* GoMining has over 4 million registered users and powers over 10 million TH/s in Bitcoin miners.
* Bitcoin mining’s economic incentives will be less about block rewards and more about transaction fees in the coming years.
* Expanding Bitcoin’s ecosystem and the types of economic activity for its users is GoMining’s next focus.
The era of running one or several Bitcoin mining machines from your bedroom or garage has passed.
Now, it’s an industry of its own, with firms and governments around the world operating and owning giant BTC mining farms.
It’s also full of innovators like GoMining, who are working to make individual BTC mining and participation accessible, and hopefully, profitable, in 2025.
CCN caught up with GoMining CEO Mark Zalan at the European Blockchain Conference 2025 to discover more.
Bitcoin Mining Innovation
Due to Bitcoin halving events increasing the difficulty, time, and costly energy required to mine BTC, it’s no longer a profitable or worthwhile endeavor for individuals. Well, most.
So, is it making a comeback?
“Okay, that’s an interesting way to phrase it,” Zalan admits, and according to him, it’s still very profitable.
“The ebb and flow of difficulty versus the price appreciation” is expected to trend in the same direction it has been for the past 10 to 15 years, he explains.
It’s also dominated by wealthy entities and the capability to secure favorable deals on electricity and what they can build. There are also higher technical demands to be a profitable miner.
It’s no longer profitable to operate on your own. And Zalan explains that’s what GoMining set out to solve: making BTC mining accessible for regular people.
“We’re Bitcoin maxis”, true believers in BTC, he says, and now that everyone’s convinced it’s an incredible store of value, “we want to go beyond that and expand towards bringing other economic benefits on top of Bitcoin.”
NFT Miners
Cloud mining was the initial challenge that GoMining had to overcome, as that side of the industry came with “a lot of baggage” due to the many frauds and scams in the space.
How could anyone possibly verify that the Bitcoin miner they were renting out from an unknown platform was real? They couldn’t.
“So the story went: you send your money somewhere and you hope that somewhere in the cloud, somebody does something for you and you get some Bitcoin.”
It’s a huge leap of faith, resulting in massive losses for the average user looking to mine BTC.
So, GoMining looked to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and their incredible utility (beyond collectibles), leveraging their unique, immutable, and programmable nature to build their digital miner products.
