 genesi - a competing mining company which people seem to trust - have
virtually zero transparency.  if someone wants to help tracking down
some bitcoin wallet addresses from youtube videos so that the
blockchain analysis can be done that would be great.

 the pool stats are available (remember bitclub actually started out
as a simple mining pool.... that some bright spark went "huh why don't
we drop a MLM on top of this?") - there's videos of some of the
equipment in various data centres.

 briefly, last thing today: the equipment in rekjavik they're sinking
their *own* geothermal bore-holes and installing their *own* turbines,
keeping it connected to iceland's national grid where geothermal
electricity is extremely cheap, and, of course, cooling is literally
free.

 more on this tomorrow, gotta sleep.
