Editor's Note

Hashprice is above $0.35! Bitcoin hovering around $55,000 feels great. Welcome to the weekend, miners.

For cryptocurrency mining headlines, this week was relatively quiet. But the speaker lineup at the Texas Blockchain Summit in Austin was fire, especially the panel on Texas as the Bitcoin mining capitol of the world. And we have some exceptional mining content packed into this weekend edition of Mining Memo for you.

Keep an eye out for next week’s Tuesday newsletter. There are a few fun surprises you won’t want to miss.

Thanks for reading!
