A video with the CEO Malik and ICO Manager Dias, as they go to the cave. The video is a few minutes long, but you can skip towards the end where you see them get to the cave.

Welcome to Ice Rock Mountain

Malik and Dias have owned their own mining company since 2012 in Kazakhstan, home of the worlds cheapest electricity. For the last 5 years Malik and Dias have grown their mining operations from a few miners in the beginning to over 4,600 ASICs now.

Malik with his current mining business

Malik’s company has profited from extremely cheap electricity and high hashrates, but now we are opening the gates to something bigger. Ice Rock Mountain — an old U.S.S.R Bunker turned crypto mining headquarters.

The reason we are mining underground is simple:

Reduced Electricity cost for cooling — The cave averages 12 degrees

No maintenance on the bunker — its rock.

We currently pay $0.03 per/kWh of power, but we are working with a local power plant to bring hydroelectric power into the bunker, reducing our costs even further.

So, with all these cost-cutting methods in place, what does it mean for those wanting to mine their own cryptocurrency who are not in possession of a Soviet-style bunker?

Why Ice Rock Mining?

Because mining Bitcoin, especially, is hardly profitable for casual miners at home, Ice Rock Mining is trying to offer an alternative method of mining, through cloud mining, but additionally, we hope to make cloud mining profitable as we have managed to increase our margins through cost-cutting measures.

What Ice Rock Mining is accomplishing is seemingly taking the costs of mining, and mitigating them through the use of an ideal underground space. Electricity and cooling costs are extremely low and rent is negated as we own the entire cave system. By allowing the investor to be a part of this, the margins are naturally much larger than competitive cloud mining operations.

Ice Rock Mining is looking to combine a few facets of cryptocurrency in order to enact a business. We see that there is the opportunity to share our mining space with others who also want to profit on their large margins. We are creating an ICO to make this happen.

Ice Rock Mining allows for investors, as well as miners, to take part in their ICO as people can either buy ROCK tokens — in the style of normal cryptocurrencies, holding onto them as they grow in value.

However, we also offer mining packages which will allow individuals who cannot profit in mining take advantage of their set up through cloud mining. Essentially, people will be able to buy a package that suits them where they own space in the mine to mint different coins.

How does IRM (Ice Rock Mining) Compare to other cloud mining?

Our power source

IRM uses 100% green hydroelectric energy

IRM uses natural building materials to house mining rigs

IRM has an equal or even lower carbon footprint as HydroMiner

IRM has no rent or lease to pay

IRM has ultra low cooling costs

IRM has ultra low capital investment costs

IRM has BTC, ETH, LTC and Dash to mine along with future Altcoin selection

IRM has return rates as high as 200% in 6 months

IRM is not top heavy; there are not a lot of people on the payroll

IRM hosts its mining operations inside a military grade cave system that is located next to a hydroelectric reservoir. The cave system is a constant 12 degree Celsius or ~ 53 degree Fahrenheit. The cave is completely electrified, ventilated, wired for Internet access and ready to go with mining rigs in operation.

What this means is that Ice Rock Mining is as “green”, if not more so, as other cloud mining companies. Ice Rock Mining uses renewable hydroelectric power for its main electrical source. So, there is no difference in this regard. What is different, is the nature of the facility. IRM operation is literally inside of the earth. They have retrofitted a military bunker to house the mining operation. This “reuse” of an existing facility requiring very little capital expenditure reduces even further IRM’s carbon footprint and operational costs.

Hydro power, natural building materials and the repurposing of an existing facility screams green louder than any mining facility currently in business. This is a low carbon footprint environment if there ever was one.

Yet, IRM is not paying rent or leasing the property. They already own it. This reduces operational costs even further. Unlike another ICO like HydroMiner, IRM is not forced to spend capital expenditures to construct the mining facility. HydroMiner must purchase steel shipping containers, which are not carbon neutral. Each container has an embedded carbon footprint. They also have to configure each container with water cooling system albeit described at a low cost. However, a water system like this along with the location likely incurs a high insurance premiums for HydroMiner.

IRM does not have these costs. IRM can use money saved from ultra low capital construction, cooling and electrical costs to reward investors with higher returns more quickly. And, IRM can be green at the same time. This gives environmentally conscious miners confidence that their carbon footprint in mining is at the lowest available.

Also, IRM has much lower operational costs than HydroMiner. The cost of living in Kazakhstan is much, much lower than in Austria. The cost for labor and capital improvements are substantially lower as are business taxes and regulations. It is very expensive to run a business in the wealthier states of the European Union.

As of this writing, IRM offers two investment paths. One, is the standard mining contract to mine BTC, ETH, LTC and Dash as well as future Altcoins. The other is a token buyback.

Token buyback is scheduled to begin Feb 1, 2018. IRM makes this possible by using 80% of their profits to pay off these short term investors. Because of the details mentioned above, IRM has big margins so they can pay back their investors in a short period of time.

For any ICO investment in IRM, investors and contract miners will not have any fees or other charges applied to their profits. ICO Investors purchase tokens at $1 per token (Oct 16–29) and $1.2 (Oct 30 — Nov 7).

For investors that choose the buyback option, IRM will begin buy back of tokens on Feb 1 at $2 per token. And, on May 1 raise the buy back to $3 per token.

Conclusion

IRM is the best cloud mining option available. And, as far as a low carbon footprint operation, this is the best. At today’s ICO prices, there is no other cloud mining company that offers 200% returns in 6 months or less. They have the lowest capital and operational costs in all of mining. These savings are passed onto the investor whether buyback investor or contract miner.
