As the mining sector becomes more institutionalized it’s important for the Bitcoin community to always focus on building systems that are as decentralized as possible. From supply chain to block propagation, all aspects of the mining technology stack are potential failure points. In this episode we talk with Shinobi, Co-host of Block Digest about various centralization attack vectors lurking in the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. https://twitter.com/Brian_trollz https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/is-bitcoin-mining-centralized PERSON: TWITTER HANDLE Will Foxley: https://twitter.com/wsfoxley

Bitcoin mining is a great way to generate value from interacting with the network but there are real operational risks that should be considered when mining.
