Mobile Bitcoin Mining on 'Waste Gas', and The Coming Energy Revolution w/ Austin Storms of Great American Mining

Bitcoin Rapid-Fire - A podcast by John Vallis

Categories:

My original guest today had to cancel, so I reached into the Twitterverse to see if anyone wanted to jump in for an impromptu chat. Thankfully, Austin Storms, Director of Engineering and Product for Great American Mining, volunteered himself! Over the last few years, it's become apparent that the bitcoin mining process represents some very interesting opportunities for energy producers and distributors, that could very well re-shape the energy (and financial) industry as we know it. As a result, it's an area of the bitcoin ecosystem that I'm always keen to learn more about, and it just so happens that Austin is one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry to discuss it with.    Enjoy!    --    From GAM website:   'Great American Mining monetizes wasted, stranded and undervalued gas throughout the oil and gas industry by using it as a power generation source for bitcoin mining. We bring the market and our expertise to the molecule. Our solutions make producers more efficient and profitable while helping to reduce flaring and venting throughout the oil and gas value chain.'   WEBSITE: https://gam.ai/index.html  TWITTER (GAM): https://gam.ai/  TWITTER (Austin): https://twitter.com/austorms    More from me:         TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA          YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg          MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex          INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY     The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.
