NORDCOIN,
a startup out of Estonia that calls itself a "scalable and efficient
cryptocurrency mining farm" has an assemblage of refurbished 40-foot
shipping containers outfitted with computers and cooling mechanism that
can be moved around.
The idea is that the shipping containers
will chase cheap, green energy, ideally in countries with cool
climates, reported Curbed.
The company says this mobile set-up is beneficial in a couple of ways:
First, it frees crypto operations from becoming tied to a city or
government. Second, cheaper energy ultimately makes for a more efficient
and cost-effective way to mine cryptocurrency. The company currently
has four functioning units and has begun raising funds to build up to 30
more.
"We believe that future crypto-mining operations should be
decentralised, mobile and independent from any single government, as
well as placed in a region with a surplus of electricity production,"
the founders say.
