Mecobit Mining Rigs Announces the Biggest Hash-Rate in the Market

LONDON, Sept. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MECO Limited (Mecobit), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of solar modules and complete solutions, recently launched new products Solar Unit M4000, Solar Panel Kit (complete), Portable Power Station, M100 Miner, M200 Miner, Meco Rack, which has attracted wide attention in the industry. The result of five years of research, development and testing, this new technology platform enables the production of frameless, thin, lightweight and adaptable solar panels with the performance of comparable standard solar panels.

“We are very excited to bring revolutionary innovation to the field of solar energy,” said Ben Lukas (Chief Marketing Officer). “In addition to the new development work and modules from design and material, this new technology platform has fundamentally helped us with the unique solar-electric technology. Mecobit The Solar System has a unique ability to pass through the shadow, continuing to produce energy in conditions that will shut down other panels.”

Compared to previous innovations, charging speed, battery life, security guarantees and user experience have improved. Mecobit M4000 Solar Unit and Solar Panel Kit is compatible with many devices, tools, equipment, home and electronic industries such as cryptocurrency miners, providing security, long backup and other areas of power. Mecobit Solar Systems Long Life Battery: M4000 Solar Unit, Solar Panel Kit (complete), Portable Power Station passes standard tests such as short circuit, overload, extrusion, acupuncture, etc.

And as governments agree to reduce levels of carbon emissions and introduce additional incentives like investment tax credits, it’s possible that the share of mining operations using solar power will increase even more. Solar power may be considered green and renewable, but there are also significant problems with solar, including the limits of sunlight hours.

Shipping costs

As a consequence of this, Mecobit will pay for both shipping and import tariffs, enabling customers to acquire everything they require to get started with no further costs beyond the cost of the device itself.

About Mecobit

Established in 2015 with the goal of developing and marketing the world’s solar powered cryptocurrency miners, which can use either Ethash, SHA-256 or Scrypt technology depending on the miner’s preference. The company asserts that it was the very first solar powered cryptocurrency mining enterprise in the world. “We wanted to revolutionize the industry with the solar panels by providing more power at a more affordable price than was previously thought to be possible,” B. Franci (Founder).

Mecobit is headquartered in Chiswick High Road, London, England, and has offices in several other cities across the world, including the United States. The company’s website, www.mecobit.com, provides additional information on the company and its products.

GQEBERHA – Immediate activation of information led to the arrest of a suspect (23) on charges of possession of ammunition and suspected stolen property, shortly after a hijacking was reported on Monday, 12 September 2022 at Kwadwesi.

It is alleged that on abovementioned date at approximately 11:40, members attached to the Nelson Mandela Bay District Crime Combatting Unit received information of a vehicle, an Opel Kadett, that was hijacked in Uitenhage Road, Kwadwesi extension. The members immediately acted on the information they received and on arrival at a residence in Mqowa Street, Ikamvelihle, they found the suspect jumping over the fence.

President to visit disaster struck Jagersfontein

President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to visit the Jagersfontein area today where flooding from a disused mine has caused the evacuation of hundreds of people from their homes and the death of at least one person.

On Sunday evening, the Free State government confirmed the single death and added that at least 40 people have also been hospitalised with two others missing.

“The President’s thoughts and prayers are with the families of three people who lost their lives in the incident which allegedly involved a pipe burst from a mine at Jagersfontein around dawn [on Sunday].

“The President wishes injured survivors a speedy recovery and a positive outcome in the search for missing residents of the Charlesville neighbourhood. The President appreciates the rescue and recovery efforts in which emergency services and police from towns surrounding the mine and from Mangaung are engaged,” the Presidency said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Eskom says it has experienced a total loss of supply to Centlec – the electricity distributor to the town – due to the mudslide.

Three more users on another feed have also been affected and the Jagersfontein mine are also without power.

“Due to the current situation in the Jagersfontein area and inaccessibility of our substation, it is impossible to estimate when supply will be restored or to determine the extent of the damage. Since Eskom’s telecommunication system is also affected by the flood, the impact on surrounding networks is unclear. Any meaningful updates will be promptly communicated.

“Electricity users are urged to treat all electrical lines sockets and appliances as live and dangerous. We wish to express our sincere condolences to those affected by this catastrophic event and commend emergency services for their swift response,” Eskom said.
