Resignation of COO to Pursue Other Business Interests
Vancouver, British Columbia – BlockMint Technologies Inc. (“BlockMint” or the “Company”) (www.blockmint.ai) advises that its COO, Daniel Beck, announced his resignation to pursue other business interests with immediate effect. The Company’s CEO, Mr. Nelson Ijih, stated “ Dan has been a great partner and co-founder and will be missed by me and the rest of the BlockMint team, but felt with last week’s release of the Company’s flagship cryptocurrency browser (Minter) it was a good jumping off point. Future upgrades and releases of the Company’s crypto browser and other products will not be adversely impacted by Dan’s departure. We wish Dan the best in his new business ventures. ”
About BlockMint Technologies Inc.
BlockMint, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Blockmint (USA) Technologies Inc., develops distributed systems and networks that enable a more decentralized deployment of blockchain based applications such as cryptocurrency mining.
Minter Browser
The Minter browser allows users to use their spare computing power to mine cryptocurrencies and earn carbon credits to offset their carbon footprint. The browser has a user-friendly, built-in dashboard where a user can control the amount (if any) of computing power on his/her computer that will be used for mining to earn carbon credits. Users bear all mining costs associated with the computing power on their device (electricity costs of operating the user’s device) but benefit from receiving carbon credits purchased with the cryptocurrencies mined. BlockMint will earn a margin on the purchase of the carbon credits.
The Minter browser also provides a virtual private network (VPN) and ad-blocker. Online privacy is a growing concern which is why many are turning to VPNs to protect their identities while browsing. Minter makes it easy to browse safely and in total anonymity. It is estimated that 25% of internet users used a VPN last month, which typically costs around US$10 per month.
The upgraded version of Minter has been initially launched for use on desktops and laptops with a Windows operating system. Support for additional operating systems (MacOS, Linux) will be added later this year. This will be followed by versions of Minter for smartphones and tablets.
