Debuting in July 2018, Honeyminer is the leading software for GPU cryptocurrency mining on personal computers. The platform is available on Windows, and as of May, MacOS.

Currently available on some 1,400 different GPU models, Core Scientific plans on using Stax Digital’s IP and blockchain expertise for its management and monitoring solutions Minder and operating system, MinderOS.

MinderOS will also embed mining solutions natively, a statement from the firm said.

Core Scientific CEO Kevin Turner said Honeyminer’s IP and team has huge potential for his firm’s current products.

“Their IP and proven experience in blockchain will enable us to continue enhancing the capabilities of our best-in-class blockchain hosting and application solutions.”

Speaking with CoinDesk, Honeyminer CEO Noah Jessop said the mining service has been downloaded in 167 countries, essentially everywhere they can legally offer it.

2/ why did we sell? Together, we realized we could combine our best-in-class optimization and software platform - with the largest and fastest growing blockchain and GPU hosting company in North America.
