The ViaBTC mining pool and the Russian industrial mining operator BitCluster announced a strategic collaboration to develop integrated solutions for efficient cryptocurrency mining. ForkLog reported this, citing representatives of the Russian company.
Miners hosting devices at BitCluster facilities will receive preferential terms from the ViaBTC pool to boost their profits. ViaBTC clients will be able to use BitCluster hosting services for $0.025 in the first month.
ViaBTC will also provide BitCluster with an independent server and a domain address. This will reduce latency and ensure a high-quality, stable connection to the pool.
Daily payouts to clients will continue as normal.
The partner and chief operating officer of ViaBTC Group, Eddie Jiang, noted that the partnership would accelerate the pool’s expansion into Russia and the CIS.
Earlier in October BitCluster opened large data centre on the site of the closed NorNickel plant in Norilsk. The company estimates that the data centre’s total computing power could potentially reach around 1% of the total Bitcoin network hash rate.
