๐Ÿ“„ OVERVIEW

In this episode of HashrateUp, Jesse sits down with Paul Palmer, Chief Revenue Officer at SustainHash, to break down how a small Canadian repair company scaled to over 100 MW under site management in just a few years.


Paul covers what it actually takes to win and run large-scale Bitcoin mining sites: from SLAs and daily client reporting to hiring the right people across four jurisdictions. He also explains why steady O&M revenue beats the repair model, how SustainHash structured their warranty program, and where new mining capital is still coming from despite the AI pivot narrative.


Whether you're an operator, an investor, or just curious what happens inside a Bitcoin mine every day โ€” this episode gives you the full picture.
