This month we'll meet a local family of Bitcoin miners. They started small 2 years ago with 2 terahashes of machines and have grown to several petahashes today. Jason and Vernon Gantt are plumbing & HVAC specialists who will tell us about their wild and wonderful journey to bitcoin riches.

They'll share with us perspectives as miners, challenges faced, and some (but not all!) of the tricks used to mine profitably in North Carolina, which most people seem to have written off as impossible.

You can watch the Gantts working on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoO8zW08smo7VlmMSqnVA2Q/videos) and read about their operation in this article on CoinDesk (http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-mining-father-and-son/).
