Introducing My New Venture: Bushmining

from HashrateUp - A Bitcoin Mining Podcast · host Jesse

🔗 Bush Mining:Website: https://bushmining.comIn this episode of HashrateUp, Jesse introduces Bush Mining, his new venture with partner Conrad, and walks through the live pilot project: a hydro-powered farm in South Africa's Eastern Cape that turns stranded, wasted power into Bitcoin mining revenue.Jesse breaks down the flexible-compute model that makes it work: a site survey identifies surplus power, metering and load controllers measure what's truly available, and ASIC miners soak up only the stranded energy that would otherwise be dumped as heat. Local needs always come first, the load follows the site, and the system can switch off from full load to near-zero in under 0.4 seconds the moment power is needed elsewhere. The conversation then opens up into the bigger picture: why so much renewable generation goes to waste, and how flexible Bitcoin mining can make otherwise unviable energy projects pencil out.Whether you operate a farm with excess solar, sit on stranded hydro, or want to build an energy asset that nobody could justify before, this one shows how surplus power becomes income, fully scalable from a single machine to half a megawatt in a shipping container.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Intro: introducing Bush Mining0:32 The idea: turning wasted power into revenue0:48 Flexible compute, wherever surplus exists1:05 The Eastern Cape pilot goes live1:24 How it works: surplus first, local needs always come first2:28 Switching off in under 0.4 seconds3:13 Power source, metering & flexible compute3:37 Remote operations & load following the site4:00 The pilot site4:36 Islanded grid: power that can't be sold5:18 From dump load to productive mining5:27 Scalability: one machine to a megawatt5:59 The 40-year-old hydro dam up close6:30 Existing dump load vs Bush Mining7:16 Customer portal preview & next steps7:24 Who should reach out🛠 Sponsored by:SoloMining, Home & solo mining made easyCode: HASHRATEUPhttps://solomining.deAltair Technology, Buy Bitcoin Mining SolutionsCode: HASHRATEUPhttps://altairtech.ioLuxor, Mining software, firmware & hashrate toolshttps://luxor.tech/📲 HashrateUp Hardware DealsTelegram: https://t.me/hashrateup📩 Learn Bitcoin Mining (Free 5 Day Course)https://hashrateup.com/newsletter-sign-up/
