Sinopse

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! On Thursday, Bitcoin transaction fees soared to their highest levels since April, but it has nothing to do with runes or inscriptions. This go around, it was all thanks to the launch of Babylon Chain, a new off-chain BTC staking platform.  We also tackle Bitfarms’ merger with Stronghold and what it could mean (or not mean) for Riot’s ongoing attempt at a hostile share takeover of Bitfarms. Finally, we close on the latest Q2 figures and operational updates from public bitcoin miners, and Colin rants about why the IMF needs to take their bitcoin miner tax proposal and shove it...someplace where it won’t see the light of day.  Timestamps: 00:00 Start 02:33 Difficulty report 04:45 ASIC prices 12:13 Babylon staking 15:51 Bitfarms Expands with $175M Stronghold Merger 16:47 Riot vs Bitfarms Poison Pill 25:30 Public Miner Reports 32:19 IMF Idea to Tax Bitcoin Miners Published twice weekly, "The Mining Pod" interviews the best builders and operators in the Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining
