Blockchain technology is severely disrupting data center infrastructure, especially in the avenue of Cryptocurrency. Investment firms are investing millions into the development and deployment of Blockchain technology to bolster data centers, as well as enhance mining operations. Digital currencies remain a hot topic in the markets and leaders in Cryptocurrency aim to leverage Blockchain to make it both more secure and accessible. Additionally, it enables leading miners to channel more computing power in order to more effectively manage mining efforts. When harnessed correctly, Blockchain could potentially provide immense benefits to Cryptocurrency miners and raise revenues in the already multi-billion dollar space. One trend in the market is acceptance of cryptocurrency by retailers. The rising trend of acceptance of cryptocurrency by retailers is one of the key factors driving the growth of the cryptocurrency mining hardware market. Large retailers are steadily adopting cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether for carrying out their financial transactions. Active tech companies in the markets this week include Mining Power Group, Inc. (OTC:RCGR), Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTC:CIIX), Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC:GBTC), DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V:DMGI) (OTC:DMGGF), Block One Capital Inc. (TSX-V:BLOK) (OTC:BKPPF).

Mining Power Group, Inc. (OTCPK:RCGR) BREAKING NEWS : Mining Power Group announced today that its majority-owned subsidiary, Northway Mining, LLC, ("Northway") which offers highly specialized data center hosting services for cryptomining, has signed a 2-year, $270,000 per month hosting contract with Proof Computing, LLC., a U.S.-based firm which will yield approximately $6,480,000 million in revenues to Northway over the 2 years.

The contract encompasses the hosting of about 3,150 miners, including up to 25,000 GPU's, projected to consume about 5 MW hours of electricity per month. Under the terms of the contract, the client is paying a $540,000, or two-month, advance deposit for the hosting services which will cover installation, set up and equipment testing services by Northway. The contract runs from approximately August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2020 and is renewable.

Northway is a cryptocurrency mining hosting facility that provides hosting, electricity, cooling, maintenance, insurance, downtime coverage, OS installation (GPU) assistance, setup & security, and more, including especially low rates for electricity, that reduces client costs and is a major competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The Company had just recently acquired a majority interest in Northway Mining, which has current revenues. In addition, it acquired real estate assets of substantial value including 30 acres of flat surrounding land that will be used for future expansion of Northway's data center facilities. Northway presently has over 5000 square feet of secure crypto mining space.

Dror Svorai, President and CEO, stated, "One of the key reasons we did this acquisition, was that we saw that we were carving out a special niche in this market, where we were not actually competing with cryptomining companies, but we could provide top of the line & state of the art facilities and services that every company in the field would want and utilize. We are not competing with them but are servicing them. That way, the whole market could become our clients… NOT our competition."
