Cloud Miner is part of the company’s ‘du Tech’ portfolio and leverages du’s nationwide data centres and advanced ICT infrastructure. Instead of purchasing mining hardware or securing high electricity capacity, users can rent computing power through subscription packages. The bidding process for these mining subscriptions will run on Online Auction from November 3 to 9.
By providing mining capacity via the cloud, du removes the complexity usually associated with bitcoin mining, including equipment setup, energy consumption, maintenance, and technical risk. Once a customer subscribes, mining operations begin almost instantly, granting users access to potential Bitcoin rewards and participation in the wider blockchain and crypto markets without the burden of self-operated infrastructure.
