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!
