Our Story
The Story Behind The Mining Shop UK
From one Bitcoin conversation in Paris to a UK team serving miners worldwide.
The Spark
Our founder, Darren Waggott, first came across Bitcoin at an event in Paris in 2012. Having built Kingfisher Computers into one of the UK’s most successful IT support companies, he recognised something familiar: a technology dismissed as a curiosity that was quietly about to matter.
From Hobby to Craft
One miner became racks of them. Through every market surge, halving and crash since, we kept mining, kept learning and kept upgrading. That is the kind of experience you only earn with your own money on the line.
A Shop Built by Miners
The Mining Shop UK grew out of that obsession: Bitcoin enthusiasts, IT professionals, traders and miners under one roof in Hartlepool, with our own board-level repair lab and a straight answer for every question.
Where We’re Headed
We want mining to be something anyone can do properly, whether that is your first machine at home or a hundred in one of our hosting facilities. Tested hardware, real advice and support that doesn’t disappear after checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Mining Shop UK
The things people check before trusting a company with their miners: who we are, how we work and what happens after you order.
Who we are, how long we have been at this and why the company behind your miner matters.
The Mining Shop UK was founded by Darren Waggott, a miner himself since the early days. Today the team covers sales, client success, strategy, repairs and support from our Hartlepool base: Darren, Rebecca Taylor, Colin Carter and Adam Fornal.
You can meet everyone in the team section above, faces, roles and all.
Yes. We trade as The Mining Shop UK Ltd, registered in England with company number 14666497 and VAT number GB482035600.
Our shop and board-level repair lab are at 38 Church Street, Hartlepool, TS24 7DG. The same details appear at the foot of every page, so you always know who you are dealing with.
We have mined crypto since 2011, before The Mining Shop UK existed as a company. Market surges, halvings and crashes included, always with our own money on the line.
Every machine we sell is backed by that first-hand experience, which is worth more than any spec sheet.
Four things under one roof: we sell bench-tested ASIC miners, give honest buying advice, run board-level repairs in our own lab and provide hosting on six continents.
That mix matters. Whatever stage of mining you are at, the same team can help with the next step.
Because we run this hardware ourselves. Advice comes from machines we have actually deployed, tested and repaired, so you hear what a model is really like to live with.
A box-shifter can quote a spec sheet. We can tell you what the fans sound like at two in the morning.
What happens to a machine before it ships, and the support that follows it out the door.
Yes. Every unit, whether Bitmain, MicroBT, IceRiver or any other brand we carry, is inspected and bench-tested in our Hartlepool lab before it ships.
It arrives ready to hash, not ready to troubleshoot.
Support does not disappear after checkout. You get straight answers from people who mine, repairs in our own lab and hosting if running at home stops making sense.
Most customers come back with questions in their first few weeks. We expect that, so ask away.
Yes. Our Hartlepool lab handles board-level repairs, which means we diagnose and fix hashboards and control boards rather than simply swapping parts.
If you bought your machine elsewhere, ask anyway. If it hashes, we can usually help.
Yes. Our hosting runs on six continents with wholesale power from £0.04/kWh, and rewards are paid straight to your own wallet.
It is the answer when home power, noise or space becomes the limit rather than the machine.
All the time, and we enjoy it. Free consultations on earnings, ROI and power costs, in plain English, with no pressure to buy.
Bring your electricity rate and your questions. We will tell you honestly whether mining fits your situation.
Where to find us, when the doors are open and the quickest ways to begin.
Yes. We are a real shop with a real front door at 38 Church Street, Hartlepool, open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
