French startup Startmining unveils Horizon, a new mining pool allowing anyone to gain exposure to Bitcoin mining without owning machines. Find out what sets the Horizon pool apart from the rest, and how Startmining is making mining more accessible through tokenization.
Startmining opens a new pool for exposure to Bitcoin mining
French Bitcoin (BTC) mining specialist Startmining has unveiled its latest addition to its range of mining pools, Horizon.
The new pool, which follows the Bitcoin halving of 2024, is designed to withstand the challenges posed by this major event.
As a reminder, Startmining offers any investor the opportunity to position themselves in the Bitcoin mining market. Where Startmining innovates and sets itself apart from the competition is that you don’t need to invest in expensive machines to take advantage of it.
In fact, Startmining tokenizes Bitcoin mining with START, a token representing a portion of a mining pool. Thus, by acquiring START tokens, it is possible to receive a share of the returns from a mining pool in proportion to the number of tokens owned.
If you’re interested in this offer, the newly deployed Horizon mining pool lets you take advantage of it and diversify your investments.
Horizon stands out from other startmining pools thanks to several unique features that make it an attractive option for miners.
First and foremost, it is equipped with the very latest S21 ASICs, renowned for their exceptional efficiency and approximately 30% greater power than previous series such as the S19 XP. This cutting-edge technology guarantees optimum performance, even in the most demanding environments.
Another significant Horizon advantage is its geographical location: Iceland. This strategic choice offers excellent uptime and peace of mind for miners, ensuring continuous, reliable operation.
At launch, Horizon offers an impressive capacity of 4000 TH, powered by S21 ASICs spread over 140 slots. This configuration guarantees extended autonomy, with a minimum duration of 413 days until May 31, 2025, after which the mine will become self-sufficient, with production assuming its production costs.
This model offers a long-term perspective while serenely weathering the Bitcoin halving that has recently taken place.
This new pool marks the 5th addition to Startmining’s pool range since the launch of the START token, and also closes the Resilience season.
It’s worth remembering that START offers exposure to Bitcoin mining without requiring the purchase of specialized equipment, making it accessible to a wide range of investors. Currently, only 71 START tokens are still available for purchase if you wish to gain exposure to Bitcoin mining with Startmining.
The importance of the Horizon Pool Ethos
The new Horizon pool embodies an innovative Ethos called Terra.
This focuses on finding a balance, avoiding both overclocking and downclocking ASICs for a more balanced approach to mining.
With the Horizon pool, miners opt for a more authentic approach to mining, better adapted to all Bitcoin mining cycles.
