The pool will consist of both Argo’s and DMG’s hashrate, generated mainly by hydroelectric resources.
The company said that Terra Pool represents the first-ever opportunity to create ‘green bitcoin’ with the project looking to move away from conventional power to clean energy and reduce the impact of mining bitcoin on the environment.
“Addressing climate change is a priority for Argo and partnering with DMG to create the first ‘green’ Bitcoin mining pool is an important step towards protecting our planet now and for generations to come,” commented Peter Wall, CEO of Argo.
