Ep. 45 BONUS Mid-Sized Bitcoin Mining Power Relationships with Wilson Mining

Hey everyone, welcome to this week’s release of the Hashrate Happy Hour Podcast, powered by Giga Energy.

This Monday release is a special bonus episode where I am sitting down with the Wilson brothers, Eric & Steven, the founders of Wilson Mining located in Iowa.

Man oh man did we have a great conversation about the smaller class of bitcoin miner and the challenges that they face when working with power companies and how steep the learning curve is when the power companies are not excited to work with you.

We also dive into what the perfect power company relationship would look like and how important good infrastructure is, especially up here in the northern climates.

This is some really great insight into the “Horse Class” of bitcoin miners to borrow Bob Burnett’s classification system.
