In this episode, Jesse sits down with Bob Burnett, founder and CEO of Barefoot Mining and co-host of The Bitcoin Boomers, to break down how “wild horse” off-grid mining sites stay profitable even at a brutal hashprice.
Bob explains how Barefoot builds small-to-medium sites on hydro, anaerobic digestion and stranded natural gas, how they negotiate with oil producers, and why their fully-loaded cost to mine remains well below $50k per Bitcoin. They also cover uptime, gas processing, engine standardization and the operational practices that keep their sites resilient.
On the hardware side, Jesse and Bob discuss ASIC total cost of ownership, warranty realities, and why uptime matters more than marginal efficiency. They touch on new players like Proto and Auradine, and explore the potential comeback of home mining and repurposed S9-style units.
