Cryptocurrency mining (bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum, dash, litecoin, monero, IOTA, zcash) can be performed with ASIC miners (application specific integrated circuit), CPU, Disk, and GPU (graphics cards). We offer consulting on dedicated mining hardware and software options as well as utilizing existing infrastructure without impacting production.
It can take up to five days to acquire cryptocurrencies legally through an exchange. We offer quicker resolution times and experienced handling of transactions.
You may also be able to offset your operating costs by mining cryptocurrency with your infrastructure’s idle time or invest by acquiring and holding cryptocurrency for potential future gains.
Problem: A small business was impacted by WannaCry virus, which encrypts files and requests a ransom for the password. The business had no backup to recover their files, and they were unable to serve customers. The business tried to buy bitcoin to pay the ransom but would have had to wait up to a week for the transaction to process. They were also unfamiliar with bitcoin wallets and cryptocurrency transactions.
Solution: DoIT was able to successfully complete the transaction in one day. The password to recover the files was provided and the files were restored, allowing the business to resume servicing customers. While paying the ransom is not the ideal scenario, the lost revenue per day was greater than the amount of the ransom. The business has since addressed their backup procedure.
