WHY CHOOSE OUR BITCOIN MINING FARMS
YOU NO LONGER DEPEND ON THE COST OF ANY ONE ENERGY SOURCE
EZ Smartboxes™ are fully mobile data centers. They’re easy to transport, and each Smartbox™ is built meeting all ISO standards. Because it meets all international public road transportation codes, you can haul your Bitcoin mining farm on a flatbed just like a shipping container.
Carry it to any source of affordable electricity anywhere in the world.
YOUR INVESTMENT IS COST EFFECTIVE AND CARRIES LESS RISK
Investing in a warehouse type crypto mining farm connected to the grid is twice as expensive and several times riskier than investing in a mobile mining unit. Otherwise, your local power provider may increase the rate of electricity or ban crypto mining in your area, leaving all your infrastructure investment deadlocked.
mining operations with additional options
When you buy a mobile data center, you are partnering with EZ Blockchain. We help you develop a full crypto mining farm from scratch and can add management of your crypto mining farm for a small monthly fee.
You’ll sleep well knowing our team provides 24/7 miner hosting and management of your mining equipment.
COMFORTABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Contrary to industry standards, we give very flexible terms of payment. Manufacturing starts after a down payment, and you pay for the rest based on the progress of production time.
RAPID DEPLOYMENT AND
INSTALLATION
Smartbox™ Container Delivery
EZ Smartbox™ mobile data center comes in 2 sizes: 20-ft. container size unit and 40-ft. container size unit.
Both Smartbox™ units can be easily transported on a flatbed trailer with a truck able to pull 20,000 pounds (for Smartbox™ 3000).
Smartbox™ container Site Preparation
The Smartbox™ has to be installed on any level, flat surface without debris. Temporary concrete pads may be put under the Smartbox™ for added support on softer ground. The Smartbox™ can also be fully operational on a trailer.
Smartbox™ for more stable support in soft ground areas. Smartbox™ can also be fully operational on a trailer.
Smartbox™ offloading / installation
Every Smartbox™ is equipped with four hook points to attach a crane so that the Smartbox™ can be loaded and unloaded easily, just like a shipping container.
The Smartbox™ is loaded and then offloaded with any crane able to lift 10 tons (for Smartbox™ 3000).
Smartbox™ container connection
Smartbox™ honors specific permits and permissions anywhere it’s shipped. A licensed electrician has to connect the Smartbox™ to the transformer or to the generator using provided cables.
EZ Smartbox™ has its connection frame easily accessible from outside the electrical room. Each Smartbox™ section has 2 x 400 amp breakers. Smartbox™ 3000 has 6.
Materials
EZ Smartbox™ is a durable, structured steel frame, which is finished with high quality sandwich panels.
There are metal powder coated shelves inside.
IT infrastructure
We give our clients the option to pick their own internet infrastructure depending on their technical requirements.
Ethernet cables are connected to each rack for EZ installation process
Electrical components
EZ Smartbox™ Inside electrical infrastructure is protected by high quality circuit breakers. There are at least three layers of surge and heat protections for the equipment inside.
EZ Smartbox™ copper wiring is designed for continuous operation with minimum power losses. Hyundai, ABB & Schneider Electric are the top choices for electrical circuit breakers in a standard Smartbox™.
EZ Blockchain provides a full setup and a start-up guide and will send a tech
support person to help to coordinate the installation of the Smartbox™. Travel
expenses up to
$1000 will be covered by the company.
Limited manufacturer's warranty is provided for each electrical component of
the unit. We keep stock of spare parts to be able to send the replacement.
Affordability
Low depreciation
The full scrap value after 10 years of value is still 50% of the whole
infrastructure because of the high price of high quality electrical components.
FAST TURNAROUND
Lead time for new orders is 4-12 weeks.

facility: nd location Objective
The goal of the project was to lower the carbon footprint of the oil producer by using their excess gas to run generators that in turn power our Smartboxes™.
Since oil producers have no way to use or monetize gas that is produced during the extraction process, they flare it. Due to the carbon footprint that is used in the flaring process, producers are often capped at how much oil they can pump in a day.
So when we power our generators via their flare, it greatly reduces the environmental impact caused by drilling operations.
Solution
Our solution for this project was to use multiple generators to generate 2.5 MW, which we needed to power our data center.
This allowed the energy producer to lower their carbon footprint drastically and thereby almost eliminate their emissions.
TESTIMONIALS
Greenidge Generation LLC
Supply of mobile data centers
EZ Blockchain is a great partner to work with. After purchasing our first Smartbox™ 2500, the company provided excellent product support at deployment and during the operation. Their team has experience in crypto mining on the grid, off grid and behind the meter, and as a result the Bitcoin mining mobile data centers are built meeting any crypto miner’s expectations.
Smartbox™ itself is a high-end product, which has both operational flexibility and high electrical capacity. Separating the electrical room from rack space is a great operational move, which our engineers and operational technicians appreciated a lot.

Digihost
Thanks the entire team at EZ Blockchain for your exceptional service and high-quality products
I am extremely impressed with the high-quality bitcoin mining data center containers that EZ Blockchain has provided for our company, Digihost. We have purchased several containers from Sales Leader Pete V and have been consistently impressed with the level of service and expertise he has provided. The containers are well-designed and efficiently utilize space, allowing us to maximize our mining capabilities. The added security features and ability to easily expand our operations make these containers a valuable investment for our business. Pete has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction and we look forward to continuing our partnership with EZ Blockchain. We are already planning to purchase more containers in the near future and highly recommend EZ Blockchain to any company looking to expand their mining operations.

Bitcoin Miners Surface for Air as Sliding Natural Gas Price Provides Cost Relief
“The past year shows that miners are better off fixing the long cost of power, as opposed to flocking to areas where energy prices are cheap, but variable,” said Sergii Gerasymovych, founder and CEO of mining firm EZ Blockchain.

America’s Bitcoin Miners See Georgia as the New U.S. Hot Spot
Regulations that vary by state sometimes spark miners to move their operations. Sergii Gerasymovych was excited when his crypto company sold a big mining rig to an oil and gas operator with plans to mine Bitcoin in New Mexico. But when the company started to install the mobile rig, which burns natural gas that would otherwise be flared to power about 700 miners, they learned that New Mexico strictly regulated generators like the one in the mining rig.

FREQUENTLYASKEDQUESTIONS
How much time does it take to install a container near the energy source?
How much time does it take to install a container near the energy source?
Ideally, you can install it and start mining within 24 hours.
In a nutshell, why are your containers better than your competition’s?
In a nutshell, why are your containers better than your competition’s?
Because we’ve been producing them for four years and have mastered the quality. Just like most new productions, we had certain issues at the beginning and fixed them later. However, our first air-cooling crypto mining containers that we designed in 2019 are still working great.
Regular Container vs. Custom Frame
Regular Container vs. Custom Frame
Typically, all Bitcoin mining trailers are built using 20ft or 40ft shipping containers for easy transportation and installation. However, EZ Blockchain also offers custom crypto-mining containers. If a miner has specific ideas about their mining rig, a custom frame container may be a better option.
Do you help with installation?
Do you help with installation?
Yes. We have specifically trained engineers who implemented tier 3 and tier 4 protocols of work — which is super rare to find — which can allow you to have double security for your mining containers.
