Bitcoin Mining: Navigating the Difficulty
summary
Clean Spark announces it has tripled hash rate year‑over‑year and pursues M&A focused on distressed rural sites, buying grid and site assets and plugging in machines only when they run. Claims such as 30x a hash are verifiable on the pool but only after machines are live; power costs must include transmission, taxes and fees. AI work is paused pending concrete customers; build costs range ~$450k to $1M+ per MW. Network hashrate forecast 850–900 EH s.
