Zcash, on purpose
The operation is aimed at Zcash, a proof-of-work network. The machines have to match its algorithm. The reason is technical, and it is set out on the about page.
United Kingdom · Proof-of-work infrastructure
In Motion Mining is developing a large Zcash mining operation around renewable power, starting in the UK, and worldwide.
Surplus renewable electricity, starting in the UK and continuing worldwide.
Cold air can lower the cooling load. It does not remove the need for a design.
Equihash miners. Models and quantities stay unpublished until they are cleared.
A reliable connection for the work. Security arrangements stay off this site.
Sites
In Motion Mining is actively seeking sites, starting in the UK, and worldwide. The company already has sites under management, and it is ready to take on further locations.
We are looking to partner with organisations that have excess or surplus power. Renewable generators, hydro, wind and solar operators, landowners, and industrial sites with stranded or curtailed energy are the partners we want to work with.
01 — The project
A mining facility is a building, a power contract, a cooling path, and a fleet of machines. We are designing those pieces together, and we are still early.
The operation is aimed at Zcash, a proof-of-work network. The machines have to match its algorithm. The reason is technical, and it is set out on the about page.
The size of the hall follows the electricity that can actually be contracted. No tariff and no megawatt figure is published here.
Where the outside air is cold, that can lower the cooling load. The search for sites starts in the UK and continues worldwide.
02 — Energy
Mining turns electricity into the work that orders transactions. The price and the carbon of that electricity decide whether a facility is a sensible thing to build.
The search is for surplus renewable power, starting in the UK and continuing worldwide. Where the climate can do some of the cooling, that is useful. Cheap power is an aim of the search. It is not a promise that the operation will make money.
Read the sustainability and operation pages for the split between what we can say and what is still open.
03 — Places
The search starts here. A UK site needs surplus renewable electricity, a grid connection, and planning permission.
Beyond the UK, the company is seeking sites wherever an organisation has excess or surplus power.
