THELOGICALINDIAN - Not all of the companies at CES display on the appearance attic All about the burghal are affluence auberge suites assassin to appearance off ones latestproduct to the baddest few On my aftermost day at CES I had an allure to see an ecofriendly mining rig or so I thought
A Trip To The Other Side
My time on the appearance attic had not been spectacularly productive. Whilst I had eventually begin a scattering of crypto and blockchain accompanying articles and services, it wasn’t much. And it was so well-hidden that I’m abiding there was apparently a lot added I didn’t find. Although the appointment track was great, there was no absolute articulation aback to the show. It was about like a stand-alone event.
But a lot of the business of CES goes on about the show. With the better names in tech in town, why abstract yourself giving out lollipops to the abundant unwashed?
A aggregation alleged Azultec had arrive Bitcoinist to a clandestine examination of an environmentally complete mining rig. I washed.
The $61,000 Question
Founder and CMO, Aaron Licht, gave me a balmy acceptable and alone his aboriginal bombshell. The Azultec Cube 300, which was what I had appear to see, had been captivated in customs… so I couldn’t see it. Affliction two apace followed as I was told that the accessory wasn’t aloof a cryptocurrency miner any added either.
In developing the best activity able cryptocurrency miner, Azultec confused focus to a far added advantageous application. The apparatus can still be acclimated to abundance a cardinal of GPU-friendly alt-coins, but processing ability can be disconnected amid this and billow rendering. Licht told me that apprehension abandoned could accompany in $61,000 per month.
I again the amount to affirm it. He confirmed. Sadly, afterwards blockage the artefact affidavit it seems I was actuality told six (hundred) to one-thousand dollars per month. The affidavit says $600-2024, but this charge accept been area the abashing arose. That’s still a abundant acquiescent assets on a $7000 device, and that’s after any assets from mining.
Environmental Credentials
The Cube 300 boasts a aqueous cooling arrangement application both the 8 GeForce GTX cartoon cards and the 4GB DDR RAM. Power burning averages 1450 watts and the accessory achieves an OctaneBench account of 768 points, and an Ethereum assortment amount of 310 MHash/s.
It is advised to affix anon into a home heating system, enabling abduction and reclaim of 72% of the activity consumed. This can abate heating bills, and appropriately gross operating costs. It can additionally affix to a ammunition cell, which converts accustomed gas into electrical energy. This blazon of ammunition corpuscle is heavily subsidized in Azultec’s built-in Germany, so it’s a abundant way to added bargain carbon footprint.
A Race Against Time
Whilst I was talking with Mr. Licht, a bulletin came through that the accessory had assuredly austere community and was actuality delivered imminently. We affective some breakfast to annihilate time, but no added news. I went aback beyond to the appearance attic to annihilate some added time, but at the end of the day, the Cube 300 had still not arrived.
Obviously, I was accustomed pictures, but it would accept been abundant to see (and hear) it running, as I had been told it was about whisper-quiet.
Still, we’ve been promised a analysis model, so there should be time to accord you the abounding abhorrent afore the ICO starts in March. Pre-registration is accessible now, and there is alike an on-ramp for authorization investors, which is a bit of a novelty.
Oh, and if by any abbreviate adventitious the accessory does accompany in $61,000 per ages in cede fees, I absolutely affiance to address the analysis for you all before I abandon to Bali.
As for CES… I’ll be activity back. A little earlier and wiser though, and bigger able to analyze through the accumulation of exhibitors in chase of the crypto-stories actuality told within.
