Bitcoin Shop Successfully Mints Bitcoins
(firmenpresse) - ARLINGTON, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/21/14 -- Bitcoin Shop, Inc. (OTCQB: BTCS) ("Bitcoin Shop" or the "Company"), operator of the digital currency ecommerce marketplace , which is undertaking the build-out of a universal digital currency ecosystem, today announced that through its previously partnership with Hashmaster Tech, LLC ("Hashmaster") its digital currency mining equipment is operational and minting bitcoins.
On September 25, 2014, Bitcoin Shop purchased approximately $42,000 of bitcoin mining hardware for its mining efforts. While operating just 60% of the mining hardware during the initial implementation and testing period and for only one week of operation, Bitcoin Shop's mining efforts produced 2.62 bitcoins (net of all fees) valued at approximately $1,000 (based on an exchange rate of $382 per bitcoin). Bitcoin Shop has committed to invest another $60,000-$80,000 this month into its mining operations.
Charles Allen, Chief Executive Officer of Bitcoin Shop, commented, "Mining bitcoins is not an easy task and one that requires both technical and operational expertise. We are pleased with our initial results and anticipate having all of our recently purchased mining hardware online shortly. Moreover, we plan to rapidly scale our efforts in this business segment which we believe will not only fuel growth and drive revenue but also complement our other business lines."
Bitcoin Shop, Inc. plans to build a universal digital currency platform with the goal of enabling users to engage in the digital currency ecosystem through one point of access.
