Zcash miners are earning up to seven times the gross revenue of current Bitcoin miners per unit of electricity. Demand for Z15 Pros has exploded, but a roughly 10-month payback assumes the Zcash price holds, the machine arrives, stays online, and avoids long repair delays. I would not move capital based only on today's $/MWh. Watch the 19-minute breakdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFPJM09t1FI

Old ASICs do not always need to head straight to scrap. Ben Smith is offering $0.058/kWh all-in power in Arkansas, then a 50/50 profit split after power on S19-series machines. No deposit, a $25 racking fee, pool visibility for the owner, and free spare-part swaps while stock lasts. For an S19 that can still cover power, that may beat collecting dust.

Bitcoin bounced back this week, and hashprice moved roughly 10% higher, while public miners kept shifting power and capital into AI. The post-China expansion pushed the network beyond 1 ZH/s. Some of that capacity is now being idled or reassigned after only one halving cycle. Bitcoin mining may be entering its first real bear market in network hashrate. If difficulty turns down while Bitcoin holds, miners still hashing get the upside. I cover the numbers in this 20-minute episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDILTsUMXDk

MicroBT stock firmware treats thermal limits like an on-off switch. In this episode, Brandon from Luxor shows me how LuxOS handles an M50 with power targeting, autotuning and dynamic thermal management. Operators can reduce power without a full reboot and retune. When conditions improve, LuxOS brings the machine back up. During heat and curtailment, that means less lost hashrate. Watch the 48-min walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqeQQepv2FY
