The Company has been testing rig designs for optimization of cryptocurrency mining for one month before ramping up to 32 mining rigs and then, through an anticipated $5 million financing, expanding to 750 rigs to take advantage of currently available space. Due to the fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, the cryptocurrencies focused on will change from time to time but will likely include Ethereum, Ripple, Monero, Litecoin, Dash, and Z-Cash.
“The approach of most companies in this space has been to rent server farms, build in cold climates, or construct new farms based on currently available parts and products,” stated A. Paul Gill, CEO. “Our approach is from an engineering standpoint – the focus is on creating new designs for cryptocurrency mining - efficiency, cost effectiveness and the longevity of the mining rig units at optimal production is paramount.”
