I've watched and really liked it!

But I'm thinking he can't mine 0.3 btc in a short time; they gave him some free coins Smiley


It was supposed to be the wage for a few hours of working on assembling miners, I guess. Probably still staged though. But I liked that they included earning BTC as opposed to buying into the show!

He was at our mine, they filmed all day (9am-5pmish) and Morgan did work during that time on assembling rigs, building racks etc. Off camera the team did help as well moving stuff around and hanging out in the heat of a mine in July. Nothing really staged, it was a long hot day, no free coins since we mined around 3.5btc/ day at that time. The animations basically broke down the discussions we had through the day. Overall I was really happy with the mine scene as they simplified things via animations. Im happy that the captured the payment and the transaction popping up on blockcahin.info right after they received it. That part really blew the crew and Morgan away... seeing the blockchain in action. Through the day we discussed all this process of mining and how the blockchain works, then to be able to sum it all up at the end of the day and show it in real time was pretty awesome.
