Last week, from August 22-23, the HashCon 2020 & New Infrastructure Mining Summit was held jointly by inbtc, the Bitcoin mining machine maintenance service provider founded by leading mining pool Poolin co-founder Zhu Fa; 8BTC, China’s oldest and most influential crypto and blockchain media; and ChainNode, China’s largest and foremost Bitcoin forum, as well as supported by Chengdu’s government.
Twenty five speeches and six forums, over 70 speakers and 40 exhibitors gathered in Sichuan to share new information and explore the future potential of the crypto mining industry, covering mining rig producers, mining farm managers, miners, and entrepreneurs.

The event welcomed more than 5,000 participants, refreshing the historical record of the crypto mining themed conference.
On the first day of the summit, two leaders from the Chengdu government made opening speeches and introduced the investment environment. In addition, Chenghua District and 8btc signed a strategic cooperation agreement, and the first blockchain industrial park with the characteristics of blockchain computing power was settled in Chengdu. Eight blockchain enterprises, including inbtc and Valarhash, signed contracts and settled down.

“There are limitations in the mining space. The industry needs to achieve a breakthrough from ‘mining space’ to ‘mining industry’, and construct the infrastructure supporting digital economy. In order to support the growth of digital wealth in the future, the computing power industry system will be formed by expanding the computing power related to Bitcoin mining to the whole field of digital economy.”
