Texas has become an epicenter of Bitcoin mining, where abundant energy meets monetary technology. This Austin Bitcoin Club panel convenes mining specialists to discuss how Bitcoin mining is transforming the energy sector and strengthening grid resilience. Hear about projects turning wasted natural gas into Bitcoin (360 Mining’s vertically integrated gas wells) and how miners can act as flexible energy buyers, even returning power to the grid when needed.
Speakers:
- Will Cole (Zaprite)
- Chris Alfano (360 Energy)
Please RSVP as space will be limited.
If this is your first time at one of our meetups, welcome to the bitcoin capital of the world. We have a few guidelines to keep the event running smoothly:
- our meetups focus solely on Bitcoin. We do not welcome discussions about Web3 or any other “crypto” projects at our events. If you are interested in crypto discussions there are a number of other meetups to join.
- please no photos. We respect the privacy of our community.
- please give your attention to the presenters during the seminar and keep side conversations to zero. We are in a pre-QE building, which means we are surrounded by concrete and little insulation; even a whisper can become a distraction to other guests and those presenting. There will be time to converse and network before and after the seminar.
- please pick up after yourself. While we enjoy offering free beverages and snacks to our guests, we do not have a cleaning staff to clean up empty cans, bottles, plates, snacks, etc. Please help us keep the Commons clean by disposing of trash in one of the trash bins.
- parking: Street parking or the paid garage across from our building on East 6th (515 Congress)
