They break down:
Auradine
They break down:
- Hydro Hash Density – 600 TH/s packed into a 2U rack and tunable down to 13.5 J/TH for “eco-mode” efficiency.
- AI-by-Day, Bitcoin-by-Night – shared liquid-cooling racks that swing idle GPU power into mining revenue in seconds.
- Heat Recapture Hustles – turning spent watts into shower water, fish-farm warmth, and any creative thermal side-gig you can dream up.
- Tariff-Proof Supply Chain – why building chips at TSMC but assembling in the U.S. (or non-China Asia) hedges geopolitical risk.
- $150 M War Chest & Creative Financing – how fresh capital lets Auradine offer pay-as-you-mine terms and sell standalone chips for DIY devices.
If you’re obsessed with mining density, cheap electrons, and staying geopolitically uncancelled, this episode hands you the playbook.
