China's largest filecoin mining farm



Filecoin is booming in China. The construction of a large mining facility is now planned.

The Chinese blockchain consortium IPFSUnion is planning to build a huge facility to mine Filecoin. It is supporting the construction of the Jiangxi Big Data Industrial Park with a “large investment”.


The amount of the investment was given on the Internet at 1.3 billion US dollars. Meanwhile, the number has disappeared from the announcement blog post on the Filecoin website. What is certain, however, is that the planned plant has the blessing of the Chinese government. A local industrial fund also contributed $ 15 million to build the mining center in the city of Fuzhou, eastern China.

The largest filecoin project in China

The IPFSUnion is a consortium that specializes in cloud services and distributed file systems. Members include the Chinese retail giant Alibaba as well as large tech companies such as Microsoft, SAP, Huawei, and AMD. The association has been participating in the crypto space since 2016. A special focus is on the IPFS protocol for data exchange, which also forms the basis of the Filecoin ecosystem. With cryptocurrency, users can automatically rent out free storage space. The Filecoin course has gone through the roof in the past few months.

The mining center should therefore also be a large facility for data storage. IPFSUnion would like to set up 100,000 to 150,000 servers and is planning to build a production facility to manufacture additional network computers. The consortium also claims to be working on the development of a cloud service for the industry. One wants to push the prices down to a tenth of what the competition demands.

Cardano price forecast – price breaks out! Are we near $1.5 soon?

 In our last Cardano price prediction , we wrote that the price could break out soon. The reason for this was a symmetrical triangle. This triangle was performed after the crash, so we expected the price to break down. But now the course has broken out of the triangle in a bullish manner. But how far could the course rise or what is the goal? Today we will explain to you about the Cardano course ! Cardano price broke out of the triangle and was able to rally to the $1.19 resistance. We tested this resistance, and a short time later the price was sold off. The triangle's target was around $1.23, so we now believe the price has completed the target. As a result, we no longer expect a further increase. Instead, the price could now descend and possibly form new lows. If the price breaks the $1.19 resistance, the price could rally to around $1.5. There is the next resistance where the Cardano price could bounce. If Cardano price fails to break the $1.19 resistance, we would expect the p...

Cardano founder doubts Bitcoin's future as world reserve currency

  Cardano's founder doesn't believe Bitcoin has what it takes to become the world's leading currency. Charles Hoskinson stated in a recent interview that he didn't think Bitcoin would become the world reserve currency. According to the founder of Cardano, a cryptocurrency with smart contract features would become the global reserve currency. Hoskinson believes Cardano or Ethereum would become the world reserve currency. A global reserve currency must offer services like smart contracts, metadata standards, and improved throughput that complete enormous transactions per second. According to the Cardano founder , the scarcity of Bitcoin is due to the high cost of production: "If you make paintings, one of which you have to paint by hand and the other by machine, and both look the same and the demand for both is the same, then the effort for one is a thousand times greater than for the other." Hoskinson spoke about Bitcoin's massive energy consumption, addin...
