Stampee1, "F1: why doesn't this company, mine it's own bitcoin, alongside, making its own chip, or have I read incorrectly and that is their plan ?"
That's a fair question to post on this chat and certainly not one that deserves abuse or ridicule form Jamboner.
Vlad joining QBT was announced 26 May 2023 (FG even did a video interview;)
"He will also be in charge of the initial phase of the Company’s recently established renewable energy mining project, which involves a completely new approach to zero carbon footprint bitcoin mining, further details of which will be announced by the Company in due course."
Nothing more on this statement yet ??
I'll put my hands up here and say I don't know the full history of QBT but previously it was Clear Leisure and Miner 1 which had a small shipping container with a door and a couple of windows attempting to mine BTC which was the brunt of the Burger Van jokes from Argo investors a few years ago.
Two years ago FG said they would be mining Q1 of 2022 having moved the Burger Van to Italy, as usual nothing more was mentioned on the subject by FG who appears to change his story more than I change my pants.
I gave an example of how QBT could easily enter the Bitcoin mining business on their own today and probably pick up a few blocks within days using a few ASICs by mining BitcoinSV. The ASICs have a simple set up where the user chooses which SHA-256 coin to mine so why QBT haven't solo mined BSV I would say is simply down to poor management.
