Interview with Founder and CEO of Grow Mine Operation Anthony Sinisgalli
After being involved in Crypto investing and crypto trading for the past twelve months I have seen many projects come and go in that very short time frame. In what is somewhat reminiscent of the early dot com era in the early 2000’s I am reminding of the varying “once in a lifetime opportunities’’ that have come into the consciousness of us, the retail investor who have been courageous enough to get involved in a multitude of Binance Smart Chain (BSC) projects under the guise of making it big with cryptocurrency investing.
The challenges that we experience learning how to transfer real fiat money into BNB through the exchange of your choice (don’t even get me started talking about what KYC means) and then after watching various youtube videos teaching you how to exchange that BNB to BSC, many of us finally worked out how to navigate Metamask or Trust wallet to only get involved in a rug pull or a honey pot! The sad story for many retail investors is that crypto investing in many of these projects is the wild west of investing and oftentimes the money just evaporates into scams and ponzi schemes.
So after all that drama over the past year, it is rare to discover a project where the people involved are willing to come out from behind the vale of anonymity. I had the privilege over the past week to get to know both the Founder/CEO and also the COO of a project called Grow Mine Operation (GMO) through various video conference calls and extended online conversations and am pleased to share with the readers the first part of a deep dive into this up and coming project.
Please note that this article is not intended to be financial advice or to suggest that you should invest your own money in this project, it is simply information at face value and like any investment the reader is strongly advised to do your own research (DYOR) into any opportunity.
For full disclosure I have personally invested a small amount of my own money in the seed sale and was recently made a moderator in their Telegram group due to my willingness to help share the vision, however, I act as a volunteer in this capacity.
Without further pause, please find below the first part of a variety of questions I posed to the CEO, Mr Anthony Sinisgalli, Tacoma, Washington.
Anthony, can you please tell me a bit about your background and how you got into Crypto Mining?
I have been in sales and retail management since I was about 18 from my start with RadioShack and have been in management ever since. When I moved to WA state I got into medical cannabis growing naturally I turned it into a successful side hustle . My dive into mining was by luck, I had bought some crypto, started reading and decided to buy mining equipment and here we are today.
Thanks, how long have you been running your own mining rig and can you explain a bit more about what you have actually mined and how you went about setting up your first rig?
I have been running rigs for almost 2 years. I started with a laptop and mining on Nice hash then evolved to building GPU rigs. I now mine multiple assets including Eth , BTC, RVN, Firo, Doge, Ethclassic, cortex, avian or Rvn coin lite. It was quite a learning experience setting up the first rig and building my first GPU.
How do you think your previous experience in the Medical Cannabis industry will help you make GMO a successful mining operation?
I understand the electric calculations needed for mining as they are very similar to the electrical calculations for cannabis, cannabis requires a large amount of cooling to get the ideal balance in a grow room. Growing cannabis has always made me have to adapt to new methods and equipment. Also the unknown cannabis is largely a big grey here in the USA and being already involved in a pioneering industry gives me the confidence to do the same with GMO.
What are your goals over the next 3 months for the project, assuming that the seed funding phase meets your expectations?
My goal would be to have our seed sale finished. Potentially our white list (WL) and presale leading to the launch of our rewards token. We will definitely be building a prototype GPU miner. As well as ordering ASIC equipment. I would hope to have the audits done on our staking platform and token contract, potentially launch but again this is all based on equipment being available.
I appreciate that you have shown me some videos of the building that GMO has leased and I am sure the readers are keen to see some photo updates, however, in the interim, do you have anything to share with respect to the building itself and the progress you would like to make in the short term?
Plans for the building are some structural improvements, making the location more secure, an eventual buildout with some construction happening this will be ongoing as the electric and data centre fibre line have to be pulled to the location we will be using both temp power and internet lines initially.
We will be bringing in lots of racks and installing infrastructure. Really building the same framework for that mine that we built for the project all things calculated, building a site map getting schedules ironed out then building the equipment onsite.
Thank you for your time Anthony and I look forward to checking in over the coming weeks and interviewing some other members of the team as we continue the deep dive into GMO. Further information about GMO can be found below:
