“Cointerra Inc., the Austin-based tech startup that makes powerful computers designed to ‘mine’ bitcoins, has sold its 1,000th TerraMiner since launching the product a month ago. The TerraMiners IV unit that Cointerra produces will set you back about $5,500 in old-fashioned U.S. currency. Austin has been making waves in the world of digital currency of late. The Austin Bitcoin community will host the Texas Bitcoin Conference on March 5-6 at the Circuit of The Americas, and the city is also the site of one of the first Bitcoin ATMs in the U.S. CoinTerra, which launched in August, raised $1.3 million from investors in October.”
