I build things at the intersection of Bitcoin, energy, and open source. I lead the 256 Foundation, building an open-source Bitcoin mining ecosystem, and co-founded Exergy, integrating Bitcoin miners into building energy systems for heating and solar monetization. I also wrote Bitcoin Mining Heat Reuse, organized the Hashrate Heatpunks community, and co-founded The Space in Denver.
01 What I'm working on
Home and business heating systems powered by hashrate. We size, design, and facilitate installation of hashrate heating solutions that offset utility costs and monetize energy for homes and businesses.
A nonprofit challenging proprietary control over the bitcoin mining industry. Committed to keeping bitcoin mining hardware and software open-source and accessible.
A growing community of enthusiasts and professionals who believe heat reuse is one of Bitcoin mining's most important frontiers. Now under the 256 Foundation.
The definitive guide to hashrate heating. Now available on Amazon. I wrote this to map the emerging industry of using Bitcoin miners as intelligent heat sources.
