Top Bitcoin Mining Pool Operator Foundry Is Getting Into Zcash decrypt.co/360714/top-bit…

Builders. Capital. Infrastructure. The momentum around Zcash is accelerating. Mining giant Foundry is launching an institutional Zcash mining pool.

Foundry plans institutional-focused Zcash mining pool launch in April theblock.co/post/393218/fo…

Foundry has never launched a mining pool for any coin other than Bitcoin. ZEC as their first expansion is extraordinary institutional endorsement. The most credible mining infrastructure company in the world is saying: "Zcash is mature enough for us to stake our reputation on."

Financial privacy will become more important as digital assets integrate with the traditional financial system Foundry is launching a $ZEC mining pool to bring institutional-grade infrastructure to Zcash

When we built Foundry USA Pool, the goal was simple: give institutional miners infrastructure they could rely on. Today we're extending that same commitment to Zcash. Zcash represents something important, the idea that financial privacy is foundational to economic freedom. That's a vision worth building serious infrastructure around.

🚨 Major DOE Move on Flexible Loads The U.S. Department of Energy just proposed giving FERC jurisdiction over large load interconnections nationwide — and requiring expedited connection for flexible loads like Bitcoin mining and data centers. This is a major signal that DOE recognizes the value of flexible demand in strengthening the grid. 🔗 energy.gov/sites/default/…

Welcome to Foundry Donate, @HRF! Your participation helps fuel the growth of the #Bitcoin network. In addition to @OpenSats and @bitcoinbrink, users of Foundry Donate can select the Human Rights Foundation to receive their donation to open-source Bitcoin developers. We've made an initial donation to show our appreciation. Discover more about Foundry Donate: bit.ly/4cdgugh

A bit surreal to have these 3 great leaders explain how strategically important Bitcoin mining is for the electrical grid. Bitcoin mining is the best large controllable load. Looking forward to working with the @TVAnews. thanks @GovBillLee and @senatorhargerty Appreciate @bitcoinpark_ for the opportunity to speak at your amazing facility. Really cool what you have built in Nashville.

📢 Announcing a new initiative to support the open-source #Bitcoin community: Foundry Donate. Connecting miners on Foundry USA Pool with nonprofits that give back to Bitcoin core developers, Foundry Donate strengthens the backbone of the network and empowers the sustainability of a decentralized future. Special thanks to nonprofits @bitcoinbrink and @OpenSats, and our partner @Core_Scientific for collaborating on this achievement. Read the press release here. ➡️ prn.to/3Yj36nx

Congratulations to Teresa Spivey, a graduate of Foundry’s 2-year Mining Engineer Fellowship program where fellows gain hands-on experience installing, de-racking, troubleshooting, and repairing crypto mining equipment across the United States. As Teresa continues to contribute to Foundry’s growth, she shared a few words about the program: “The fellowship was a great hands-on learning experience. I was never involved with crypto so I came in to learn something new, and ended up learning about more than just the industry. I also learned the people side of things. Building relationships and communicating with different people, I’m leveraging my hands-on technical skills and people skills to support various parts of the business—from HR and Site Operations to Repair and Deploy.”

📢The next phase of mining technology is here. Introducing Foundry Hardware — mining products built to maximize performance. Designed by your trusted partner for mining services, the Foundry-built PSU, Immersion Optimization Kit, and Control Board help improve uptime and enhance long-term reliability.

When I was a kid, my grandfather told me the story of the Blind Men and the Elephant: (everyone needs to hear this) Six blind men are brought to examine an elephant that has come to their village. The first man touches the trunk and says that the elephant is like a thick snake. The second man touches the tusk and says that the elephant is like a spear. The third man touches the ear and says that the elephant is like a fan. The fourth man touches the leg and says that the elephant is like a tree. The fifth man touches the side and says the elephant is like a wall. The sixth man touches the tail and says the elephant is like a rope. Each of the blind men is convinced that he is right and that everyone else is wrong. American poet John Godfrey Saxe’s version of the story concludes with a simple, beautiful line: Each was partly in the right, And all were in the wrong.​ So, oft in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance, Of what each other mean, And prate about an Elephant, Not one of them has seen! The moral of this story is that the information we have about the world represents a tiny fraction of the information available, yet we use it to form a view of how the world works. The world is always infinitely more complex than our narrow observation windows would allow us to understand. I'm reminded of David Foster Wallace's famous This Is Water speech in 2005 (emphasis mine): "The point here is that I think this is one part of what teaching me how to think is really supposed to mean. To be just a little less arrogant. To have just a little critical awareness about myself and my certainties. Because a huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded." You can either choose to (A) cling to the notion that your view is the absolute truth or (B) embrace a degree of humility about your views and open your mind to change. The goal of Path A is to preserve the notion of our own intelligence. The goal of Path B is to broaden and improve our view of reality by acquiring new and better information. We should all choose Path B... "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.” ― Mark Twain At the end of every quarter, ask yourself what you've changed your mind on recently. If you can't think of anything, that's a bad thing. Fighting back against perspective blindness and opening your mind to new ideas is a tried and true path to consistent, compounding growth. The next time you want to reject an alternative viewpoint without thinking, remember the story of the Blind Men and the Elephant: The world is much more complex than any of us can possibly understand.
