Seeding: Finding and Helping New Bitcoin MinersThere are a number of Africans across the continent who are interested in both small- and large-scale bitcoin mining. Many of them lack the knowledge of the suppliers necessary to get started, understanding of the laws in their own country, and possible sources of energy to put their mining operations to work on. GAMA seeks to solve this by creating a central point for people to come, join, and find out about what it takes to become active in this industry.
The Seed Program Working with the GAMA members and associated larger global miners, a way for someone interested in Bitcoin mining to get started. There will be an application form and a vetting process, and upon completion of this the new miner will get access to 5 used, but tested and reliable, ASICs to begin mining. They will still have to pay for these miners, but at a heavy discount, and will also have to pay for shipping and clearing to their own location. Upon proof of hashrate for a minimum of 3 months, they will be given access to up to 10 more ASICs at the same discounted rate.
