I took a lot of value away from the verde mining training. We were mineral owners and decided to get into bitcoin mining as a way to get a better price for our natural gas. This training helped me connect with lots of folks from the bitcoin world, the investment world and the oil and gas world. This was a realistic view of what it takes to burn wellhead gas in a generator versus burning cleaner pipeline gas and the amount of time that it would take to run a mine myself versus paying someone else to run it for me. I enjoyed talking about the tax implications of mining bitcoin. Seeing that this is a young but still fully thought through industry made me feel much more comfortable moving forward. I think the best value I took from this training was the networking of people knowing that I wasn't crazy for exploring this avenue for our business. I also took a lot of value from the bitcoin meetups learning what bitcoin is and how it works. I had never done a crypto transaction before and other participants in the class were very helpful in showing me how that technology works and just diving into that bitcoin world. Considering that we were looking at investing a couple million dollars into a mine, this training was worth the expense to get the proper expectation of the industry, how it works and to be connected to a community Going forward. I don't feel like I am mining crypto alone anymore. I feel like I am one of the many going down this path. I would highly recommend taking this training. If you are looking at doing crypto mining with natural gas, whether it's well, had gas from your own wells or if you have a location, it is a good spend and you will find it very valuable like I did.

I found the course to be informative and practical. It really tied together several loose ends that I had been wondering about. Field visit was very helpful. I also appreciated the instructors being flexible as questions came up throughout the course.

I appreciated the level of experience and straight talk I received at the training. I am getting into BTC mining to get better pay for our natural gas. I got to see a few sites where they were burning natural gas to mine BTC. I had never touched a miner before this training or, honestly, done anything with BTC. The other folks in the class were so helpful. In fact, the best part of this training is the network of people you get connected to. I love knowing I have a group of people to reach out to for future business deals, advice, or industry updates. I don't feel like I am doing it alone.

The training was valuable for an oil and gas guy looking into monetizing stranded gas. I learnt the basics I need to understand bitcoin mining, equipment, setup, pitfalls etc. Its definitely a fast track to implementing this solution.

"It's rare in this business to find someone who has deep field experience in both O&G and Bitcoin, and is willing to share all his valuable knowledge. Enter Paul Cockerham, the OG of flare gas mining. I attended Verde's course in Midland and received the best education one could imagine in the flare gas niche. Paul's level of transparency, passion and teaching skills were off the chart. I don't think you'll find any better course or instructor. Five-star rating!"

As a new operator to off-grid mining, the Verde training gave me the knowledge and experience to run my own site. I appreciated the transparency of Mike and Paul and the myriad of questions they answered about bitcoin mining operations, site setup, site maintenance, and business strategy. I would be paying for many costly mistakes from inexperience had I not taken this course. Every operator who is going into Bitcoin mining for the first time, on-grid or off-grid, should take this course.

I can’t say enough about Verde’s 3-day mining class. Personal in-class and field instruction by the Verde team is something that I would encourage for anyone interested in Bitcoin mining…whether you’re a small home miner or starting a large scale off-grid operation. The entire Verde team was extremely helpful and encouraged questions and discussion while providing hands-on training. I’d recommend this for anyone regardless of experience. Thank you Verde team for a great class!

I had the pleasure of attending Verde Mining in May of 2024. During my week we covered an array of topics in the crypto industry. My favorites included basic miner repair, off-grid mining, & miner management. The course gave me a great insight into the vast sectors of the industry. Most importantly the Pros and Cons with off-grid mining and how best to navigate thru the pit falls that sometime arise. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to draw on the expertise that the team at Verde Mining has.

Verde Mining's course 'How to mine on flare gas' was fantastic. The team, information, classroom, and field instruction are top notch. I walked away with all the tools and contacts necessary to confidently source, structure, fund, build, and operate a flare gas mine. This is more than just some instructional course, it is an intimate, student focused, hands on relationship building experience. Verde Mining is passionate about their mission, and I highly recommend for anyone, at any stage of their journey, to experience such an atmosphere of dedicated and knowledgeable instruction.
