Ya somos el 2do minero con gas de flare del mundo! @UnblockComputos
Con una inversión de más de $15M en Argentina, junto a @CrusoeEnergy @PampaEnergia y @Petrocuyo hacemos que $200M de petróleo de Vaca Muerta se produzcan con menos emisiones @PluspetrolARG @Tecpetrol
Mega proud of the @UnblockComputos ops team
We run on flared gas at higher uptimes than grid connected miners (@ 25 MW scale in super remote locations): 97.5% over last 3 months
Kudos to Compass Mining to sharing this data and the constant improvement. Bullish on them
Overall uptime across all sites was 96.87% last week.
At Minnesota 2, the onsite team completed diagnostics and necessary bolt-on repairs for miners experiencing issues. Facility performance metrics continue to remain strong, with stable and consistent results across the site.
At Texas 5, ongoing maintenance, unit repositioning, and rack optimization efforts contributed to improved uptime percentages last week.
We share these updates weekly as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability.

this is incredible. turning sand + sun -> into intelligence
I am super excited for this one - since June of last year @CrusoeAI and @RedwoodMat have demonstrated 99.2% micro grid reliability in a first of its kind deployment of second life EV batteries + PV solar to produce 24/7 solar power for a fleet of Spark modular data centers in Nevada. Today we announced the significant expansion of that program as we work to scale this innovative approach to affordable base load power from renewables+BESS with modular data centers suitable for both on-grid and off-grid deployments.
wednesday mining in Patagonia, Friday in El Salvador. Thanks @tether team for hosting @UnblockComputos
📢 Don’t miss this panel!
Join us at the WAGMI Stage for the panel “Mining as a Tool for Efficiency” with @gzanganeh, @JosueLopezGal, @tomasoc, and @skot9000, moderated by @dusan_matuska.

Coinbase moves money. We power it.
Proud to be a small part of the new @CoinbaseBiz story
"As we transition to the Agentic Age—where autonomous agents redefine production by blurring the lines between capital and labor—the economy's prime factor will shift to “capacitive electricity”: fungible units of [electricity + compute] that can be routed to AI-"labor" or "capital" (Bitcoin)" @johnkomkov
ALT Unblock's 20MW facility taking flared gas from oil operations in Vaca Muerta, Argentina, and turning into high performance compute for Bitcoin mining.
Impresionante lo que vienen mejorando las rutas de Neuquén.
Arrancaron por las más alejadas. Que menos se ven pero más afectan a gente en zonas remotas y la industria. Muy groso @Rolo_Figueroa
SE CONOCIERON LAS OFERTAS PARA EL PUENTE SOBRE EL ARROYO CARRANZA
Avanzamos con la licitación del puente que viene a resolver un problema histórico de transitabilidad en la Ruta Provincial 5, clave para unir Añelo y Rincón de los Sauces con mayor seguridad.
Elegimos planificar y dar respuestas definitivas. Gobernar es anticiparse, fortalecer la conectividad y acompañar el desarrollo productivo con obras que ordenan el territorio y mejoran la vida de quienes transitan esta región estratégica.
.@MaxAWebster was amongst the first to call BTC mining as a driver for a cleaner and cheaper grid (by overbuilding solar and wind energy)
stoked to join his and @PresidioBitcoin Type I Summit for deeper energy and compute debate
We’re pleased to announce Tomas Ocampo (@tomasoc), CEO of Unblock, will be attending our Type I Summit.
The Summit will bring together ~50 leading voices exploring how to build a terawatt-scale grid.

We raised $13.5M Seed Round
Humanity is at an inflection point. AI needs massive energy. Meanwhile, Latin America wastes huge energy due to infrastructure constraints. At @UnblockComputos we turn such waste into compute

The @CrusoeAI team keeps developing first of a kind projects
This 100% solar PV modular data center is 🤯
A data center powered by the sun, AT NIGHT! @CrusoeAI and @RedwoodMat have teamed up to bring you the next step in energy-first AI infrastructure: Crusoe Spark modular data centers + second life EV batteries + ground mounted PV solar = cost effective base load solar AI computing.
Con la crack de @LauHevia sobre como producir bajar emisiones es más oportunidad que problema para Vaca Muerta (y como arrancamos de una muy buena base)
🗣 "Tenemos la posibilidad de producir petróleo de muy bajas emisiones", aseguró Tomás Ocampo
📈 En diálogo con @LauHevia el CEO de Unblock detalló cuáles son las oportunidades que se abren para la Argentina respecto a Vaca Muerta y las emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero.
📊 ¿Cuáles son los pasos a seguir para tener un crudo de bajas emisiones?

Uniforme presidencial! @JMilei
No es el mameluco de YPF pero en @UnblockComputos igual nos vestimos como presidentes – at Neuquén, Argentina
Gracias @business por reconocer el trabajo de @UnblockComputos para hacer que la producción de energía🛢️⚡️sea cada día más eficiente y limpia 🌿
