Title: [2017-08-24] John McAfee raises 2.4 million expand Bitcoin mining operation Post by: sheld0n on August 24, 2017, 11:56:20 AM The bitcoin mining and cybersecurity firm MGT Capital has raised $2.4 million in new funding.
The financing for MGT Capital came as a result of a 10 percent convertible note issued to a firm called UAHC Ventures LLC. The funding, according to statements, will be used to expand MGT's bitcoin mining operations in the northwest US, where plentiful hydropower has attracted more than a few miners. Bitcoin mining is an energy intensive process by which new transactions are added to the blockchain, with new coins being created as a reward for the miner that creates the next transaction block. Profits are earned when the proceeds of mining exceed the cost of electricity and other resources.
