The Proto miner hardware seems like a real step-change for ASICs. The reusable rig is amazing, now just swap out hashboards.
The modularity and openness (software and hardware) will allow everyone to do a lot more with them, and for a lot longer.
The rig is part of the infrastructure. The upgrade path is so much easier
Testing the first Bitaxe made in Kenya, from the PCB up!
It’s working. Big thanks to all the guys who made it happen from the community - Simon, Diviter, Kurt, and Gearbox
We call it “Bitshoka”, which is just Bitaxe in Swahili. :)
Playing with midjourney video. Impressive!

In Bitcoin mining, survival comes down to margins and margins come down to energy costs.
While most miners race to secure ever-cheaper electricity contracts, Gridless takes a different route:
we mine exclusively on stranded power, using a revenue share model that eliminates direct energy costs entirely.
This gives us a structural advantage in volatile markets, allowing us to stay online when others shut down, and to profit even at historically low hashprices.
