Plamenko sits down to soak in the sun with Marko in Miami, FL. Marko shares NiceHash's open hash power marketplace, which connects miners and sellers of hash power with buyers of hash power in real-time. They discuss the features of NiceHash’s marketplace, Marko’s background into mining, and a little bit about Ordinals, the buzz surrounding BRC20 and Bitcoin transaction fees.
Marko Tarman is the Lead Mining Manager at NiceHash and has a wealth of knowledge and experience on Bitcoin and mining in general. His team at NiceHash delivers something greater than cloud mining, which enables the user to buy computing power for mining from other people. Marko and Plamenko first connected in Houston at Empower 2023, and they got a chance to record this episode in Miami last month during Bitcoin 2023.

Plamenko sits down for a special interview at Bitcoin 2023 in Miami with Vít Jedlička. Vít is the President of the Free Republic of Liberland, a sovereign state located between Croatia and Serbia. They discuss the history of Liberland, DAGs (Decentralized Autonomous Government), and how to become a citizen of Liberland.
Plamenko had only heard of Liberland a few days ago, in conversation with friends. How funny to be sitting days later and interviewing their president. To clear up the confusion, Liberland is not an island but instead a piece of land located on the west bank of the Danube River. The country's motto is: To live and let live.

Plamenko closes up Empower 2023 with Tom in Houston, TX. Tom shares how he and his team are combating the many issues of ASIC hosting, the importance of being community-oriented as a Bitcoin miner, and what he thinks the future of Proof of Work will look like.
 
Tom Merkle is the Founder and CEO of Hashbranch. Hashbranch is a marketplace for verified goods and services in the Bitcoin mining industry. They focus primarily on finding quality hosting companies, and help connect them with customers who are looking to deploy ASICs. With the amount of headaches surrounding hosting, it's clear why Hashbranch is vital to a healthier mining community.
