Some big news items in this week’s Mining Pod roundup, including Swan Bitcoin’s mining lawsuit and Bitdeer’s 13.5 J/TH ASIC chip.

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week’s roundup, Will, Colin, and Matt discuss the bombshell news that Swan Bitcoin is suing its former employees and contractors, alleging that the cabal stole proprietary aspects of Swan’s bitcoin mining business. Speaking of corporate sparring, the gang also covers the news that Riot and Bitfarms have settled (for now, at least) their dispute over Riot’s attempts to acquire its rival. They also discuss Bitdeer’s new SEAL02 ASIC chip, which Bitdeer claims is capable of 13.5 J/TH power efficiency, and why bitcoin mining ASICs are not securities despite some reporting to the contrary. Finally, in this week’s cry corner, they address the indefatigable, maddening myths that persist about Bitcoin’s global electricity use (no Bill Maher, Bitcoin does not use 8% of the world’s electricity, but thank you for playing!).
