Marathon Digital, the largest Bitcoin mining company by market capitalization, has reportedly been fined $138 million after being found guilty of breaching a non-disclosure or non-circumvention agreement.
Michael Ho, the co-founder of US Bitcoin Corp and the chief strategy officer of mining company Hut 8, won a unanimous jury verdict in his breach of contract lawsuit against Marathon Digital Holdings.
A non-circumvention agreement is a legally enforceable agreement that protects firms or individuals from being bypassed by other parties participating in a transaction.

Will 5G Wearables Elevate VR?
by Angela Scott-Briggs | Tech Bullion
VR has come a long way. It has evolved from massive rigs that take up half a room to sleek and affordable headsets from Meta, HTC and others. The UX has likewise transformed from simple simulated environments to highly immersive experiences with six degrees of freedom. You’ve probably seen how VR is used in gaming, education, and remote work, offering a glimpse into its potential.
Meanwhile, 5G promises ultra-fast speeds, low latency, and high bandwidth. It can revolutionize industries by enabling real-time data transfer and seamless connectivity. This means your VR experiences could become even more lifelike and responsive, making you feel like you’re part of the virtual environment.

Hubble Images a Classic Spiral
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image treats viewers to a wonderfully detailed snapshot of the spiral galaxy NGC 3430 that lies 100 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor. Several other galaxies, located relatively nearby to this one, are just beyond the frame of this image; one is close enough that gravitational interaction is driving some star formation in NGC 3430 — visible as bright-blue patches near to but outside of the galaxy’s main spiral structure. This fine example of a galactic spiral holds a bright core from which a pinwheel array of arms appears to radiate outward. Dark dust lanes and bright star-forming regions help define these spiral arms.
NGC 3430’s distinct shape may be one reason why astronomer Edwin Hubble used to it to help define his classification of galaxies. Namesake of the Hubble Space Telescope, Edwin Hubble authored a paper in 1926 that outlined the classification of some four hundred galaxies by their appearance — as either spiral, barred spiral, lenticular, elliptical, or irregular. This straightforward typology proved extremely influential, and the detailed schemes astronomers use today are still based on Edwin Hubble’s work. NGC 3430 itself is a spiral lacking a central bar with open, clearly defined arms — classified today as an SAc galaxy.
