Really enjoyed being invited to the Mining Grid event yesterday.
It was great to spend time with people building around Bitcoin, mining and self-custody and to see the team share what they’re working on with their non-custodial wallet and the wider Mining Race ecosystem.
Bitcoin keeps evolving, but the idea of giving people more control and easier access to the network is still at the heart of it.
Thanks to @MiningGrid for the invitation and for a great evening. ⚡️₿
One year in, Mining COREs evolves.
@MiningGrid marks the milestone with COREs Evolution, upgrading the original Racing model.
It is going to push the mining race towards a more competitive, accessible future for Bitcoin mining worldwide.
It's always a busy week in #bitcoin, you won't want to miss the stories driving its adoption and growth behind the scenes!
