Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC (AIM:QBT, FRA:BYA1) CEO Francesco Gardin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s participation in the recent Nashville Energy & Mining Summit (NEMS26) at Bitcoin Park in Nashville, a key networking hub for the Bitcoin community. Gardin described the conference as “extremely intensive” and valuable for meeting key industry players, including three ASIC manufacturers with whom the company has signed NDAs.
He explained that Quantum Blockchain is progressing well in its relationships with these partners, particularly around its development of Method C, a neural network-based solution requiring ASIC-specific training. “The training is very ASICs oriented, specific ASICs oriented; and that's not something you do overnight,” Gardin noted.
A major development for the industry, Gardin said, is the emergence of an open-source stack, including hashing board designs, control board software, and even mining pools. This marks a significant departure from the market dominance of Chinese manufacturers, who have historically restricted access to both ASIC specs and software.
“This is for us, really a game changer,” Gardin said, pointing to the availability of chips and the open ecosystem as an opportunity for broader industry participation.
He also clarified confusion around QBT’s access to source code, explaining that access is being granted incrementally in alignment with the company's agreed path with its partners.
