The Future Of Mining Hardware
Where is mining hardware headed? Can mining and AI really work together? Find out this and more on The Mining Pod this week.
ABOUT
The hardware game is becoming more competitive, with new entrants like Jack Dorsey’s Block, Marathon Digital-backed Auradine, and more. And then there’s this whole AI thing that mining CEOs and others keep talking about!
To make it straight, we brought on ePIC Blockchain co-founder Earl Mai to discuss ePIC’s hardware product line, the difficulties of getting a hardware startup off the ground, what it is like to compete against Bitmain, and how mining–and AI–could converge together over the next few years!
