GoMining grows together with you, and that works best when we meet in person. Conferences give us a stage, but the conversations that actually change our products happen later, in a smaller room with fewer people in it. That is why we hold GoClub, our own meetup at the major crypto events, where we show our users and partners what we are working on and hear what they make of it. In October we held the sixth one, in Singapore, and over the next few days we will show you how it went. There was a golf tournament, and a charity auction that is putting more than 15,000 trees in the ground in Kenya. Where should the next one be?

Our creator club has a new name, and it is open to creators anywhere. It is the Creator Club now, without the X, because good content about Gomining does not only happen in one place. Anyone can apply, whether you are starting out or already have a large audience. There are still criteria, so not every application gets through, and what we are looking for is real experience of using the app and the willingness to tell your audience about it. We value video, and creators showing what they actually do rather than describing it. We read every application, so applying does not guarantee a place.

Electricity is the largest running cost in bitcoin mining, and at a GoMining site the rate is negotiated at a scale no individual could reach. That matters because the rate you pay on a digital miner comes from the same arrangement. Someone mining at home pays household electricity prices, while a site with thousands of machines buys power on commercial terms, and the gap between those two numbers is what decides whether mining is worth doing at all. It is the part of mining nobody puts in a product video, and it is the reason the maths works. What else do you think gets overlooked about mining costs?

Invite someone to GoMining and you earn a cut of what they do here, for as long as they keep doing it. That cut comes from five places. More details below 🧵

Everyone asks about land and power when you build a $BTC mining site. Almost nobody asks about water. Cooling at this GoMining site in West Texas runs through evaporative panels. Those panels need a steady supply. The usual answer is to drill a well. They tried. The ground kept giving them oil instead. So the water comes from a reservoir nearly two miles away, piped in and held in a tank that gets topped up as it drains. Land, power, water. Miss one and the build stops. What else do you think gets underestimated when building a data centre?

The first month is the quiet one. Royalties build as referrals keep mining and keep buying. By month 12 the same scenario pays $1,194 in that month alone, and $9,329 across the year. These are estimates based on assumed activity, not a promise of income.
