Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Advanced Crypto Services (ACS) Founder James Scaggs and Co-founder Will Middleton join to talk about all the pertinent operational considerations for bitcoin mining, including the biggest question of all: whether it’s better to buy or mine bitcoin. They touch on the repair side of the business, how some of these older generation ASICs are holding up, which models are the best bang for your buck, and common failure points for ASIC hardware.
