HIVE, based in Canada, announced it would launch a "cloud mining" installation that would start producing cryptocurrencies this September.
HIVE Blockchain Technologies announced the launch of 200 Petahashes (PH) power cloud mining this September in line with an agreement with Genesis Mining. The addition of 200 PH of mining power SHA-256 was stipulated in a December 2017 agreement between the two companies. Initially, it was decided that capacity will be added to Sweden by building a large structure, but according to the revised new agreement, the 200 PH will be offered on the basis of a cloud mining adaptation until the mining production platforms will be delivered within the next year.
