The block chain infrastructure provider and transaction processing company also has offices in San Francisco and Amsterdam.Speaking of the investment, Eprem Urumashvili, BitFury’s official representative in Georgia stated: Georgia will have three main benefits – a $100 million USD investment, to bring modern information technologies into the country and to be added to the innovative technologies world map.BitFury’s current 20Mw data center operating in Gori is serving bitcoin transactions with up to 6,000 servers every day.Company insiders have deemed the Gori data center (opened in July 2014) to be “a major success”.As a consequence, “they saw further potential in continuing doing business and investing in this country (Georgia).” BitFury had acquired privatized land of 185,000 square meters from the Georgian National Agency of State Property in the Gldani district in Tbilisi in order to develop the Georgian Technology Park Project.The new 100MW data center will help process transactions using the company’s 28 nm ASIC chips and the upcoming 16 nm ASIC chips.
The company has already developed its third-generation immersion cooling system that will help high-performance computing applications with energy-saving data center cooling systems.To cool the systems, a large amount of energy in the form of electricity is necessary.Georgia was chosen as the preferred destination for the data centers due to electricity costs being cheaper than other countries.The low energy prices coupled with a competitive labor market were also significant factors behind the call to install data centers in Georgia.BitFury’s third generation immersion cooling system is set to further decrease energy costs with the installation of the block chain infrastructure provider’s second data center in Georgia.In July, the Bitcoin community came together to raise over $64,000 in bitcoins as a part of a fundraising campaign to help victims of devastating floods in Georgia’s capital city.The fully transparent donation process was achieved with block chain technology.Speaking about company’s interests in Georgia, BitFury CEO Valery Vavilov said: BitFury Group has been active in Georgia since 2014.
Our first project, implemented in partnership with Georgian Co-Investment Fund, turned out to be very successful and gave more confidence to expand our business there.This summer we started our second project in Georgia, which envisages the development of the modern ‘Technology Park’.Images from Shutterstock and BitFury.Bitcoin mining has become a multi-billion dollar industry.Bitcoin miners have collectively earned over $2 billion in revenue since the cryptocurrency was established in 2008, according to an estimate from a new report published by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.Bitcoin mining is how transactions on the bitcoin network get processed.Transactions in bitcoin are bundled into “blocks,” and it’s the job of miners to confirm those blocks are legitimate.This happens when a miner successfully solves a cryptographic puzzle attached to each block, gaining a payout called the “block reward.” This payout halves every four years; the current reward is 12.5 bitcoins per block, or $15,350 at today’s prices.
The twist is this: miners must compete with one another with greater computational power to solve the puzzle and win the payout.These incentives have led to a massive increase in complexity and need for computational power.In bitcoin’s early days, people mined the cryptocurrency on their home computers.Today, server farms of thousands of custom-designed machines around the world compete with one another to solve the puzzle first.Revenues generated by the bitcoin mining sector could be significantly higher, the report says.The estimate only accounts for revenues earned from block rewards and fees paid by bitcoin users for having their transactions processed.It doesn’t include revenue from selling mining equipment, or providing “cloud mining” services, which let subscribers share in block rewards for a fee, without having to operate their own equipment.Importantly, the estimate doesn’t account for capital gains from cashing out of bitcoin strategically, since the researchers assumed block rewards were immediately converted to US dollars.
