When Block’s Proto Rig becomes more widely available, does Simple Mining have plans to offer them to clients with hosting service?

The tariff point is intresting especially with CAN positioning themselves as an alternative to Bitmain's dominace. Their AvalonMiners have been gaining traction with smaller operators who want to diversfy away from single supplier risk. Culd be a smart play if tarifs really start sqeezing margins on Chinese imports.

I want to see ASIC manufacturing in the U.S. (and is the 3rd piece of the puzzle to become the 'mining superpower')

The power cost dynamics you outlined are realy spot on, especially for CIFR which has been crushing it with their operatonal efficiency. Their ability to scale hashrate wile managing costs has been impressive this year. Wonder if the sovereign bid scenario would actualy push them to aquire more domestic capacity.

Sovereign bid or not, power capacity is being rewarded handsomely, which is why we are seeing the pivot (this could also include a masked strategic development of hash-capable infrastructure)
