Many years ago, I had Spondoolies Tech[0] Bitcoin miners. I've never understood the name, but maybe the owners liked oysters?

Spondoolies is a slang word for money: https://www.etymonline.com/word/spondulicks . I'd be surprised if there's any more to it than that, but according to the Wikipedia article, the shells were used as currency, so at least it's plausible as an etymology.
