Meet the newest shovel salesman: Argo Mining, which just went public in London and raised £25M. Pick your preferred coin, choose a mining contract, and the coins will start flowing into your wallet. Over 50,000 are on Argo's waiting list for their Canadian-based rigs.
Cryptocurrency mining contracts have excited since bitcoin mining took off years ago, but it's not typical to see blockchain companies go public. We'll have to wait and see if Argo Mining can find a loyal group of miners.
