Small crypto miners are fixed on dwindling cities and dilapidated buildings

crypto mining companies have targeted small US communities for opportunistic, new Bitcoin mining systems.

Larger crypto mining companies, including Plan C Crypto and Perceptform, leave the big city for overlooked, smaller cities and municipalities to revive abandoned properties and create higher-paid jobs.

empty buildings in cities far from large cities offer cheaper properties, in addition to the possibility of based on local, more affordable power grids, Antonio Bestard, CEO from Plan C Crypto, told Blockworks.

"If everyone goes to Austin or Miami, we want to build somewhere else," said Christopher Perceptions, CEO from Perceptform, to Blockworks. "There are 50 countries, so we want to go where others are not."

The company offers crypto and blockchain products, including perceptmine, a social Bitcoin mining company that token and share parts of the income from the profit of a facility.

Percept form provides mining systems in North Carolina, Wyoming and Wisconsin and then plans to gain a foothold in 20 to 30 other cities.

"These three markets are getting huge," said Perceptions. "If we can build there, we can go anywhere. It will offer opportunities for education and jobs and also create financial incentives."

Plan C Crypto, the Californian crypto-data miner, said his choice of Fayetteeville, North Carolina, as a regional headquarters, an old factory that has been left for 20 years will breathe new life into. The city has over 200,000 inhabitants and Fort Bragg, the largest military base in the state.

"In Fayetteville, the regional headquarters will withdraw veterans from Fort Bragg and train them to work technicians and finally factory managers, directly from the army," said Bestard. "If a soldier can repair something in the middle of a battlefield, he can repair something in a crypto mining system."

The company focuses on operating the public power grid by enabling public supply companies to buy more renewable energy through its demand-response programs. The Fayetteeville location will be the fourth in the state.

"We move quietly into the community and will bring you jobs without disturbing the area," said Bestard. "We undertake to be a noisy neighbor divingbergbau and remove the loud fans. "

BESTARD said that the company is planning to create more than 200 jobs with salaries between $ 60,000 and $ 100,000 a year-which, according to Ziprecruiter, puts the average annual salary of Fayetteeville of $ 53,627 $ Data .

"In the Mining World, the turn that happens in communities when a large mining farm is used there can change life," Mason Jappa, CEO of Blockware Solutions, told Blockworks. "The use in rural areas that are affected by an opioid crisis, decimated economies or low morals can occur a mining company and health care, retirement provision and offer [the] opportunity to change a city."

In the past, Plan C has set up institutions in El Centro, California, and Tarboro, North Carolina. Similar to the Fayetteeville location, the demonstration system in El Centro took over a building that was empty for seven years, he added. In April the expansion to other cities in North Carolina such as Wilson and Boone is planned.

"There are so many dead properties. What do we do when we run away when we should go there?" We used the dead.
