The Twin Crises of Digital Progress
The rapid pace of technological advancement creates two significant, interconnected challenges: a growing mountain of electronic waste and a paradoxical waste of clean energy. Our initiative tackles both head-on.
Renewable Energy Curtailed in Japan (FY2023)
Enough to power 450,000 households for a year, this clean energy was simply discarded due to grid limitations.
Of Obsolete ASIC Miners Discarded
Specialized hardware like the Antminer S9 (4.2 kg) becomes unprofitable in 2-3 years, contributing tons of e-waste annually.
Redefining the Lifecycle of a Miner
Instead of the linear path from operation to landfill, we introduce a circular model that unlocks hidden value from hardware and energy that would otherwise be lost.
The Fate of an Obsolete Miner: A New Path
Path 1: Discard
🗑️
Contributes to e-waste, losing all embodied energy and material value.
Path 2: Inefficient Mining
📉
Operates at a loss, consuming energy for diminishing returns.
⭐ Path 3: Repurpose (Our Solution)
♻️
Becomes a source of secure randomness and beneficial heat, powered by green energy.
The Surging Demand for Digital Trust
True randomness is the bedrock of modern digital security. From cryptography to online gaming, the need for verifiable, high-quality entropy is creating a significant and rapidly growing global market.
Global True Random Number Generator (TRNG) Market Growth
The market is projected to more than double in just five years, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 15%.
How It Works: From E-Waste to Entropy
We don't make the ASIC miners random; we use their powerful hashing capability to refine and purify randomness from a true physical source. This "whitening" process ensures a high-quality, secure output.
🎲
1. Raw Entropy Input
A small hardware module generates true randomness from physical noise (e.g., thermal noise).
⚙️
2. ASIC Conditioning
The miner's SHA-256 cores process the raw bits, removing biases and distributing entropy uniformly.
🔑
3. Secure Random Output
The final output is a cryptographically secure, verifiable random stream delivered via a cloud API.
More Than Just Bits: The Power of Waste Heat
A single repurposed miner is not just a digital utility; it's a 1.3 kW heater. By capturing and redirecting this thermal energy, we create a symbiotic relationship with local green initiatives, turning a byproduct into a valuable asset.

Eel Farming
Waste heat maintains optimal tank temperatures (27°C), boosting growth and creating a profitable local industry, as proven in Bibai, Hokkaido.
❄️
Snow Melting
One miner can keep ~4-5 m² of pavement ice-free, improving safety at public facilities and reducing removal costs in snowy regions.
🌿
Aquaponics & Greenhouses
Provides consistent warmth for year-round cultivation of fish and vegetables, enhancing local food security and creating educational opportunities.
Strategic Comparison
When evaluating the alternatives for obsolete miners, our Randomness-as-a-Service model offers a unique combination of high ROI potential, sustainability, and innovation.
Comparing Obsolete Miner Strategies
Roadmap to a Green Digital Utility
Our vision unfolds in three strategic phases, moving from a localized pilot to a nationwide network of green randomness beacons.
Phase 1: Pilot & Demonstration (Year 1)
Deploy ~20 miners in Bibai, Hokkaido. Integrate waste heat with eel farm. Launch educational AR game and prove the end-to-end concept.
Phase 2: Expansion & Commercialization (Years 2-3)
Expand to new sites like Toyotomi. Achieve key certifications (NIST, FIPS). Commercially launch the RaaS platform with tiered pricing.
Phase 3: Nationwide Scale-Up (Years 3-5)
Establish a network of nodes across Japan. Develop a unified cloud platform with global redundancy. Explore secondary HPC/AI hosting opportunities.
