MegaBigPower

MegaBigPower (megabigpower.com)

MegaBigPower refers to a Bitcoin mining operation and mining‑pool operator that was active in the early/mid‑2010s and is commonly described in Bitcoin community documentation as an industrial-scale mine (i.e., a large Proof‑of‑Work “miner”, and therefore also a participant in transaction/block validation in Bitcoin’s PoW sense). (en.bitcoin.it)

What it was (miner–validator context)

• Miner (PoW): MegaBigPower operated large quantities of ASIC hashing equipment to mine Bitcoin blocks (and thereby confirm/validate transactions by producing valid blocks). (datacenterknowledge.com)
• Pool operator identity: Bitcoin Wiki notes a coinbase signature associated with the pool: megabigpower.com. (en.bitcoin.it)

Who ran it

• Contemporary reporting identifies Dave (David) Carlson as CEO of MegaBigPower and describes the company as one of North America’s larger mining operations at the time. (datacenterknowledge.com)

Where it operated

• Bitcoin Wiki summarizes MegaBigPower as “a mine located in Poland and Washington state.” (en.bitcoin.it)
• Multiple articles place its industrial mining footprint in central Washington (Wenatchee / Columbia River basin), highlighting low-cost hydro power as a key factor. (datacenterknowledge.com)

Later development / successor relationship

• A 2018 U.S. court filing describes Carlson’s later company Giga Watt, Inc. as a successor to MegaBigPower, and states that Carlson sold MegaBigPower’s assets to Giga Watt, Inc. (bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com)
