HashrateUp - A Bitcoin Mining Podcast

• [FOCUS] I Unlocked Extra Hashrate With a Simple Trick

  Firmware has become one of the most important levers for miners operating in today’s low-hashprice environment — and in this HashrateUp Focus episode, Jesse breaks down exactly why.He explains how firmware fundamentally changes the way an ASIC performs its calculations, why underclocking can keep older-gen machines profitable, and how overclocking unlocks additional revenue when market conditions improve. Using BrainsOS and LuxOS as concrete examples, Jesse compares default firmware to custom setups and shows how miners can improve efficiency, boost hash-rate output, and optimize joules per terahash with just a simple software flash.The episode also covers warranty considerations, dev-fee economics, pool discount structures, and why hosters can often install firmware for you with minimal downtime. From S19J Pro tuning to squeezing extra performance out of S21 units, this breakdown gives miners a practical framework for deciding when custom firmware makes sense — and how to use it responsibly.Whether you’re running a single machine at home or optimizing a larger fleet, this episode offers a clear, actionable guide to extracting more value from your ASICs.🛠 Sponsored byHashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.Code: HASHRATEUP100https://hashbranch.comSoloMining – Home & solo mining made easy.Code: HASHRATEUPhttps://solomining.deAltair Technology – Buy Bitcoin Mining Solutions.https://altair.technology📲 HASHRATEUP HARDWARE DEALSHardware sales, advisory, hosting & site brokerage.Telegram: https://t.me/hashrateup

• Why Finland Is Becoming a Mining Superpower w/ Daniel Jonsson

  Finland is emerging as one of the most attractive Bitcoin mining destinations in the world — and in this episode, Jesse sits down with Daniel Jonsson (MGMT) to unpack why.They discuss how Finland’s unique energy mix of 41% nuclear baseload, fast-growing wind capacity, and strong hydro creates some of the most miner-friendly power dynamics in Europe. Daniel explains how flexible operations and grid balancing can outperform traditional 100% uptime mining, why older-gen ASICs suddenly make sense again, and how miners can benefit from zero or even negative power prices.The conversation explores Finland’s development pipeline, second-life hardware strategies, heat reuse with storage, the challenges of Iceland’s shifting policy landscape, and how Daniel is structuring a Luxembourg-based digital infrastructure fund aimed at capturing these emerging opportunities.Whether you’re scaling a site, evaluating European power markets, or studying the future of flexible mining, this episode offers a highly practical deep dive into the Nordic advantage.Hashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.Code: HASHRATEUP100https://hashbranch.comSoloMining – Home & solo mining made easy.Code: HASHRATEUPhttps://solomining.deAltair Technology – Buy Bitcoin Mining Solutions.https://altair.technologyHardware sales, advisory, hosting & site brokerage.Telegram: https://t.me/hashrateup🛠 Sponsored by📲 HASHRATEUP HARDWARE DEALS

• $36 Hashprice Survival Guide w/ Tom Merkle

  Hashprice is down, Bitcoin is under $100k, and many miners are stressed. In this episode, Jesse talks with Tom Merkle from Hashbranch about how good operators survive these conditions — and why low hashprice can actually create better entry points. (At release, hashprice even sits at $36/PH/day — Nov 20, 2025.)Tom explains what Hashbranch really does for hosting sites: filling rack space, handling support tickets, coordinating deployments, and fixing the communication problems that often hurt both hosts and clients. They also walk through the “core four” of mining: planning your numbers, finding the right host, getting machines set up the right way, and keeping clean records.Tom shares a real example of redeploying 13,000 older S19s to a cheaper site to keep them profitable, and they finish with the new Hashbranch dashboard that gives miners clear visibility into costs, uptime, and machine status.🛠 Sponsored byHashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.Code: HASHRATEUP100👉 https://hashbranch.comSoloMining.de – Home & solo mining made easy.Code: HASHRATEUP👉 https://solomining.deAltair Technology – Buy Bitcoin Mining Solutions.👉 https://altair.technology📲 HASHRATEUP HARDWARE DEALS💬 Telegram: https://t.me/hashrateup

• 057 Why Small “Wild Horse” Sites Outperform Mega Mines w/ Bob Burnett

  In this episode, Jesse sits down with Bob Burnett, founder and CEO of Barefoot Mining and co-host of The Bitcoin Boomers, to break down how “wild horse” off-grid mining sites stay profitable even at a brutal hashprice.Bob explains how Barefoot builds small-to-medium sites on hydro, anaerobic digestion and stranded natural gas, how they negotiate with oil producers, and why their fully-loaded cost to mine remains well below $50k per Bitcoin. They also cover uptime, gas processing, engine standardization and the operational practices that keep their sites resilient.On the hardware side, Jesse and Bob discuss ASIC total cost of ownership, warranty realities, and why uptime matters more than marginal efficiency. They touch on new players like Proto and Auradine, and explore the potential comeback of home mining and repurposed S9-style units.Bob Burnett on X: https://x.com/boomer_btcBarefoot Mining: https://www.barefootmining.com/🛠 Sponsored byHashbranch – Code: HASHRATEUP100SoloMining.de – Code: HASHRATEUPAltair Technology📲 HASHRATEUP HARDWARE DEALSTelegram: https://t.me/hashrateup
