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.
