Golden Fleece Project, an ambitious altcoin and cryptocurrency mining operation is ready to initiate the first stage of its GFL ICO set to begin on August 15th. The team recently finished their pre-sale which ended on July 30th. Golden Fleece plans to expand and build up a cryptocurrency mining data center on the Black Sea coast in Georgia, a country at the intersection of Europe and Asia.

Why Georgia? Simply put, Georgian legislation is supportive of cryptocurrency. One of the top Georgian banks, Liberty Bank is trading bitcoin and litecoin. Moreover, Bitfury, a leading blockchain technology company recently partnered with Georgia’s National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) to put their data on blockchain.

Other benefits of Georgia for mining

  • 0.5 – 0.6 USD cents per kW/h for wholesale mining.
  • 80%+ of electricity is produced from hydro power plants.
  • BitFury has also invested in mining centers in Georgia.

In speaking with the team, they are currently in the process of getting their smart contract deployed. With the funds received from ICO stages, Golden Fleece plans on growing and developing its mining rigs and facility.

Highlights of the Golden Fleece Project development plan

  • Expand mining  to western Georgia where the majority of electricity production in the country is located.
  • $50 million USD investment plan.
  • 5,000 square meters of allocated space for the data center.
  • 20-megawatt consumption of electricity supporting various mining equipment for a number of cryptocurrencies.

For diversification purposes, Golden Fleece is planning to use different types of mining equipment for the numerous cryptocurrencies it will mine. Ethereum and other GPU compatible altcoins will have the largest share in the facility, however, the company said they also plan to install a small amount of ASIC miners.Golden Fleece reports
