Graphene 3D Lab Announces an Invention in Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Mining Space and Files for IP Protection

Calverton, NY -- February 22, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Graphene 3D Lab Inc. (TSX-V:GGG)(OTCQB:GPHBF)(the “Company” or “Graphene”) today announced that it has filed a patent application entitled “Method and System for Recovering and Utilizing Heat Energy Produced by Computer Hardware in Blockchain Mining Operations” with United States Patent and Trademark Office. The invention introduces a revolutionary new technology for recuperating the thermal energy produced in the computation and Blockchain mining operations, utilizing recovered thermal energy in heating and/or refrigeration modules using graphene. The invention addresses an overwhelming need for more efficient energy management in data centers and computational facilities in cryptocurrency mining and other industries. Bitcoin’s recent astronomical rise is driving an extraordinary surge in energy usage by centers dedicated to mining cryptocurrencies. According to Bloomberg Technology, electricity required to mine Bitcoin has risen 43% since October 2017. This not only creates a unique challenge, but also a significant opportunity. Summary of Invention : In the method invented by Company, the thermal energy generated by the computational hardware is harvested and converted into heating and/or refrigeration solutions with modules using graphene. These solutions can be utilized for air conditioning or food preservation, thus effectively reducing electric energy consumption while supporting the Blockchain network or cryptocurrency mining. Alternately, the harvested thermal enegery can also be reused for heating homes, swimming pools or green houses. Usage of high performance materials such as graphene is intended to significantly improve efficiency of operation of such systems. This technology is versatile and is designed to work with various computing equipment used for cryptocurrency mining including CPUs, GPUs and ASICs. Graphene-enhanced materials help to boost performance of such systems giving the Company the competitive edge.   Our Innovative Hardware Solutions for Blockchain-based Crypto Currency mining : We expect our systems will be able to redirect energy generated by data processing, that is routinely wasted, to other commercial and residential uses including business facility heating/cooling, agriculture, food processing. Employment of our systems is not only expected to increase return on investment for data center operations, but also reduce the environmental footprint of data processing.    “We are continuously looking for transformative opportunities for our Company and we strongly believe we found one in the cryptocurrency space.” said Elena Polyakova, CEO of Graphene 3D Labs. “The Company intends to seek potential commercialization partners for this technology.” Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrency Mining : The Blockchain is a groundbreaking concept that employs decentralized and encrypted ledger. This technology offers a secure, efficient, and certifiable pathway of keeping records and all other relevant information without the need for intermediaries. The Blockchain technology is the building block of numerous digital currencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, ZCash and Litecoin. Mining is a process by which new crypto coins are created and transactions performed in the crypto currency space are verified and requires extensive computational work . The Blockchain is a fast-emerging technology that much more than just its association with cryptocurrency. The Blockchain protocols have a wide range of use, including processing transactions, accounting, and verification across a far-reaching spectrum of applications including recording medical transactions, verification of legal contracts as well as improving security of “Internet of Things” . Energy Management in Crypto Currency Mining : Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency mining operations heavily rely on computational power which consumes an enormous amount of electric power. This in turn generates substantial amount of heat. This immense amount of energy, and its cost, is a critical element impacting the profitability of mining facilities. A vast majority of large-scale mining facilities use hardware based on Application-Specific Integrated Circuit Chips (ASICs) and Graphic Processing Units (GPUs). Most commercial ASIC miners use 1-3 kW/h each, and a mining facility can host up to several thousand units. About Graphene 3D Lab, Inc.
