Company Mines Dash with
Bitcoin to Follow in January 2018
Vancouver, British Columbia - December 15, 2017 - InvestorsHub
NewsWire - HashChain Technology Inc. ("HashChain" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that it has received final approval for
listing on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The common shares of
HashChain will commence trading on the TSXV effective Monday,
December 18, 2017 under the symbol "KASH".
HashChain has raised approximately $4.4 million dollars to date
with 41,179,000 common shares issued and outstanding. The Company
is initially focusing resources on mining Dash and Bitcoin
cryptocurrencies utilizing Application Specific Integrated Circuit
("ASIC") mining rigs, which are high-performance computer systems
used for cryptocurrency mining. The Company is currently operating
100 Dash mining rigs which commenced mining on November 3, 2017 and
has purchased 770 Bitcoin rigs which are expected to be received
and installed to commence mining in January 2018. Both models of
rigs are the most powerful on the market at mining their respective
currencies. With all 870 rigs in full operation, Hashchain's
initial energy consumption dedicated to digital currency mining is
approximately 1.2 megawatts.
HashChain's initial mining operations are hosted at a facility
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at Uniserve. The location
offers all three key factors necessary for efficient and profitable
digital currency mining: low cost of electricity, access to high
speed internet and cool temperatures. HashChain utilizes a web
interface to remotely monitor Hash rates, difficulty levels,
temperatures, rig statuses, and power consumption 24/7 to keep rigs
operating at maximum efficiency.
In addition to mining digital currency, the Company has also
acquired a Dash Masternode for approximately USD $280,000 which
requires a collateral investment of 1,000 Dash coins. Based on
current prices as of December 15, 2017, the Masternode investment
is worth approximately USD $880,000. By holding this investment,
Hashchain receives the right to participate in budget funding
decisions for the Dash network while also receiving a return on
investment in the form of virgin coins and currency
appreciation.
HashChain is comprised of a team that has multiple years of
experience in blockchain development and cryptocurrencies. Patrick
Gray is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of HashChain and
helps lead the overall strategic vision of the Company. Mr. Gray is
a Certified Blockchain Expert recognized by the Blockchain Council.
He has experience building and operating mining hardware and data
centres. He has published articles on blockchain technology,
regularly reads publications, attends blockchain courses and
conferences to further his expertise in the space.
Mr. Gray was hired as one of the first developers for a
start-up, Amici. Amici was sold to Xerox for CAD $220 million in
2006. After the acquisition by Xerox, Mr. Gray continued with Xerox
and became the youngest executive in Xerox's history, leading a
team of 35 developers in the Xerox Litigation Services division,
which became the most profitable division in Xerox at the time, and

Inc. a niche IT Service provider with over 120 employees that
focuses on E-Discovery, E-Licensing, Application Development and
IOT.
"We are giving investors access to a lucrative cryptocurrency
market that they can't take advantage of themselves," explained
Patrick Gray, CEO and Founder HashChain. "Our ideal location for
mining will maximize revenue on each coin, and our proprietary
approach to operations can sustain rapid growth and scalability.
Canada is one of the most optimal locations to mine with low cost
of electricity, low temperatures and good internet connectivity.
Our strategy is to continue deploying rigs in locations with these
three key characteristics. Some key differentiators we have at
HashChain include our management team who are extremely
knowledgeable in the crypto-currency space and have had years of
experience not only buying and selling crypto-currencies but also
building out professional data centres for crypto-currency mining
as well as developing solutions on the Blockchain. With my computer
science background and the managerial expertise I gained from
Xerox, HashChain is positioned to be a global leader in mining. Our
rigs come from some of the largest rig manufacturers in the world,
but we also pride ourselves on having relationships with some of
the smaller rig manufacturers that are coming out with more
efficient mining rigs that consume less electricity and are able to
mine crypto-currencies faster than some of their competitors."
