In this conversation, he explains why cheap infrastructure can destroy long-term mining ROI, how operators should think about hydro vs immersion systems, and what actually matters when building containers, power setups, and cooling systems that need to survive real field conditions.What's covered in this episode:Jesse and Matthew discuss Hash House's liquid-cooled mining infrastructure, ASIC manufacturer differences, hydro container design, immersion tradeoffs, generator deployments, power-price strategy, and why total realized hashrate over a machine's lifespan…
