Why we built Synthetic Mining and who it's for
We knew what we were doing.
When Oddbeaker LLC launched, we were running two plays simultaneously. My partner was operating ETH GPU miners. I was running a Forex signal service and market-making on crypto exchanges — posting bids and asks on both sides of the orderbook, capturing the spread. On most exchanges at the time, the spreads were embarrassingly wide. We knew how to exploit them.
Mine ETH. Park it on Celsius. Borrow against it. Buy more mining hardware. Repeat. We ran the same play with BTC trading profits — trade, collect, deposit, leverage, expand.
We ran it long enough and well enough to completely recoup every dollar we'd spent on hardware. It was working.
Two external events. Same window. Neither a strategy mistake.
If you were in crypto in 2022, you know what that meant. Accounts frozen. Withdrawals halted. Billions in customer funds gone.
We were among them.
Every GPU rig my partner had built and paid for over years became, overnight, a very expensive space heater.
The mining operation was dead.
We weren't reckless — we were using leverage the same way sophisticated investors do. We just happened to be doing it on infrastructure that turned out to be fraudulent, and on a network that changed its fundamental rules.
The flywheel was dead.
The birth of Synthetic Mining.
I had already been doing what I'd later call Synthetic Mining on BTC pairs. I just hadn't named it or fully understood what I had.
The stash technique — buying slightly more than you sell on every cycle, accumulating the base currency over time — meant you could effectively mine any cryptocurrency off any exchange, regardless of the quote currency.
No hardware. No electricity bill. No custody risk. Your capital stays in your own exchange account the entire time.
Runs in our cloud 24/7. No ASIC miners, no GPU rigs, no electricity costs, no noise.
We have API trading access — but we can never withdraw. That lesson cost us dearly. We built it in from day one.
The stash technique works on any pair, any exchange. Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins — if it trades, it accumulates.
That was the birth of Synthetic Mining. Everything since then has been building the platform around that discovery.
