Hood River County, Oregon – December 16th, 2025 – This month last year, Abundant Mines quietly began to launch a feature that would go on to change how the bitcoin mining industry defines performance. Today, the company is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Hashrate Redirect, a pioneering system that ensures clients continue earning bitcoin even when their machines are offline.
For too long, mining providers have misled customers with uptime metrics that measure whether a facility has power, not whether a machine is actually hashing. A rig could be powered off, broken, or awaiting repairs and still count toward a provider’s claimed “98% uptime.” The result is lost bitcoin, lost revenue, and lost trust.
Abundant Mines set out to correct this.
“When we introduced Hashrate Redirect a year ago, we didn’t make a big announcement. We simply built the solution we wished had existed when we were clients,” said Beau Turner, Co-Founder and CEO of Abundant Mines. “Twelve months later, the results speak for themselves: our clients continue earning even when their machines are offline, and the industry standard for uptime is shifting toward truth and transparency.”
A Year of Real Results: Uptime That Actually Means Performance
Instead of measuring uptime by whether a building has power or not, Abundant Mines measures rig uptime – the percentage of time an individual machine is hashing and producing bitcoin. When a rig goes offline for repairs, RMA, or maintenance, Hashrate Redirect replaces the lost hashrate with hash from Abundant Mines’ operational fleet.
The loss of hash is tracked immediately, and the redirection happens within days, not at the end of the month or year. The result is a continuous bitcoin revenue stream for clients, even during downtime.
Over the past year, Hashrate Redirect has:
Protected clients from hours of lost earnings
Redirected hashrate for machines without interruption
Preserved significant bitcoin rewards that would otherwise have been missed.
“Hashrate Redirect is simple but powerful,” said Turner. “We give you hash, not cash. Because you’re not mining for credits or refunds, you’re here to earn bitcoin and help secure the network.”
Why Timing Matters: Capturing Bitcoin’s Full Value
Bitcoin’s value is time-sensitive. Block rewards are issued every 10 minutes, and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. If a rig is offline during a price surge or halving cycle, the lost opportunity can compound into significant missed revenue.
By replacing hashrate continuously, not with delayed end- of -year credit, or even end-of-month credit, Abundant Mines ensures that clients capture the full earning potential of every block, especially during high-value market windows.
“With bitcoin’s price climbing and the network becoming more competitive, uptime precision isn’t just a technical detail. It is the difference between winning and falling behind,” said Turner. “Hashrate Redirect makes sure our clients stay ahead.”
Why Weekly Hashrate Matters More Than One-Time Credits
Most mining providers only offer compensation for downtime once or twice a year, often in the form of a one-time hashrate allocation or bill credit. On paper, this may seem like a fair solution. In reality, it is too little and far too late.
Bitcoin rewards are not static. They are distributed every 10 minutes, and their value changes constantly based on market price and network difficulty. If your machine is offline for weeks or months, those missed rewards cannot be recreated later – even if a provider offers you a lump sum or short burst of extra hashrate at the end of the year.
Abundant Mines takes a different approach. With Hashrate Redirect, we replace any downtime with hashrate from our personal fleet. This means you continue earning bitcoin on a rolling basis, staying aligned with market conditions and capturing opportunities in real time.
This approach matters because:
Missed blocks are missed forever. Once they’re mined, they cannot be recreated later.
Network difficulty volatility impacts rewards. Weekly redirection ensures you maximize bitcoin earnings, so that you are not punished for hashing later when difficulty has risen significantly.Compounding matters. Bitcoin earned earlier can be held, deployed, or compounded, creating significantly greater long-term value.
“Timing is everything in bitcoin mining,” said Turner. “By replacing hashrate weekly instead of issuing delayed payouts, we ensure our clients never miss the most valuable moments to earn.”
Setting a Higher Standard
One year after launch, Hashrate Redirect has become more than a feature. It is a new benchmark for performance and a reflection of Abundant Mines’ commitment to transparency, accuracy, and client protection.
“Mining should mean performance, not just power,” Turner said. “Hashrate Redirect has proven that principle for a full year, and we are only getting started.”

NEW YORK, NY — November 18, 2025 — Today marks the release of Bitcoin Is for Everyone: Why Our Financial System Is Broken and Bitcoin Is the Solution, in which award-winning journalist and educator Natalie Brunell offers clarity and hope to readers navigating rising prices, inflation, and economic uncertainty.
Brunell helps readers understand why life feels increasingly unaffordable—and how Bitcoin can empower them to regain control and confidence. As housing, education, and everyday essentials rise faster than wages, Bitcoin Is for Everyone exposes the root cause: a broken monetary system.

Inclusivity: Bitcoin is for everyone—regardless of income, gender, or background.
Hopefulness: By understanding how the system works, readers gain the power to change their relationship with money.
Timeliness: Amid uncertainty, this book provides grounding clarity about money, work, and meaning.
The Human Story: Bitcoin might look technical, but its impact is deeply human. Instead of exhausting ourselves chasing depreciating dollars, Bitcoin lets our work hold its value so we can focus on what truly matters.
Time-preferences: This book reframes how we think about time. As Annie Dillard said, “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.” Understanding sound money helps us think long-term and build lasting value.
Released at a pivotal moment, Bitcoin Is for Everyone offers a clear, hopeful guide to today’s changing financial landscape.

(NASDAQ: RVYL) today announced that legendary Web3 investor Aly Madhavji has agreed to join the soon-to-be-merged company as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), bridging his unique background of traditional finance credentials with deep relationships and experience managing over 200 blockchain infrastructure technology investments.
As CFO, Madhavji will help guide Roundtable’s continued rise through the merger process and NASDAQ listing, while connecting the dynamic blockchain investment community with Roundtable.

Roundtable CEO James Heckman praised Madhavji’s leadership and expertise, stating, “In over 30 years of financing and operating technology companies, I’ve not met someone with more intensity and thoroughness as a board member and investor, which is consistent with his technical and financial acumen. His contribution has been so impressive, we invited him to join this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform an entire industry. Aly has the unique ability to translate the vision of our revolutionary platform to both traditional and blockchain-focused investment communities.”
Madhavji is a licensed Chartered Accountant (CA, CPA, CMA, CIM) with a Master’s in Global Affairs from Tsinghua University (清华大学), an MBA from INSEAD (Singapore/France) where he was a Blockchain Fellow, and a BA in Commerce with Distinction from the University of Toronto, where he serves on the Governing Council.

Madhavji commented, “I’m joining Roundtable as CFO because Roundtable has turned the media industry’s long-aspired Web3 vision into practical reality. The RYVYL merger brings bank-grade payments and public-market discipline; our platform gives publishers what they’ve wanted for years: real-time revenue, transparent reporting, and control of their data, audiences, and IP, only possible with Web3. After diligencing and investing in hundreds of blockchain infrastructure teams, this is the one that stands apart; and why Blockchain Founders Fund made Roundtable our largest investment, and so I’m stepping in to lead our NASDAQ journey and align Roundtable with both traditional and Crypto focused investors.”
Madhavji joins a veteran executive team led by digital media entrepreneur James Heckman and blockchain pioneer Eyal Hertzog. Hertzog, co-founder and architect of Roundtable’s “DeWeb” platform, is widely recognized as the technical inventor of decentralized finance (DeFi), including automated market-making and the liquidity pool mechanisms that underpin the transformative industry – and brought it to market, as the lead architect and founder of Bancor. He also co-founded the first social video platform, MetaCafe, whose recommendation algorithm helped shape the foundation of social media.
Heckman, a serial founder and former senior executive at Yahoo, Google, and News Corp, has built and scaled more than a dozen technology platforms, including Arena Group, which powered digital media for over 300 global brands. He is joined by long-time technology collaborator and co-founder Bill Sornsin as COO, a former senior product leader at Microsoft and co-architect of several global-scale platforms with Heckman.
Together, this leadership team developed Roundtable, the first large-scale, Enterprise-level, Web3-powered media platform integrating decentralized payments, transparent real-time reporting, and on-chain audience and data control, creating next-generation infrastructure for professional publishers and media networks worldwide. Heckman’s prior company, Arena, became a nine-figure public enterprise powering publishing and monetization for global media brands including Sports Illustrated, Maxim, History.com, and TheStreet. His past roles include Head of Global Media Strategy at Yahoo!, Chief Strategy Officer at Fox Interactive, and architect of the $1 billion ad alliance between MySpace, Google, led the team that architected Hulu’s original business model and created the first “Premium Marketplace,” partnered with AOL, Yahoo!, MSN and the top dozen major media corporations..
Altogether Heckman has created and taken public and/or sold to major digital media, ten large-scale ventures, including Rivals.com (acquired by Yahoo!), Scout.com (acquired by Fox), 5to1.com (public, acquired by Yahoo!), NFL Exclusive, and Arena. Remarkably, every business he founded succeeded in sustainability and major industry scale.
