Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC (AIM:QBT) CEO Francesco Gardin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest breakthrough — a software-only version of Method C AI Oracle, which enhances Bitcoin mining efficiency without requiring hardware changes.
Gardin explained that this new version allows the integration of Oracle at the operating system level of mining rigs. “The energy required is the same… but the number of quality hashes… is higher,” he said, referring to their lab-tested 10% improvement in mining efficiency.
This advancement significantly reduces the time-to-market from 18 months to just a few weeks, enabling miners to implement upgrades much faster than traditional ASIC-based improvements. Gardin noted that their method increases "quality hashing" — a performance measure based on hash difficulty rather than speed alone.
He added that all major ASIC manufacturers they've approached are receptive to testing the Oracle directly on their own machines, as QBT is not prepared to disclose proprietary details. Testing is currently being performed on legacy S9 miners as a proof of concept, and Gardin is in Dallas attending the Mining Disrupt conference to advance commercial discussions.
With implementation timelines of 4–6 weeks once a machine is received, Gardin highlighted that companies lagging behind market leader Bitmain view Oracle as a potential opportunity to close the competitive gap.
