What is speculation mining?

Speculation mining, or spec mining for short, is the process of mining a coin that you think will increase in value and/or has no established value, yet, as opposed to mining the currently valuable coins.

Spec mining puts the control of mining into your hands, as you get to research the most effective coin to mine, or you can utilize our spec mining analysts to examine the market and mine what we believe will be the next Bitcoin.

Why is spec mining important?

Spec mining is a tool to get involved with a coin at a very early stage and potentially reap the benefits of its long-term success.

How can I spec mine?

- Choose coins that aren't necessarily profitable today, but may hold long-term value.
- Benchmark your miners against every known algorithm, then compare the hash rates to the network difficulty and market cap to determine what coins are the most profitable to spec mine.
- Find newly announced coins on various forums and mine them when the network difficulty is low or non-existent, then hold for when they get listed to an exchange, and then sell.

Why Frontier?

The Frontier Mining origin story goes back to 2004 when one of the founders of Frontier, Brent Whitfield, started co-locating servers for clients in downtown Los Angeles and Las Vegas. With 14 years of experience with co-location and private cloud hosting, we know a thing or two about powering, cooling and securing servers, and other mission critical IT infrastructure.

We make our clients successful by designing and deploying miners and supporting IT equipment that is anti-fragile and robust enough to perform for years. Frontier uses data centers in Los Angeles and Nevada to host our mining rigs, and we will be expanding soon in order to help our clients achieve the lowest cost per kWh in the country.
