StarkWare founder Eli Ben-Sasson explains Starknet settling on both Ethereum and Bitcoin, the need for Bitcoin scaling through OP_CAT, quantum computing threats, and preventing Bitcoin from becoming an exclusive asset only for the wealthy.
Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of StarkWare, joins us to discuss how StarkNet plans to settle on both Ethereum and Bitcoin. We dive into the technical details of zero-knowledge proofs, the importance of OP_CAT for Bitcoin's future, and the fascinating Collider Script approach to covenants. Eli shares his concerns about Bitcoin ossification, explaining why without scaling solutions, Bitcoin risks becoming a "Rolex" - an asset only accessible to the wealthy. We also explore quantum computing threats and potential solutions for securing Bitcoin's future.

Notes:
- StarkWare has over 200 team members
- OP_CAT is the "greenest" covenant proposal
- Quantum threats require ZK-based solutions
- Collider Script enables covenants at high cost

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Sanjay Gupta, CSO of Auradine, joins us to discuss the Teraflux AH3880, a hydro-cooled, U2 server rack form factor Bitcoin miner. Clocking in at 600 TH/s and 14.5-16.5 J/TH efficiency, the AH3880 applies a tried-and-tested server design from traditional datacenters to the world of bitcoin mining. Gupta explains why Auradine decided to design the model after input from its clients and the advantages of a server rack form factor over traditional shoebox miners, and how this design overlaps with AI and HPC computing infrastructure. Plus, he discusses some of the challenges and triumphs of ramping up Auradine’s ASIC manufacturing capacity to 1,000 units per week.
Notes:
- Terra Flux AH3880: 600 TH/s at 14.5-16.5 J/TH
- U2 server rack form factor for density & cooling
- Current production capacity: thousands of units/week
- $250M in bookings, $500M+ in pipeline
- US-designed, diverse manufacturing locations
- Auto-tuning tech for load balancing with AI/HPC
