Best Bitcoin Mining Hosting Companies (2026): Who to Trust With Your Miner

Bitcoin's Red Team Hit the Outreach Wall
Bitcoin's Red Team logged 1,029 high-or-critical findings across 425 projects in 55 hours. Now comes the hard part: reproducing the bugs and reaching the maintainers.

TFTC 781 w/ @JesslovesMJK: "Nobody's buying your bullshit anymore. We know there's a very good possibility this thing was made in a lab and there's a massive cover-up they're desperately trying to protect." We discuss: ⚡ The lab leak ⚡ Bill Gates' memo ⚡ Recent FDA approval

Saudi crude exports dropped 460K barrels/day in July to 4.19M bpd. Houthi threats are now targeting Yanbu, the backup port Saudi built specifically to bypass Strait of Hormuz chokepoint risk. Tankers are going dark on transponders. Global energy supply chains remain incredibly fragile.

Strategy now holds 840,447 bitcoin and just bumped its USD reserve to $4.65B while buying back $109M of $STRC.
Whistleblower Brook Jackson tried to warn the FDA about fraudulent Pfizer trial data and was fired the same day. Attorney Robert Barnes says "All they delivered was speed and scale. What they delivered was dangerous, ineffective, not a vaccine, never prevented COVID-19." x.com/MaryBowdenMD/s…
Rob Hamilton got blocked by OpenAI from continuing his Bitcoin security research after already being KYC'd into their trusted cyber program. He's now going back to Chinese open-source models. "Intelligence is unrestricted for those who don't follow rules, and those who engage in harm reduction are left on the sidelines."

China added 20 tonnes of gold in July, their largest monthly purchase since October 2023. That's 21 consecutive months of buying. 2,366 tonnes total and climbing. They're also moving reserves from London to Hong Kong to build their own trading hub.

Strategy now holds 842,138 bitcoin worth $54.66 billion at an average cost of $75,653. Down 14% on their position.

The BIP-110 chain found its second block but is 7 blocks behind the main chain.

.@simpleminingio mined block 961,634 using @ocean_mining’s DATUM protocol. This block extended the bitcoin main chain as it did not signal support for BIP 110 consensus rules. While many members of Ocean’s team support BIP 110, they created a protocol to let their customers decide what they think is best. This should be lauded.

BIP-110 hit its mandatory signaling period today at block 961,632. When Ocean mined a non-signaling block, BIP-110 nodes rejected it and forked off the main chain. With less than 3% miner support, the BIP-110 chain now trails the canonical chain with virtually no hashrate behind it.

BIP-110 nodes just forked off the main chain after rejecting a non-signaling block at height 961,632.
