MineSpot will launch a 160 MW mining center in Kodinsk
The enterprise will be located next to the Boguchanskaya HPP. The mining center will be located in a building on the territory of the boiler house, which previously served the construction site of the hydroelectric power station.
According to the co-founder of MineSpot, Adam Aushev, there are BTC and ETH miners among the potential clients of the center, so ASIC miners and video cards will be placed on the site.
The center will operate as a “mining hotel,” that is, it will host customer devices on its territory and charge them for electricity and technical support. The company can also purchase ASIC miners on behalf of customers, ordering them directly from manufacturers in China, and deliver them to the center.
MineSpot will compete with other mining centers that use electricity from the Irkutsk and Bratsk HPPs. However, the location of the new venture can become logistically challenging due to the quality of the roads and the resulting difficulties in delivering ASIC miners.
“Several contracts have already failed due to problems with logistics,” Aushev said. However, he noted that he plans to conclude contracts for the lease of facilities for at least 10 MW by the end of the year.
Whale completes largest transaction in bitcoin history, moving $ 1.15 billion of coins
On Monday, an unknown person carried out the largest Bitcoin transaction in terms of dollars for the entire existence of a cryptocurrency.
According to a blockchain observer, the owner of the third largest bitcoin wallet moved 88,857 BTC, or about $ 1.15 billion at current rates. The transaction processing fee was 0.00027847 BTC ($ 3.50).
The initial wallet was created on August 6 and soon began to receive transfers, as a result of which it quickly became one of the leading holders of bitcoin. The coins withdrawn from it were not sent to the address of any well-known service where they could be sold.
The CrystalBlockchain analytics service indicates that the wallet may be linked to the Xapo custodian. In 2019, it was acquired by the American exchange Coinbase, which controls the largest volume of bitcoins in circulation to date.
The previous record was set by Bitfinex, which moved 161,500 BTC worth $ 1.1 billion in April for a fee of $ 0.68. The largest transaction by the number of bitcoins transferred belongs to the defunct Mt. Gox. In November 2011, she sent 550,000 BTC worth $ 1.32 million then and $ 7 billion now.

Celo Foundation launched Celo mainnet
The Celo Foundation has announced the launch of the mainnet. Users can now transfer Celo Gold tokens purchased at the fund's recent auction.
Celo Gold Transfer (cGLD) is now available through on-net control, as the developers reported on the company's blog. This means that exchanges can integrate freely with the platform. The company thanked more than 100 independent validators around the world “for the commitment, passion, experience and participation in building the network”.
The Celo Foundation raised $ 10 million last week through a CoinList auction. The sale lasted for 12 hours, and the cGLD was on sale at $ 1 per token. Among the participants in the auction were both people who wanted to become validators on the Celo network, and ordinary users. Now, with the launch of the mainnet, bidders can send and receive their cGLDs.
The funds raised during the last auction represent only a quarter of all assets invested in Celo. The company previously raised $ 30 million from Polychain Capital and Andressen Horowitz. The Celo Foundation announced that it will continue to fund the development of applications for the Celo ecosystem, with 132 applications already submitted for the second wave of grants.
“The expected next steps for the Celo platform include adding off-chain prices for Celo Gold to the chain through a series of oracles, the launch of the Celo Dollar and finally releasing the mainnet version of the Celo Wallet,” the developers said.
