Hey, I'm Hugo — 13 years old, crypto nerd, and one half of solominer.com. I got into Bitcoin mining when I found out you could literally make money with a computer. Since then I've been reading everything about hashrates, ASIC miners, and solo mining. I write the technical guides and glossary entries because I love breaking down complex stuff into simple explanations. When I'm not researching mining hardware, I'm probably building something with Raspberry Pi or arguing with Makar about which coin to mine next. https://gravatar.com/mysteriouslywonderland55fd8c3377
