The Bitcoin Miner’s Almanac With Rob Warren

The Mining Pod | Bitcoin Mining News

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week’s show, Colin interviews Rob Warren, the author of The Bitcoin Miner’s Almanac. Standing up a bitcoin mining operation is a herculean task. From managing ASICs, to standing up infrastructure, to navigating power contracts, bitcoin miners have to learn everything from IT management to hardware maintenance – and everything in between. That’s why Rob wrote The Bitcoin Miner’s Almanac, to help newcomer and veteran miners alike easily navigate the daunting, complicated minutiae of bitcoin mining. In our conversation, we touch on what inspired the book, Rob’s experience researching and writing it, and what he plans to include in the second edition. This isn’t your grandfather’s almanac…

You can purchase The Bitcoin Miner’s Almanac on Amazon or the Bitcoin Magazine store.
