And diversifying a mining business and leveraging the infrastructure is an interesting idea. But please explain this "send hashes" thing. Is hash being used to exchange value? It may be worth having a show on this concept.

[@JesseP1409]

Hey man! Appreciate the compliments! Check out the description. By "send hashes" I mean to support the show by sending some hashrate to the worker address in the episode description. You can send hashrate to the pool and use the "workername" to send a message :)

[@AdrianBlackburnDesteni]

Wow I am a bitcoiner since 2015 but I really don’t know much about mining, interesting to see what goes on in the background.
