    Proto Rig: How Block’s New Mining System Could Transform Bitcoin Mining

    Block Inc. (Jack Dorsey’s team) has unveiled Proto Rig, a Bitcoin mining system designed by engineers with backgrounds at Apple, Tesla, and Google. With a 3nm custom ASIC, modular design, and open-source fleet software, Proto is pitched as a complete rethink of Bitcoin mining hardware. In this episode of the Compass Mining Podcast, we’re joined by Tatum Cave, Compass Mining’s large-scale project lead and safety overseer at our Denver Service Center. With years of experience repairing, deploying, and stress-testing ASICs, Tatum shares his honest perspective on what Proto Rig could mean for miners in the field. What you’ll learn in this episode: - Proto Rig’s bold design promises: modular upgrades, easier repairs, higher density, and longer lifespans - Why competition beyond Bitmain and MicroBT is a big deal- Field concerns: durability, hot-swapping, integration with existing fleets - Efficiency claims vs. real-world expectations (14.1 J/TH vs closer to 20 J/TH) - The potential of Made in America mining hardware through TSMC’s Arizona fab - Why pricing, timelines, and real-world stress tests still leave big questions The bottom line: If Proto delivers even part of its vision, it could reshape Bitcoin mining infrastructure. But as Tatum makes clear, miners will want to test it in the field before making big commitments. 💻 Follow Compass Mining on social media: 🔗 X - https://x.com/compass_mining  🔗 Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/compassmining/?viewAsMember=true  🔗 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/realcompassmining/  🔗 Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@compassmining

    How the Big Beautiful Bill Impacts Bitcoin Miners: 100% Bonus Depreciation and What’s Next

    On this episode of the Compass Mining Podcast, we’re joined by Nick Ward, CPA, Co-Founder of The Network Firm, to break down the hidden but powerful impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on the Bitcoin mining industry. While the bill doesn’t mention Bitcoin directly, it introduces major tax code changes that miners need to understand, most notably, the return of 100% bonus depreciation.  This tax break allows miners to fully deduct hardware purchases, including ASICs, servers, cooling equipment, in the same year they're placed into service, significantly improving cash flow and reducing tax liabilities. Nick and Compass Mining’s Nina Xiang walk through: How 100% bonus depreciation works — and who can benefit most Section 179 deductions for smaller operators Capital planning strategies for 2025 The still-unsolved problem of double taxation What to watch for in upcoming legislation like the GENIUS Act and Crypto Tax Fairness Act Whether you’re running a large-scale mining facility or just getting started, this episode offers critical insights on how to optimize your tax position under the new law.  Subscribe!
