The Everyday Miner Podcast

Is GPU mining finally back in 2026, or are we getting fooled by another short-lived profitability boom? In this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, we are joined by Red Fox Crypto to talk through the current GPU mining landscape and whether this moment is the real deal.
They get into the recent rise in GPU mining profitability, what’s driving interest in RTX 5090s, and whether newer coins like Pearl and Quantus have what it takes to stick around. Along the way, they revisit the lessons learned after the Ethereum Merge and what those years taught the community about chasing hot coins.
The conversation also covers a few of the bigger forces shaping GPU mining right now: the growing role of AI compute rentals, the rise of quantum-resistant crypto, and the question many GPU owners are asking themselves, whether it makes more sense to stack GPUs or sell them while prices are high.
If you’re a GPU miner wondering whether to jump back in or stay on the sidelines, this candid conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

Is solo Bitcoin mining from home a hidden scam, or just the ultimate lottery ticket? In this roundtable episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, the host sits down with two fellow Bitcoin mining YouTubers to talk about why they solo mine in the first place and what keeps them coming back.
They get into whether adding more hashrate really improves your odds, and whether a $65 Bitaxe Gamma 601 is enough to ever hit a block. They also ask each other the questions every solo miner wonders about: does anyone they know actually hit a solo block, and if they did, would they even tell anyone? The conversation also covers when there might be too many solo miners chasing the same reward.
They also talk about why solo mining on solar is such a big win for home miners, and how each of them balances pool mining and solo mining in 2026. It’s a candid, fun conversation for anyone who’s ever wondered if their little solo miner is worth keeping plugged in.

In this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, the host sits down with James from Neuron to dig into 4DSky, a decentralized aviation surveillance network built to help drones safely share the skies with other aircraft.
They cover what sets 4DSky apart from other flight-tracking projects and how the Jetvision hardware works. James also walks through the best ways to position your sensor, whether you’re out in the countryside or in a city high-rise, since placement plays a big role in how well the hardware performs.
From there, the conversation turns to where the project stands today. James explains the current testnet phase and how the points and hex system rewards operators. He also lays out the plans for mainnet on Hedera, including a USDC-powered token buyback model.
If you’re curious about DePIN projects that have real customers and revenue behind them, this episode gives you a closer look at one of them.

In this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, the host sits down with Joseph Ma of Superheat to talk about the H1C — a 50-gallon water heater that swaps out the traditional heating element for a hydro-cooled WhatsMiner, so you're earning Bitcoin while you heat your water.
Joseph walks through how the idea for the H1C got started, and the two dig into how the heat exchanger and dual-loop design actually work, along with why the unit is designed to only mine when the tank actually needs heat rather than running constantly. They also cover the practical side of ownership: what it takes to get the unit UL certified, and what's involved in having it installed by a plumber like any other water heater.
The conversation goes deeper into the business side too, with Joseph covering pool options and how the dev fee works, the three-year miner replacement warranty backing the unit, and some of the wildest requests the Superheat team has fielded from breweries, cheese factories, and hotels. They also touch on what's coming next for the company, including an AI-focused model in the works.
The host will be installing their own H1C unit over the coming weeks, so if you're curious to learn more about Superheat, check the links below — and jump to the chapters in this episode to find the topics you care about most.

Were we wrong about Kaspa? That's the question the host sits down to tackle with Greater Good Mining in this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, taking an honest, unfiltered look back at where everyone thought Kaspa was headed — and where it actually stands today.
They dig into the aggressive emission schedule that's shaped Kaspa's trajectory, the brutal reality of ASIC depreciation for anyone mining it, and push back on the idea some Kaspa loyalists seem to hold that mining the coin is some kind of charity. From there, the conversation turns to the more forward-looking side of things: merge mining opportunities with coins like ZKAS, the potential upside of Kaspa's Covenants, and the upcoming DAG Knight upgrades on the roadmap.
They also get real about what's still missing — namely, the kind of business development Kaspa will need if it wants to survive and succeed long term, hype cycles aside. Whether you're a Kaspa holder, a fellow miner, or just crypto curious, this candid conversation covers where the hype died, where the hope still remains, and what it would actually take for Kaspa to get where its early believers thought it was going.

In this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, the host sits down with fellow crypto miner and content creator Your Friend Andy to break down one of the strangest sagas in recent Bitcoin history — the fallout from BIP-110 and the group of developers who forked off after their proposal failed to pass, yet continue calling their new chain "the real Bitcoin."
They dig into how the fork changed its mining algorithm to Blake2B, and the confusion this shift has caused for node runners and new miners trying to make sense of what's actually happening. The conversation also covers the surge of old Siacoin ASICs — think IBeLink and Goldshell units — suddenly getting rented out on platforms like Mining Rig Rentals as people scramble to capitalize on the chaos.
Beyond the technical breakdown, they get into some serious concerns around replay protection risks for anyone holding coins on the forked chain, along with the drama that unfolded when the NEOXA exchange briefly listed the token before delisting it under pressure. It's a candid, unfiltered conversation about one of the wildest moments in recent Bitcoin history, and a warning to miners not to get swept up in the hype without understanding what's actually going on underneath it.

Solo Bitcoin mining has seen a major resurgence over the past two years, and in this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, I break down five different ways home miners can put their solo miners to work in 2026.
I start with the traditional approach — mining Bitcoin (or flipping over to Bitcoin Cash) straight to a pool — and cover realistic expectations for what different hardware can actually earn doing this. From there, I get into repurposing budget miners for pool mining instead of solo lottery-style mining, which opens up some interesting options depending on what gear you're already running.
Then we get into the newer strategies gaining real traction in the community: hybrid "parasite" pools that blend solo and pool rewards into one approach, dual mining across two coins at the same time to squeeze more value out of your existing hardware, and renting hash rate through platforms like Luqee to boost your solo mining odds without buying a single piece of new equipment.
Whether you're brand new to solo mining or you've been at it a while and are looking for fresh ways to stack your existing setup, this episode lays out the full range of options available to home miners right now.

We just watched Bitcoin rip from the $60Ks to $80K in a matter of days, and as a miner, that kind of move changes everything about how I'm approaching my operation. In this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, I'm walking through exactly how I'm reacting in real time to this price swing.
I get into the practical side of things — bringing my sheds back online after having them powered down, and rethinking my power strategy now that the math around running costs versus mining looks a lot different. I also talk through where my own personal threshold sits if the market turns back down, and how I'm thinking about that risk as someone running a home operation rather than a large-scale facility.
This isn't a prediction episode or a "here's what's going to happen next" kind of conversation — it's just me being transparent about the decisions I'm actually making right now, in real time, as a hobbyist miner watching the market move. If you're navigating similar decisions with your own setup, I think you'll find something useful in how I'm thinking this through.

Knowing what I know now, what would I tell someone just getting started today? That's the question I sat down with completely unscripted for this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast — no notes, no script, just me talking through the four things I wish someone had told me before I ever got into mining.
I walk through the exact order I'd do things if I were starting from zero today: setting up a proper crypto wallet before anything else, cutting my teeth on a cheap solo miner before spending any real money, and why — if I had it to do over — I'd skip home mining setups entirely and go straight to hosting. I also share a habit around taking profits that I didn't build early enough, and how that cost me watching coins I mined lose significant value over time.
This one's personal. It's the conversation I wish someone had with me back when I was just starting out, mistakes and all. Whether you're brand new to mining or you've been doing this for years, I think there's something in here that'll hit close to home. Let me know in the comments which one of these four resonates most with you and your own mining journey.

Live from Mining Disrupt 2026 in Miami, this episode brings together six voices from the home mining community for an unfiltered roundtable on where things stand right now. Joining me are Red Fox Crypto, Your Friend Andy, Tech Hustler, Greater Good Mining, and Hawk Crypto Mining — and this conversation goes everywhere.
We talk about the rise of solo mining and why more hobbyists are giving it a shot, the surprising role taxes are playing in ASIC purchasing decisions, and where we're all seeing the biggest gaps in current mining hardware. We also dig into Kaspa and where it stands in the community's eyes after its steep price drop, with everyone weighing in on what they're seeing and thinking.
Things get personal too. The group opens up about their biggest wins in crypto — from early Ethereum and Helium plays to Hivemapper and Kaspa — and the hard-earned lessons that came with them, including how each of us thinks about diversification and taking profits along the way. It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation between creators who are all in the trenches of home mining together, and I think you're going to want to hear where everyone's head is at.
