Those who succeed a rewarded with Bitcoins.

What is all of this?

So all of these are our mining rigs Way have a standard hardware but optimized in the design for Bitcoin mining.

It takes this number of computers to stand a realistic chance of mining Bitcoins on winning the Blockchain battle.

Since January, Bitcoin's value soared some 450%.

So with returns like these, you can put up with a bit of noise.
