  • Patent number: 11659682
    Abstract: Portable blockchain mining systems and methods of use are discussed here. Systems include a portable building; a plurality of blockchain mining processors mounted within, or a plurality of blockchain mining processor mounts located within, an interior of the portable building; an air inlet defined in the portable building; and an air outlet defined in the portable building. Air outlets may be above the air inlet and oriented to direct exhaust air in an upward direction out of the portable building. A cooling fan may be connected to convey air through the air inlet, across the plurality of blockchain mining processors and out the air outlet. The cooling fan may simultaneously cool a genset and processors 72. Compact, stackable mining modules are discussed.

  • Patent number: 11574372
    Abstract: Methods and systems of operating a blockchain mining device using natural gas produced at a hydrocarbon production, storage, or processing site/facility. A generator may be retrofitted to an existing prime mover used to pump the well, and the generator may be used to power the blockchain mining device. Portable mining devices may be hooked up to a casinghead gas supply at a remote, isolated oil facility. Power loading levels may be modulated by adjusting mining transaction levels to correspond with combustible gas production levels.
