Alejandro de la Torre has been a key figure in Bitcoin mining and pooled mining industry for over a decade. Alejandro is the only person that can claim to have taken a pool to #1 spot twice. First when he co-founded BTC dot com and took it to #1 in 2018, and then again in 2019 with Poolin. He helped Block develop its ASIC and single-handedly coordinated all of the pools for the Miner Activated Soft Fork (MASF) of Taproot.⁠

Today, he’s the co-founder of DMND, the first fully Stratum V2 pool, focused on decentralizing mining by giving miners full control over block construction while increasing profits for miners.⁠
