The Hashrate Problem: What Most Miners Don’t Explain
Hashrate is the heartbeat of Bitcoin mining — the speed at which machines solve complex calculations to secure the network and earn rewards. It determines both the network’s security and a miner’s share of block rewards.
Most miners are quick to share the number but skip the most important question: where does that hashrate actually come from? Without the right infrastructure, operations, and energy strategy, hashrate is just a fragile statistic.
“It’s really a 24-hour job. Data centers are active 24 hours,” said GoMining US CEO Jared Focose during the AMA. “We have monitoring teams, logistics teams, and maintenance teams all working together to keep the system running.”
How GoMining Builds and Maintains Hashrate
GoMining’s hashrate is powered by a distributed network of high-capacity data centers running non-stop. Behind the scenes, three teams keep the system efficient and profitable:
- Monitoring teams track every miner in real time, ensuring it’s online and performing at full capacity.
- Logistics teams manage the arrival, testing, and installation of new miners as demand grows.
- Maintenance teams repair or replace hardware immediately to minimize downtime.
This approach delivers 99% uptime, compared to the 90–98% most in the industry consider “very good.”
“We achieve a 99% uptime through a well-oiled machine of moving parts… We can see problems before they even happen and address them before they have any customer impact at all,” Jared explained.
Proactive maintenance is the key — spotting and solving issues before they ever touch hashrate output.
The Physical Side of Digital Mining
For users, digital mining feels simple: buy a miner, track your stats, collect Bitcoin. But each terahash you own represents physical work and hardware.
“Miners are quite heavy… It’s actually about 10 terahash per kilogram. For example, a 235T miner weighs around 27 kilograms,” Jared noted. “Every terahash purchased means more miners have to go on the racks, more infrastructure built, more capacity brought online.”
Every time hashrate grows, capacity must be expanded — from installing new machines to scaling cooling and power systems. This constant physical effort is what keeps the line on your app’s hashrate graph moving upward.
Clean Energy for Consistent Performance
Stable hashrate needs stable power. GoMining targets 90% sustainable energy, with hydroelectric power playing a major role thanks to its reliability and cost efficiency.
“Hydroelectric power is highly reliable… We’re really targeting 90% sustainable energy at this point,” Jared said.
Clean, reliable power shields operations from energy price spikes, keeps hosting rates competitive, and supports network growth for decades without over-reliance on carbon-heavy sources.
Preparing for the Next Era of Hashrate
Mining tech changes fast — better miners, new cooling, and different power needs mean we’re always adapting. We build so we can scale fast, copy what works to other sites, and add new hardware without slowing down.
“The industry is getting more professional, larger scale, and more challenging as time goes on,” Jared said. “We’re committed to real democratization of mining — ensuring that everyone can profit from this financial revolution.”
This ability to adapt ensures the hashrate stays competitive even as network difficulty increases and industry standards shift.
Conclusion
GoMining’s hashrate is the result of 24/7 operations, sustainable energy sourcing, monitoring, and scalable infrastructure — not just a number on a dashboard.
By combining physical mining expertise with transparent, user-friendly digital access, we turn hashrate from an abstract concept into something you can see, understand, and benefit from every day.
