SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TimefireVR, Inc. (OTCQB:TFVR) (the "Company"), d/b/a TeraForge, today announced the strategic relocation of its mining operation to Allentown, PA, previously referred to as ‘Site 4’, in partnership with ColocationGuard ( www.ColocationGuard.com ). The Company has also entered into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of 168 GTX 1070 GPU Mining Rigs (1008 new GPUs) and other mining equipment.
TeraForge is in the process of moving its existing mining equipment from Brooklyn, NY to Allentown, PA where the Company will become ColocationGuard’s anchor tenant. The new location is expected to increase its capacity with infrastructure in place for expansion, significantly reduce operating expenses including cost of electricity and provide a platform for adoption of a more efficient system management.
Jonathan Read, Chief Executive Officer of TimefireVR, d/b/a TeraForge, stated, “Together with Donald D’Avanzo and his team at ColocationGuard, we carefully evaluated the relocation of our existing mining operation where we could increase our capacity significantly and improve operational efficiencies. We estimate the move to Allentown to increase our capacity by 84% while reducing our operating expenses. As part of the move, we have entered into a definitive agreement to invest approximately $700,000 in additional mining equipment and have already acquired the GPU cards. We anticipate completing the move of our existing mining equipment from Brooklyn to Allentown during the current third quarter with all new and existing equipment operational by September 2018.”
Donald D’Avanzo, Director of Datacenter Operations at ColocationGuard, commented, “After the successful implementation of Phases 1 and 2 we were able to collaborate further with Teraforge on a strategy that was diversified and inline with their vision of tapping into multiple blockchain networks to maximize profitability. Furthermore, we were able to couple this approach with a new upcoming location that has lower electric rates, economic and expandable cooling, room for expansion and plenty of power capacity already onsite to tap into when needed. A win-win for both our organizations.”
To date, the Company has mined 1.2 Bitcoin and 3 Ethereum.
