@tylerkstevens @max_guise @protomining Absolutely!

[Perry Hothi @perryhtee]

10 years from now Proto Rig will still be running.
The hashboards will have changed.
The firmware will have changed.
The world around Bitcoin will have changed.

The mission? Still the same. ⛏️

Less waste. Less downtime. More Bitcoin.

EXCLUSIVE: Block's Proto Miner W/ Perry Hothi:

"No one starts out planning on being second place."

⚡️ 14.1 joules per hash efficiency rating
⚡️ 12kW power consumption per unit
⚡️ Single-phase power control
⚡️ Over 800 TH/s per unit

Large-scale mining isn’t just about deploying next-gen machines; it’s about designing systems that can scale efficiently while minimizing downtime and costs. Some thoughts on modular design and the future of mining: https://t.co/g9VPYadMqA

[Core Scientific @Core_Scientific]

#Bitcoin mining is evolving.

Core Scientific and @protomining are defining the next generation of mining technology, hardware, and infrastructure.

$CORZ CDO @russellcann and CTO Larry Kom recently took the stage alongside Proto Team at @blocks Solution Architect @perryhtee and @TXblockchain_'s Founder and President @lee_bratcher. You can watch the full @NABSummit panel here: https://t.co/wdYCJb9qei

[Perry Hothi @perryhtee]

Got a chance to discuss the mining landscape with @Core_Scientific and the exciting stuff we are doing at @protomining def worth a listen.

EXCLUSIVE: Block’s New ASIC Miner With Core Scientific and Proto

On today’s show, we have an exclusive with @protomining and @Core_Scientific, who recently announced a collaboration on a new ASIC chip design. Core Scientific–one of the largest Bitcoin miners in the world–will be buying 15 EH/s of chips to make custom units. Meanwhile, Proto will be working on selling more chips and a custom form factor of its own.

@OGBTC @OneTrueKyyng We became brothers while temporarily incarcerated in Kenya 😉

@OneTrueKyyng @OGBTC lol 50?

[Proto @protomining]

Earlier today at the @NABSummit. @perryhtee (Proto), @russellcann, Larry Kom (@Core_Scientific), and moderator @lee_bratcher (@TXblockchain_) shared game-changing innovations in mining:

���� Replaceable hashboards cut downtime.
💰 Modular designs lower long-term costs.
🏗️ Miner chassis become part of the data center.

Proto’s hardware meets Core Scientific’s operational expertise. Smarter, sustainable mining is here.

[Perry Hothi @perryhtee]

@justh0dl @BeeEvolved @blocks Intel to speed up software and hardware development. Then add Block ASICS for the real magic.

[Perry Hothi @perryhtee]

Here’s what we’ve been up to
3nm ✅
15 Exahashes ✅
One of the largest Hashrate agreements✅
New upgradable platform ✅

Boom!!

@theMiningPod Couldn’t find something other than his Highschool year book pic @ePICBlockchain

[Perry Hothi @perryhtee]

@OGBTC What exactly is nonsense? All seems good to me. I’m thinking the guy who helped design PlayStation silicon may know a thing or two. Plus a few mining ASICS. Some I’ve used myself.

[Perry Hothi @perryhtee]

@penny_ether Only thing to keep in mind in the mining comparison, $/mw buildout costs for AI infrastructure is a lot higher than it is for mining. Then add in hvac in elec costs.

[Perry Hothi @perryhtee]

@OGBTC Turbo on wrong side for SR or CA? Not KA. What engine?

[Perry Hothi @perryhtee]

@theBTCMiningGuy @penny_ether Each 20K gate SHA pipeline does one round of SHA operation. You need to do 124 rounds to do a hash. So, it is not 100K pipelines, it is 1008 pipelines. If they operate at 1GHz (which they don't), ASIC hashrate will be ~1TH/s

Hits right in the feels

[Coinbase 🛡️ @coinbase]

The fourth #Bitcoin halving is almost here.
And a proper thank you is in order to the ones impacted the most.

So, to the miners…thank you for moving money forward.

@OGBTC Not symmetrical? Boo
