Editor's Note

Retail mining hashrate is growing fast. Compass not only announced a new 100 MW hosting facility in Ontario, but Compass customer hashrate grew another 9% this week following last week's 14% jump. Compass customer hashrate is now above 800 PH. More proof that everyone can mine bitcoin, and they are. 

This weekend’s newsletter is packed, but there are two things you shouldn't miss.

  • Watch the powerful mini documentary below about why the Navajo Nation is now mining bitcoin.
  • Check out the mining memes toward the end of this newsletter. Miners were memeing in full force this week. Thanks as always for letting us send these mining memos to your inbox.

Enjoy the weekend!
