Yeah I hear ya on the fork. Its coming...end of May at latest I would think for actual trading..News though could come anytime offering up some details. Also I do believe the machines that were up and running in March are in fact ours but being operated by Cryptowatt after reading this again. It's always best to stay conservative. But when the spinout is announced in detail it is very likely that all 6,666 miners will be up and running at that time. And I would not rule out having even more machine than that running or at least on order with delivery expected very soon. To this point this company has blown zero hot air. We are almost thru Q2 already :)
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 25, 2018) - GLOBAL BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (CSE: BLOC) (FSE: BWSP) (OTC Pink: BLKCF) ("GBT" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into an agreement with a turnkey mining operator ("Montana Agreement") to operate Global Blockchain's 6,666 Antminer S9 bitcoin miners, with anticipated delivery commencing in March 2018. (Please refer to the press release dated Dec, 27, 2017.)
"According to industry information this operation should rank very well across competing operations in North-America, once complete," stated Shidan Gouran, President of Global Blockchain. "We are extremely pleased to have been able to find the right partner to operate and monetize our machines and to provide us with the ability to grow into an existing first-rate facility at a large scale of 100 MW."
The Company's industry-leading energy and mining partner has already made 64MW available, the balance available in early Q2. The facilities are located in Anaconda and Butte, Montana, taking advantage of its cool climate, and include a world-class secure data center facility utilizing best of breed technology. Discrete hot and cold aisles support cooling infrastructure with forced air intake along with custom racking designed for maximum density and reducing overall PUE for the facility. Custom software monitors the miners' operating statistics and automatically detects and diagnoses problems in real-time. The facility has exclusive access to an on-site substation allowing for reliable power.
BLOC is examining the purchase of additional Antminer S9s to be delivered in the second quarter of 2018. On site technicians will accommodate the immediate set-up of machines to begin mining upon arrival in late Q1 and early Q2. The Company intends to occupy the entire 100MW of mining capacity.
