Title: BITCOIN MINING – CUTTING COSTS CAN HURT | Dailysatoshi.com Post by: Coinbuddy on November 10, 2014, 07:03:16 AM BITCOIN MINING Bitcoin mining in early years was mostly done by computer geeks on their computers.

Warehouses full of specialized ASICs continued to mine bitcoins continuously With mining becoming more competitive, the emphasis of mining companies turned to cutting costs.
