Management Commentary for November

“Cipher’s production really hit its stride in November, when we mined more bitcoin than October despite having a day less on the calendar and average monthly network hash rate rising ~6.5% month-over-month. With Odessa fully up and running, we have continued to focus on improving machine repairs and available uptime, allowing us to achieve an all-time high site hash rate of ~6.24 EH/s at Odessa alone. We finished the month with the potential to mine up to ~15.7 bitcoin² per day and continue to build our bitcoin inventory, ending the month with approximately 558 BTC,” said Tyler Page, CEO of Cipher.
