UnitedCorp Announces Major Expansion of
its BlockchainDomes
Under a Four-Year - CD$
21 Million Agreement
With A Canadian
Technology Company
A total of
4,000 mining rigs to be
in operation progressively
over the next 120 days
MIAMI,
FL. -- June 25, 2018 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- Miami-based
United American
Corp ("UnitedCorp")(OTC:
UAMA) announced today that its
wholly owned
subsidiary Blockchain Data Centers Inc. ("BDC") has entered into
an
expansion of
its existing Hosting Service Agreement
with a Vancouver-based
technology
company.
Under the agreement
BDC will increase
hosting of the company's mining rigs from
1,000
to a total
of 4,000. BDC has already commenced
construction to
increase its BlockchainDome Heat Station
capacity
and the first
additional mining rigs are expected to be online in
August. The company has already provided
BDC with all initial financial advances as per the agreement
and will
provide further scheduled advances
based on
implementation
milestones
over the next 2
months.
"We are very pleased with the
now
proven
performance and
efficiency of our first BlockchainDome and we appreciate the
confidence our customer
has
placed
in us by
quadrupling its original hosting
agreement," stated UnitedCorp
President Benoit Laliberte.
"This
new
agreement will
allow BDC to increase its heat station capacity to supply heat
to additional
adjacent
greenhouses and continue to build
up UnitedCorp's
tangible asset
value."
In addition to
its wholesale
hosting business, BDC will continue to develop plans for its retail
operation which will provide clients with
miners and
space in
its BlockchainDomes as well as
turnkey-managed mining services
to
individuals.
Retail operations are expected to launch later this
year.
UnitedCorp's
BlockchainDome
Passive Cooling Ground-Coupled Heat-Exchanger technology uses
Canadian well and chimney effect principals, combined with a
technique which utilizes
Negative Air
Pressure
Mining Rig docking station adaptors, another proprietary
technology. This process takes surface
air and cools it naturally without electricity via a
passive
subterranean heat
exchange system. The cool air is then heated as it cools
cryptocurrency mining rigs and this heat is used to support large
scale greenhouse agricultural operations through the BlockchainDome
heat generation system which can keep greenhouses
in excess of 25oC year round.

The
BlockchainDome Technology
The UnitedCorp BlockchainDome
was designed for large scale ASIC
(application-specific integrated circuit chip) mining operations
where efficiency and low cost operations are a priority. The
BlockchainDomes are particularly suited for situations where rapid
cluster deployment is required as they can be erected and
commissioned in a matter of weeks rather than up to a year using
the traditional "Bricks and Mortar" approach. BlockchainDomes
can be configured
in a wide
range of sizes.
The combination of low cost of
operation, rapid deployment and low capital cost result in
BlockchainDomes providing one of the lowest overall Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) in the mining industry and the most efficient
cooling solution for high density power mining
operations.
The BlockchainDomes utilize a
proprietary passive cooling ground-coupled heat-exchanger
technology which provides a highly efficient cooling
solution for high-density mining operations which contain some of
the hottest running computers in the world.
The BlockchainDomes utilize
some 3,200 feet of subterranean 24 inch diameter conduits which
extend away from the dome on each side for a total of 9,200 cubic
feet of air intake for each of the
1,000
mining rig
docking
stations. Surface air is drawn into
the conduits and through air filters as a result of the negative
pressure
created within rig enclosures. The conduits are designed
with a corrugated external surface to provide enhanced surface for
thermal transfer with the ground, and a smooth internal surface for
better laminar air flow and reduced air turbulence.
Warm surface air passing
through the conduits is cooled naturally over the length of the
pipe run as a result of solid-to-air and air-to-air heat exchange.
The air then flows to the underside of the mining rigs which are
encased in sealed air-tight docking
station
adaptors. The negative dome pressure
is created through a combination of the heat rising from the mining
rigs (the "chimney effect"), the mining rig
fans
which draw cool
air from the Canadian well and from 20 hot air transfer ducts located at the apex of the
dome which
draw heat from the BlockchainDome for transfer to
adjacent
greenhouses.
BlockchainDomes are designed
specifically to keep the heat generating processors at an optimal
temperature through passive cooling. This includes an emphasis on
laminar flow to reduce turbulence and an air path which reduces
resistance. One of the shortcomings of most active cooling systems
is that they use horizontal air flows which are less effective at
cooling due to the inefficient flow of air. However
BlockchainDomes' mining equipment
is
mounted
onto negative air pressure
docking
station adaptors with vertical air flow
intakes
which bring cool ground air from the
Canadian
well. Therefore air always moves in
a natural direction. Since each mining rig draws some 200 CFM (cubic feet per
minute) of cool air, each dome requires an air exchange of 200,000
CFM per
1,000 mining
rigs docking
stations. As a result, there is
no need for air
conditioning or electro-mechanical
cooling fans.
The productivity and efficiency
of the BlockchainDomes has a significant competitive
advantage over traditional 'Bricks and
Mortar'
installations that rely on active cooling systems and
the company is
targeting a 23-30% reduction in total cost of
ownership.
This is not only due to the reduced
cost of electricity but also takes into account amortization of
capital costs when compared to other
approaches.
