Hey!

The countries are the locations of the data center.

I'm a late stage co-founder, having joined in 2021, raising capital and pivoting to the existing SaaS for mining offering. Being educated as a computer engineer who went into roof top solar for a decade, it wasn't until I read Jeff Booth's The Price of Tomorrow_ that I realized I belonged in mining. It was frustration with trying to mine from home (Portugal at that time) that made SaaS for mining seem like a no-brainer to me.
Ah ok. Energy prices in Portugal are kinda high (≈0.15€ per kWh). I know what I’m talking about! hahaha

Yeah, I get it -- living in the Sintra area and trying to mine from home was one of the inspirations for building Saz!

In that area, it's not just the electricity that's mad expensive. Good to know Portugal was the inspo, even if it's for some whack reasons! Ahahaha

Ha! Indeed -- Portugal's more than just an inspiration for Saz, though. Since I married into the culture, I acquired citizenship and have Portuguese children as well :)

Diving down the Bitcoin rabbit hole makes you pay attention to electricity prices more than you ever cared to in your entire life!
My eyes have been opened to the inefficiencies and crazy pricing of different locales.

Arbitrage, flip or service based business ? Amazing skill set ! Once a sailor navigates through the Bitcoin gate, every logical signal starts to matter.
Suddenly, the bitwise tides of 1s and 0s and the hum of distant nodes reveal just how complex the circuitry really is, exposing the uneven resistances and such that shape the flow of digital currency.

I didn’t need Bitcoin to be paying attention to that!
