BitBlox Technologies Inc. Announces Launch of Proprietary Cryptocurrency Mining Facility

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 23, 2018) - BitBlox Technologies Inc. ("BitBlox"), a leading-edge technology company that focuses on the mining of cryptocurrencies like Ether (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC) and Zcash (ZEC), and the development of next generation cryptocurrency technologies, has launched its first proprietary Cryptocurrency Mining facility, located in Southwestern Ontario. BitBlox has also entered into an agreement with Gunpowder Capital Corp., ("Gunpowder") to provide BitBlox back office administration support. BitBlox and Gunpowder expect to expand their strategic relationship in the coming months.

Cryptocurrency "mining" is the term used for transaction verification services provided within a blockchain network. The verification process uses computing and cryptography to solve complex mathematical transactions. Successfully verified transactions get added to a public ledger, more commonly known as the blockchain. Individual blocks, added by cryptominers like BitBlox, are called a proof of work (POW) and results in the release of new currency or "coins" - which are the incentive for miners participating on the network.

As demand increases within the crypto economy, higher fees for verifying transactions have added to the Crypto Mining value proposition. BitBlox Technologies offers a targeted approach to operational efficiency that takes best advantage of the enhanced profit potential within the sector. Located in a 5,000-sq. ft. leased facility (with an option to expand to 10,000 sq. ft.), BitBlox has retrofitted its cryptocurrency mining facility for optimized performance of its operations. State of the art facility solutions are used, with mining hardware customized to be more power efficient and deliver higher computational ability than most other systems generally available on the market. Highly optimized hardware configurations and strategic and advanced facility planning translates into a well-tuned and efficient mining infrastructure and capability, positioning BitBlox with a market advantage.

For its initial Proof of Concept (POC), BitBlox is deploying 126 GPU card equivalents of processing capability, with a potential planned scale-up to 8000 GPU card equivalents within a six-month timeframe. The operation has a primary focus on GPU mining to harvest value within the burgeoning alt coin market, which the Company anticipates growing larger as the smart contract functionality unique to the Ethereum blockchain, as one example, sees further adoption. At the same time, the BitBlox mining operation takes a balanced approach, switching to ASIC mining on the Bitcoin blockchain at times when rates of return are proved more favorable.

Moving forward, the BitBlox vision is to constantly seek better ROI through investments in leading-edge and proprietary technology. As the blockchain continues to scale and see adoption as the global network for value transfer, BitBlox is investing in the development of crypto-mining IP and other relevant applications. The Ethereum blockchain in particular is designed as a matrix for smart contract functionality. BitBlox envisions the building out of this technology through development of machine learning and other forms of AI. Its business priority is to invest in R&D to enhance ongoing value capture within in this emerging sector.
