About
Crypto mining education from a Riverland shed and classroom
Webmapleway Pty Ltd is the registered business name behind the lessons, workshops, and assessments on this site.
Gabrielle Silcock
Gabrielle leads every public workshop and most private assessments. Her background sits between adult education and hands-on hardware: years of explaining electricity tariffs to neighbours who wanted a second opinion before buying noisy machines for rural sheds.
She established Webmapleway Pty Ltd in 2019 after informal Saturday sessions outgrew the kitchen table. Early classes focused on GPU frames; today the syllabus centres on ASIC noise, SA summer cooling, and reading pool statements without marketing fog.
Working approach
We start with your bill and your space, not a product catalogue. Demonstrations use sample hardware so you can hear and feel what “quiet enough for a suburban block” actually means. When a question needs a licensed electrician, we say so plainly and pause the purchase conversation.
Values
- Prefer a smaller, cooler setup that stays online over a hotter pile of hashrate
- Respect neighbours, landlords, and shared walls
- Keep advice local to Australian tariffs and climate
- Separate education from hardware sales — we do not earn commissions on miner purchases
Brief history
2019 — first paid group sessions in Glossop covering GPU mining basics and power draw worksheets.
2021 — Home Setup Assessments added after several learners asked for on-site help with ventilation before summer.
2023 — Mining Fundamentals became the flagship half-day workshop with a fixed seat price and printed pack.
Today — workshops rotate through Glossop and hired Riverland rooms; coaching sessions continue by appointment for people already running machines.
