About LMC Mining Intelligence
Independent data. No sponsored rankings.
Built by a miner, for miners.
I've been deep in the Bitcoin mining world for over 8 years — long enough to have made every mistake worth making, and to have learned what actually moves the needle on mining profitability.
Before founding LMC Mining, I spent 15 years in operations leadership across multi-million dollar companies — running teams, managing P&L, and building systems that scale. That background taught me one thing above everything else: the numbers either work or they don't. No amount of hype changes the math.
I founded LMC Mining Intelligence because I was frustrated with the lack of honest, independent analysis in this space. Every 'review' site has a sponsored ranking. Every calculator uses optimistic assumptions. Every hosting comparison is written by someone with a financial interest in the outcome.
LMC Mining is different. Every spec on this site comes from a verified primary source. Every hosting comparison uses real contracted rates. Every profitability calculation uses conservative assumptions — because I'd rather you go in clear-eyed than get burned.
Today, Lightning Mining Corp — our own Bitcoin mining operation — is actively deploying capacity and generating monthly BTC returns. We eat our own cooking. Every tool and framework on this site is what we use ourselves to evaluate our own mining decisions.
If you're serious about Bitcoin mining, you're in the right place. The data here will tell you the truth — even when the truth is that a particular deal doesn't make sense.
Active since the early days of ASIC dominance. Lived through three halvings, two bear markets, and the shift to institutional-scale hosting.
P&L ownership and team leadership across multiple multi-million dollar companies. The same analytical frameworks apply to mining that apply to any serious business.
Lightning Mining Corp is live and generating monthly BTC. We use every tool on this site for our own capital allocation decisions.
Why We Built This
The Bitcoin mining information landscape is dominated by manufacturers selling hardware, hosting companies selling capacity, and review sites collecting affiliate fees for 'independent' rankings. The retail miner has no neutral source of truth.
Every data point on LMC Mining is sourced from primary sources — direct contracts, manufacturer spec sheets, and live API data. We disclose every affiliate relationship. We do not accept payment for rankings or reviews.
If a hosting deal doesn't make sense at current BTC prices, we say so. If a miner is overpriced relative to its efficiency, we say so. The goal is not to maximise affiliate revenue — it's to be the source serious miners actually trust.
Affiliate Relationships & Disclosures
LMC Mining Intelligence maintains affiliate relationships with select hosting providers. When you sign up with a hosting provider through a link on this site, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Current affiliate relationships:
- →Abundant Mines — we earn $200 per machine deployed through our referral link. This relationship does not influence our independent assessment of their service. We recommend Abundant Mines because we believe they offer genuine value for hosted mining — not because of the commission.
We do not accept payment for rankings, reviews, or editorial placement. Our hosting comparison tables and miner rankings are based solely on independently verified data.
If you believe any data on this site is inaccurate, contact us and we will investigate and correct it within 48 hours.
