In this HashrateUp Focus episode, Jesse breaks down the real economics behind Bitcoin mining on solar — when it works, when it doesn’t, and why it only makes sense under very specific conditions.He walks through real numbers comparing revenue-share and fixed-price deals, explains why uptime and hardware choice matter, and shows why old, cheap ASICs and truly stranded power are key for solar mining to be viable.If you’ve ever wondered whether mining on solar actually makes financial sense, this episode gives you the data to decide.📲 HASHRATEUP HARDWARE DEALS💬 Telegram: https://t.me/hashrateup🌐 Website: https://hashrateup.com🛠 Sponsored byHashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.

In this HashrateUp Africa Summit special, Jesse sits down with Erik Hersman, CEO and Co-Founder of Gridless — the company pioneering community-powered Bitcoin mining across Africa.Recorded in Zambia after the Africa Bitcoin Mining Summit 2025, Erik explains how Bitcoin mining transforms stranded hydro energy into productive load that powers villages, stabilizes mini-grids, and drives rural electrification.They also discuss Outpost Power, Gridless’ new energy arm, the economics of revenue sharing, and why traditional financiers still struggle with ideology over economics when it comes to Bitcoin in Africa.If you want to understand how Bitcoin turns wasted watts into wealth — this is the conversation.🛠 Sponsored byHashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.

In this HashrateUp Focus episode, Jesse breaks down the dynamics of Bitcoin mining hashprice — what happens when it goes up ⬆️ or down ⬇️, and how difficulty, hashrate, and Bitcoin price interact to shape miner revenue.Learn how different ASIC models perform under changing conditions, why difficulty increases get harder as the network grows, and how to calculate your break-even point.🛠 Sponsored byHashbranch – Code: HASHRATEUP100SoloMining.de – Code: HASHRATEUP📲 Used ASIC deals on Telegram: https://t.me/hashrateup

In this HashrateUp Africa Summit special, Jesse speaks with Siddhartha (Sid) Parmar, Co-Founder of Quantum Hash Ventures.Quantum Hash is building off-grid Bitcoin mining sites powered by stranded hydro in Zambia. Sid explains the struggle with bureaucracy at government-owned utilities, why independent power producers (IPPs) are the real unlock for scaling, and how Bitcoin mining can drive rural electrification and energy growth across Africa.🛠 Sponsored byHashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.

ASIC prices are as cheap as ever — but the key is to measure them in Bitcoin, not dollars.In this Focus episode, Jesse unpacks the Luxor ASIC Price Index, explains efficiency tiers, and shows why denominating in sats per terahash is crucial when deciding to buy or host miners.🛠 Sponsored by Hashbranch (code HASHRATEUP100) and SoloMining.de (code HASHRATEUP)📲 USED ASIC SALEShttps://t.me/hashrateup

The first HashrateUp Focus episode is here.Jesse breaks down Hashprice — what it is, how it’s calculated, and why it matters more than Bitcoin price for miners. From network difficulty and block rewards to fees and revenue per kWh, this short episode explains the key metric for mining profitability.🛠 Sponsored by:Hashbranch – code HASHRATEUP100SoloMining.de – code HASHRATEUP📲 Used ASIC Deals: https://t.me/hashrateup

🎧 HASHRATE UP #052 – How Our Pool Pays More w/ SunilSunil (“Captain Hashrate”) joins Jesse to explain the story behind Our Pool. We cover why two miners launched a new pool, how their RT-PPS model routes hashrate to the highest bidder in real time, and why they focus on fair, transparent payouts. Sunil also shares thoughts on retail auto-payouts, address vs account mining, challenges, and the role of transparency in Bitcoin mining.🔥 SPONSORED BYHashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.

Medi Naseri, CEO & Co-Founder of LōD Technologies, returns to HashrateUp to share how Bitcoin mining has shifted from raw hashrate competition to an energy-intelligent IoT platform.We dive into the 5-layer energy playbook—real-time pricing, coincident peak strategy, demand response, ancillary services, and compliance—and explore why peak ≠ price in ERCOT. Medi also explains how Bitcoin mining and AI inference loads can complement each other as flexible compute, filling valleys in demand.He reflects on LōD’s rebrand from Lincoin, the lessons from growing organically, and their new product CLōD, aimed at bringing energy intelligence into AI governance.🔥 Sponsored by:Hashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.
