This crypto company just went public 💰
As cryptocurrencies exploded last year, multi-million dollar mining farms plugged in around the world to confirm transactions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash, Dogecoin, and hundreds of other token networks.
In exchange for confirming transactions, miners get paid big bucks. Every confirmed block of Bitcoin transactions pays out 12.5BTC, or ~$87k every ten minutes. Bitmain, a leading mining group, is reported to have made $3-4B... just last year. 😮
Meet the newest shovel salesman: Argo Mining, which just went public in London and raised £25M. Pick your preferred coin, choose a mining contract, and the coins will start flowing into your wallet. Over 50,000 are on Argo's waiting list for their Canadian-based rigs.
Cryptocurrency mining contracts have excited since bitcoin mining took off years ago, but it's not typical to see blockchain companies go public. We'll have to wait and see if Argo Mining can find a loyal group of miners.
Want to try mining yourself? This nifty browser extension lets you donate your processing power to charities like The Hispanic Foundation, or to help people get out of jail.
And if all of this is confusing, here's a beautiful visual demonstration of the technology behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. ⛓️📦

Your agents stopped answering and started doing
Your agents call tools, write to databases and move money, so a wrong answer is now a wrong action, which is a considerably worse meeting. Arcjet runs policy before every LLM call, tool call, query and API request: prompt injection, sensitive data, bots, rate limits, spend quotas, and your own rules in Rego on top. It reads the OpenTelemetry you already emit, so switching it on is one environment variable, no code changes and nothing to deploy. Each check also reads the earlier steps in the same workflow, so an agent's tenth action gets judged against the first nine and not on its own. JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs all at 1.0, agent framework guards included, free tier to start on.
