Riot Platforms boosted BTC output by 19% in 2023, mines 6,626 Bitcoin

Bitcoin mining firm Riot Platforms recorded a 19% increase in the number of Bitcoin it produced in 2023, mining 6,626 BTC. 

While several of Riot Platform’s competitors mined more Bitcoin in 2023, Riot is preparing for 2024’s Bitcoin halving after acquiring 66,560 mining rigs from MicroBT.

Riot’s cost to mine Bitcoin for 2023, net of power credits allocated to self-mining, averaged $7,539 per Bitcoin versus $11,225 in 2022, a decrease of 33% year-over-year.

The increase in Bitcoin Mining revenue was driven by slightly higher values of Bitcoin mined in 2023, which averaged $28,859 per Bitcoin as compared to an average price of $28,245 per Bitcoin in 2022.

Meanwhile, over the past month, Riot’s share price surged by 47.47%. However, last week, it declined approximately 10.65% last week over the five-day trading period.

In December 2023, Cointelegraph reported that Riot acquired 66,560 mining rigs from manufacturer MicroBT, marking one of the largest expansions of hash rate in the firm’s history ahead of the Bitcoin halving scheduled for April.

2023
Core Scientific produced 19,274 Bitcoin,
CleanSpark mined over 7,300 Bitcoin,
Marathon Digital mined 12,852 Bitcoin.

Marathon Digital Holdings launches direct Bitcoin transaction submission service

Marathon is uniquely capable of offering these services because of our scale, our mining pool, and our team’s technological expertise.

Marathon Digital is among the largest, most active Bitcoin miners in the world. 

It posted a company record in December 2023, mining 1,853 BTC. 

This concluded a year where the company mined 12,852 BTC in total, representing more than half a billion dollars.

It bears mention that Marathon Digital reportedly holds over 15,000 BTC as part of a war chest worth over $1 billion.



While some analysts predict close United States competitor Riot Platforms may be better positioned to come out ahead in the long run, Marathon has ironically taken a commanding lead in the early sprint leading up to April.

Hut 8 begins construction on 63MW crypto mining site in Texas

North American digital asset miner Hut 8 has begun construction on a new 63-megawatt mining facility in Culberson County, Texas, its fifth United States mining location. 

The new facility is expected to be open for business with miners online by Q2 2024.

Hut 8 expects to be able to mine Bitcoin (BTC) at 30% lower rates than its cost to mine at its other sites in Texas and Nebraska.

"Compared to the benchmark of approximately $460,000 per MW set by recent acquisitions in the area, our all-in cost to design and build the Culberson County site is expected to be less than $275,000 per MW. This represents a savings of more than 40%, or approximately $18,500,000 in upfront development costs per every 100 MW of expansion." ~ Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot

Canada-based Hut 8 and US Bitcoin Corp. formed a new company via a merger in December 2023. 

After the reported $725 million merger, the company resumed operations under the name Hut 8 as a U.S.-domiciled corporation headquartered in Miami, Florida.

去实践，去着手做事。如果你等待别人教你成为创业者，你就不是一个创业者。 技能可以学习。它是让你走出去做出不凡之事的驱动力和雄心。我们任何人都可以成为医生。我们任何人都可以做律师。但只有自强自立的志气——即使在困难的时刻——让我们与众不同。 如果把你置于一个有机会快速学习，并且必须学会成功的环境的话，你的学习过程就会快得惊人。 创业是一种激情，因为你心甘情愿地为创业而学习，它成了你生活的一个重要部分。如果你不喜欢创业，你就不可能成为学生创业者。 我完成工作，因为我乐在其中。它不是一项任务。 我过去，并且直到今天仍然遵循的原则是非常简单的。我擅长什么？我不擅长什么？我如何让可能是最棒的人来帮助我做我不擅长的事情？我并不想尝试亲自动手做一切事情。 在你的公司规模还小的时候，基本上一切都是未知的，你没有资本，你还年轻，会有一些唯利是图的人来为你工作。因为这时候风险与回报都相当高。 你必须建立一个面对挑战也能够发展下去的制度。也可能有一些人会做出不同的决定。他们说，我们只打算以我们人能成长的速度成长。好吧。你可能最终仍然是一家非常小的公司。你用的人不对。 如果业务增长速度超过人的成长速度，而现在是你最好的朋友在做这项工作，可他已经没有能力做好，你是要做出一个感性决定还是理性决定呢？这不是私人问题。这是业务问题。如果你雇佣朋友，你要准备好解雇他们。 我认为你必须确定你要寻求什么样的生活。 的确有挑战，但我觉得这些挑战不见得与年轻且快速取得巨大成功有必然的联系。你会受到想从你这里渔利的人们的攻击。我必须要学会保护自己不受他们的侵害。这些人中谁是我的朋友，谁只是想从我这得到好处？结果发现有很多人就是想从我这里渔利。而且，我越成功，他们想得到的东西就越多。 领导者必须乐观。这是很重要的一点，我已经学到了一些：你会发现自己处于完全无所适从的境地，而且你的手上是一堆乱麻。这时如果你不给你的属下指明前进的方向，如果你不知道路在何方，那么用不了多久你就得歇业。因为大家都依赖于你。你必须想出办法，制定计划。这就是领导的职责。 我觉得，不利用社交媒体是很荒唐的事情，因为在与客户交流和分享信息方面，社交媒体是精髓工具。你可以通过它把你的信息直接传播给大量的客户和大量的潜在用户。而且社交媒体发展极其迅猛。 内容的深度对自然搜索有很大影响。所以，如果你有深度的内容——有可能来

Revamping HowTze.com

I decided to revamp my site howtze.com in November 2023, to focus only on travel-related content - bucket lists and footprints . While it started with a strike of " Enough watering other's garden. It is time to water your own garden. ", the process reminds me of pruning bonsai . There are 2 important points to keep in mind: Clarity leads to power Knowledge is power.  Applied knowledge is real power Clarity leads to power. Quantifiable, measurable, graphical elements bring more clarity. How did it start? This has to be traced back to early 2023. I made a New Year resolution to travel overseas, as 2022 was mostly traveling to Sarawak, Borneo for business purposes (Miss Tourism International 2022). Personal resolution 2023: 1) Stay lowkey 2) Make money  3) Travel monthly  Then, the resolution (rather than simply calling it a wish) evolves: Go overseas. ✅ Go overseas every month. Go overseas every month, at least one week per trip. Go overseas every month, at least one we
