The Bitcoin Mining Show: Episode 6 ”SideHack & Iris from Gekko Science”

In this episode, we sit down with the team at GekkoScience to talk about their long history in Bitcoin mining hardware, from early USB stick miners to modern desktop systems like the Terminus line and A2Z-class pod miners.

We cover:

- How they got started in Bitcoin mining during the 2012–2014 era

- Early overclocking kits, refurb operations, and grassroots hardware building

- Why GekkoScience focused on home mining and the “under 1 kilowatt” philosophy

- Why open-source tooling, tinkering, and education are core to their product design

- How supply-chain chaos during COVID shaped product evolution

- Their long-term vision: practical home mining, heat reuse, and “mine where heat is needed”

This conversation highlights a key idea: Bitcoin mining should be accessible to normal people, not just industrial farms.

If you’re into home mining, solo mining, hardware modding, and Bitcoin heat-punk innovation, this episode is for you.
