Natural time shaped humanity.
Machine time reshaped civilization.
Bitcoin time is reconciling them.
Together, these three clocks define our new temporal landscape, which, in turn, will shape how our civilization unfolds.

The last few years I’ve gradually exercised less and consumed more calories.
I’m also in my mid-40s now so that youthful metabolism ain’t so much anymore.
So last week I got out my food scale, started tracking all the calories and macronutrients, didn’t drink alcohol, and walked a lot.
Down 3.6 pounds out of the gate. Feeling good, blood pressure down. Dog happier.

It’s really not

2024-05-10 22:40:48 UTC

Because it takes a shitton of work to stand up a mining operation. Same reason you hire a doctor or a lawyer or a plumber. You want to learn that work or go into those businesses? Why is this hard to grasp?

2024-05-10 22:33:37 UTC

- reply

The difference is that our clients own everything. These are we getegated operations. Cloud mining sells fractional hashrate on machines you don’t own. Also we’re working with huge institutions that go through extreme due diligence with lots of lawyers. We’re not preying on retail here. Completely different.

2024-05-10 21:04:52 UTC

I have no idea what this means

2024-05-10 21:03:45 UTC

It is completely different from cloud mining. Swan is operating bespoke, segregated mining businesses for huge institutions that own their mining business. We are operators for hire.

Growth in the financial services business and mining

2024-05-10 19:02:22 UTC

For the record I have nothing but respect for @npub1qny…95gx. We had legal and strategic reasons behind making announcements when we did. The timeline wasn’t ideal for transparency but I’m glad it’s all out there now. Swan is now a profitable company overall and the financial services business is growing, brokerage is growing with 120k clients, IRA is taking off, Vault is now publicly available and growing fast. Matt was doing his job and I appreciate him for that.

2024-05-08 16:19:18 UTC

I think it’s pretty straightforward. If a large institution wants to get into mining but doesn’t want to build a mining company, we manage their hashrate.

Hey Derek - I agree with you that cloud mining is not good. Swan Managed Mining is not cloud mining. This is a bespoke service to manage operations at scale for large institutions (several MWs per investor). These investors get a clear view from ASIC acquisition all the way to hashing. Transparency on everything. They see pools, wallets and can track in real time the operations. Also, by definition, their risk on individual machines is massively pulverized.
Swan gets a management fee for the services. We announced a deal with Tether and we’re managing a lot of their hashrate. Large capital allocators don’t necessarily want to pool their capital with pre-existing mining operations, nor are they able or interested in acquiring all the skills, talent, experience, and time to learn how to stand up their own mining operation. This is where Swan Managed Mining comes in.
Really sorry to hear about your experience with retail cloud mining, we’re very aware of those operations, and SMM is not that.
