Cryptocurrency company D Coin is helping to build Australia's first solar-powered data centre. D Coin and data centre operator DC Two have signed an agreement with Hadouken Pty Pty to build the facility in Collie, Western Australian, some 200 km south of Perth. The DC Two centre, which is on the same site as Hadouken Pty's solar farm, will have specific hosting zones for cryptocurrency mining, as well as high redundancy zones for traditional IT workloads. A crypto-mining set-up that uses 4 MW could mine 650 bitcoins a year, currently worth about AUD6m ($4.4m).
