🎧 HashrateUp #42 – From Flare Gas to 500+ MW: Inside Giga Energy’s Bitcoin Mining Infrastructure

In this episode, Jesse is joined by Collin Kelly, Enterprise Account Manager at Giga Energy, to unpack how the company evolved from flare gas Bitcoin mining to delivering institutional-grade infrastructure across the globe.

Collin shares his journey from building his own mining startup to leading enterprise deals at Luxor and now at Giga. He explains what makes high-quality mining containers stand out, why after-sales service is a serious advantage, and how trends like hydro cooling, ASIC standardization, and smart infrastructure are shaping the next wave of Bitcoin mining.

🎙 Topics include:
– Giga Energy’s origin in flare gas mining
– Air-cooled vs hydro vs immersion containers
– ASIC compatibility and 2U form factors
– Hosting ROI and turnkey site sales
– Why most infrastructure fails without local support
– What sets Giga apart: warranty, spare parts, and service

Whether you run a 20 MW farm or are planning your first ASICs, this episode will sharpen your perspective on what it takes to scale mining infrastructure the right way.
