Welcome back to the Mining Pod! Today we’re joined by Skot, the creator of the open source Bitcoin mining project Bitaxe! Launched a bit over a year ago, Bitaxe is a simple way to bring mining back to the household by taking a chip from state of the art Bitcoin miners like the Bitmain S21 and gluing it with a bunch of other parts into a mini-home miner! We talk with Skot about the origin of the idea, why he wanted to make something like the Bitaxe, the value of home mining and the future of mega miners like Riot, Marathon or others.
