- From Rob W.: Can they disaggregate the total EH into hosting/operating and other business arrangements? Big EH hosted on one or many sites is VERY different self mining on one or multiple sites. Also, out of all of that EH, how much do they keep? https://twitter.com/BikesandBitcoin/status/1760145986117116018
- From Exfrog: How much of that 4.5Eh is new to the network and how much was preexisting and just had Swan stickers slapped on the box? https://twitter.com/exfrog/status/1760299846903251387
- From Rebel Mining in Texas: About 120 MW or so is my guess. Not impossible if you find a good opportunity, been working since summer. Announced January. 7 months is impressive, but doable. Interested to know machines, efficiency, single/multiple location, curtailment, state...and a bunch more. https://twitter.com/DavidBranscum/status/1760147171414794629
- From Adam Anderson: How do you think about jurisdiction risk and geographic diversification? Which energy sources form the majority of your electricity inputs? Any aspirations to shift or optimize these allocations or sources going forward? https://twitter.com/bc1984adam/status/1760146314711445990
- From DecentMoney: > What questions do you have for Swan’s CIO, @alphaazeta? Does he know his website is down? https://twitter.com/decentmoney20
