Block Unveils Proto Rig and Proto Fleet, Marking a New Era in Bitcoin Mining
DALTON, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Block, Inc. (NYSE: XYZ) today unveiled Proto Rig, a first-of-its-kind modular bitcoin mining system, and Proto Fleet, a free and open-source fleet management software. The announcement, made during an event held at Proto customer Core Scientific's facility in Dalton, GA, where Proto Rigs are mining as part of their fleet, represents a significant step toward decentralizing bitcoin mining hardware, opening access to more builders, and increasing network resiliency. These mark the first two end-to-end releases by Proto, Block's suite of bitcoin mining products and services, following its initial chip sale to Core Scientific. Proto Rig: Durable, repairable, upgradeable infrastructure Moving away from disposable hardware models, Proto Rig is designed to be infrastructure—a paradigm shift that solves many existing pain points for miners and signals the company's long-term commitment to the industry. Proto Rig's modular design lets operators upgrade individual hashboards without replacing entire units, transforming what has historically been a 3-5 year disposable asset into a 10-year infrastructure investment, reducing costs by 15-20% each upgrade cycle. It also allows for easy, in-place, tool-free repair, turning a process that can take hours, days, or weeks into one that takes seconds, saving miners valuable time and resources. 'Mining hardware hasn't really changed in years,' said Thomas Templeton, Hardware Lead at Block. ' Machines break often, are hard to repair, expensive and time-consuming to upgrade, and don't make the most efficient use of power or space. With Rig, we set out to change all of that–and contribute to hardware decentralization in the process.' With unmatched power density and maximum miner uptime, Proto Rig delivers 1.5 times the power per foot of rack space compared to traditional mining hardware. Designed to be compatible with modern and legacy infrastructure, Proto Rig gives mining operators the power to maximize efficiency in their existing facilities without requiring extensive retrofitting, addressing long-standing challenges in power utilization and lifecycle management. Proto Fleet: Comprehensive, open source, and free Alongside Proto Rig, Block also announced Proto Fleet, comprehensive, open-source fleet management software that brings together power-scaling, monitoring, diagnostics, and maintenance tools in a single, intuitive platform. 'Mining hasn't really caught up with advances in software more broadly,' said Templeton. ' We saw an opportunity to make mining software something modern that improves operational efficiency instead of unnecessarily complicating things.' Proto Fleet brings together many functionalities that have historically required their own, individual pieces of software to manage, helping miners streamline operations, maximize uptime, and minimize time spent troubleshooting. A big part of Proto's effort to decentralize mining, Proto Fleet will be available for anyone to use, at no cost, giving mining operators of all sizes access to powerful fleet management software. All of these advancements together—on-rack, tool-free repairability, high-quality components, swappable hashboards, and backwards compatibility—mean more uptime across install, repairs, upgrades, and ultimately the life of the machine. The reveal of both products builds on Block's long track record of building transformational technology and rounds out the company's broader commitment to bitcoin across Square, Cash App, Bitkey, and Spiral.

Thousands expected for opening day of Fleadh in Wexford
Thousands of people are expected to gather for the opening day of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2025 which is being held in Wexford town for the second year in a row. The Irish music festival will run for eight days, with organisers saying this year will be bigger than last year. President Michael D Higgins will officially open the Fleadh at a ceremony on Wexford's quay front, where he will address the crowd from the "Gig Rig" - a specially constructed stage that will play host to hundreds of free music events over the next week. Organisers expect more people than last year to attend, with 700,000 people due to visit the county town of Wexford for the world's biggest traditional Irish music festival. Chief Executive of Wexford County Council Eddie Taff said last year the 650,000 visitors who came for the Fleadh gave a €65m boost to the local economy. He said the town has been a "hub of activity" for the last few weeks as the organisers and volunteers, local businesses and local people aim to have an even bigger and better Fleadh than last year. There will be around 40,000 - 50,000 competitors taking part in 180 competitions over a three-day period from next Friday. Those musicians, dancers, singers and storytellers will compete at the different venues which are located across the town. There will be 1,000 volunteers to help people find their way around Wexford town where hundreds of gigs and sessions will take place, while visitors will also enjoy the many buskers who will entertain them on the winding, narrow streets. Wexford County Council have a traffic management plan with diversions, street closures and park and ride routes for visitors. There will also be extra public transport services for the duration of the festival.

Survey to check impact of land acquisition for Noida airport phase 3 & 4
NOIDA : A door-to-door survey from Monday will study the impact on landholdings, livelihoods, homes, public utilities and community resources in 14 villages from where land will be acquired for the expansion of Noida International Airport in phases 3 and 4. Two runways and a global aerospace manufacturing hub are proposed on 2,053 hectares—of which 1,857 hectares are privately owned and will be acquired from 14 villages—in two of the four-phase development of the airport. A runway, a terminal building and an air traffic control tower are coming up on 1,334 hectares acquired in phase 1, while MRO and aviation hubs are proposed on the 1,365 hectares acquired in phase 2. A social impact assessment (SIA) undertaken by Gautam Buddha University and approved by the state govt in Jan had found around 8,400 families across 14 villages—Thora, Neemka Shahjahanpur, Khwajpur, Ramner, Kishorepur, Banwaribas, Parohi, Muqimpur Shivara, Jewar Bangar, Sabauta Mustafabad, Ahmedpur Chaurauli, Dayanatpur, Bankapur, and Rohi—in Jewar tehsil would be displaced in the last two phases. The latest survey, to be undertaken by 49 teams, comprising officials from district administration and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority, will draw up census and statistical data of families affected by the land acquisition. DM Manish Verma said the survey will be carried out under Section 16 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and completed by June 15. SDM Jewar Abhay Singh told TOI that based on the survey, a draft rehabilitation and resettlement scheme will be drawn up. "This will outline entitlements for both landowners and landless families. It will also list the resettlement provisions in terms of infrastructure and amenities. A draft will then be published and a public hearing held to gather objections or suggestions," he added. The draft, along with a report on the objections, will be submitted to the district collector, and subsequently to the commissioner, for approval. "Once approved, a final scheme will be published and a formal declaration of the resettlement area announced. If not already done, a detailed land survey will be initiated to mark and measure the required land and prepare its layout. The award for land acquisition will be made within 12 months of the declaration. The collector will determine the market value of the land and calculate the compensation. A solatium, which is an additional 100% of the compensation, will be added as mandated. The final land acquisition will then proceed through an agreement between the landowners and the state," Singh said. In March, UP announced that landlosers will be entitled to Rs 4,300 per square metre in compensation, which is 40% higher than the Rs 3,100 per sqm offered in the second phase. In phase 1, UP offered Rs 2,100 per sqm in compensation. A notification issued by the civil aviation department recently stated that under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, displaced families will be rehabilitated to areas equipped with basic amenities like roads, water, electricity, sewerage, parks, community halls, schools, hospitals, as well as religious places, like temples and mosques, as per their social and cultural background.
