The Future of Solar-Powered Bitcoin Mining

This is an episode of Compass Live hosted by Compass Mining. In this livestream, Compass talks with two engineers about the dynamics of the solar power industry and how can power bitcoin mining.

Mining powered by "renewable" or "green" energy sources is a hot topic. This discussion covers the incentives driving solar power's growth in the US, uptime and profitability considerations for miners, and how much hashrate will be powered by solar in the future. ???? Follow our guests on Twitter.
