WM Bitcoin Meetup: East Longmeadow
Our 40th meetup was a deep dive into Bitcoin mining. We traced the evolution of mining hardware from early CPUs through GPUs to modern ASICs, explored open-source mining projects, and got a live S9 miner demo. We also discussed the Heat Punk Summit — a growing movement focused on reusing Bitcoin mining heat for home and commercial heating — and what open-source mining means for the decentralization of hash rate.
The first 30 minutes were for socializing over pizza and drinks before diving into the mining-heavy agenda.
