Meet our advisors

Gerald, like many of us, started Bitcoin mining at home back in 2012. Since then, he's started four companies and grown HMTech into the premier service and repair provider in the Western hemisphere. His company holds certifications to repair ASIC hardware from Bitmain, MicroBT, Innosilicon, iPollo, and Alpha Miner. HMTech has consulted with almost all major Crypto miners in the US on various projects. Today HMTech is THE trusted source for service and repair.

Guy was a hobbyist miner using GPUs during 2011-2012. In 2013 he co-founded Spondoolies-Tech, one of the first ASIC-producing companies. Spondooliee-Tech produced the Hammer 40nm ASIC and the SP10 machine based on it and the 28nm RockerBox ASIC and the SP30, 35, and SP20 machines based on it.

Martin has been involved with Cryptocurrency since the end of 2011, starting with helping build CPU and FPGA farms. In 2013 he began building farms with ASIC miners with some of the first ASICs, some of which are Gridseed, Bitmain and others. Starting in 2015, he began building large-scale mines with current ASIC technology with a background in Datacenter design and security. Since this time, Martin has built many successful mining operations.

Matt started GPU mining in college in the early days using free electricity in the dorm room. He then moved on to work for a large mining farm in Montana where he learned the skills to start his own consulting company. Since then he has spent years closing large deals, selling hardware, and helping sites scale. He is a global travel fanatic and has flown millions of miles to date. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the space and this team.

Ian started mining in early 2010, first using CPUs and then GPUs. In 2013, he started building his own ASIC farm that grew to 40MW in 2018, representing up to 1% of the bitcoin network computational power. In 2019, Ian went to manage a top 6 mining pool before founding Pow.re with his co-founders and going back to building mining farms.

Greg started mining in 2011, and was a part of helping Bitmain with the S1. He is a Legendary Member of BitcoinTalk.org, where he has been providing hardware sales and software support to the community since February 2014. He built and designed a 15MW mining facility in Atlanta, GA, where he was responsible for software development, facility design, and leading a team of 10 technicians and engineers. Now, he is primarily involved in hardware sales, repair, and consulting for large-scale miners in the community.

Philip started off in software development and game engine design. He has been responsible for software infrastructure and mining operations in Genesis Mining since its founding in 2014 and is now CTO of Genesis Digital Assets. Having mined his first Bitcoin in 2011, he is a passionate advocate for cryptocurrencies and a true old-school miner.

Jon started mining in early 2010 as co-founder of Qi Hardware, makers of the video art computer, the Milkymist. This open hardware computer was repurposed into one of the earliest FPGA Bitcoin Miners. The Milkymist was then used to bootstrap the 1st AvalonMiner that included the 1st ASIC Bitcoin Mining Chip. The AvalonMiner project birthed Canaan Creative and the “Open Sourcing” of the AvalonMiner software and hardware sped up mining industry development. Phillips now is the CEO and Co-founder of LIMINAL, based in St. Louis.

Mason is the CEO and Co-founder of Blockware Solutions, an industry leader in Bitcoin / Crypto-Currency mining. Blockware has brokered ~ 9of total network hashrate, operates one of the largest ISA Bitcoin mining pools in North America, writes industry leading research, Own/Operates 50 MW of hosting, and has placed 500+ MW of Bitcoin Mining hosting since being founded in 2017. Mason also previously serves on the advisory board of Riot Blockchain and has founded other Blockchain entities. Prior to founding Blockware Solutions, Mason had roles as a lead software engineer and a senior management consultant. He has a B.S. in Finance and a Master's Degree in Information Systems from Indiana University's Kelley school of Business.

Marc's journey with Bitcoin began in 2010 during his high school years, CPU mining on an aging desktop & GPU mining on his laptop. The laptop endured quite a journey, undergoing 4 or 5 motherboard replacements due to the strain of running POCLBM for mining. By 2017, Marc was developing firmware for S9s, enhancing profitability during the bull market. He helped conceive the pioneering Autotuning firmware now known as Vnish or Asic.to, first unveiled to the public in the summer of 2018. Since then, Marc has helped implementing various innovative features in ASIC firmware, granting miners full control of their mining operations. Marc has also worked at one of the world's largest Bitcoin mining farms, and consults for other sizable mining enterprises.
