Show Notes

Freadam shares his journey from building data centers in Sweden to running large-scale Bitcoin mining operations in Addis Ababa. We discuss cooling strategies adapted to African climates, the challenges of sourcing and repairing ASIC hardware locally, and how QRB Labs is building reliable infrastructure for miners in Ethiopia. If you want to understand what Bitcoin mining looks like on the ground in Africa — this is the conversation. 🛠 Sponsored by Hashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple.
