Luxor offers a software solution called Switch that uses a profit conversion algorithm designed to maximize earnings by switching between blockchains and locations to take advantage of the best block rewards. Nick Hansen, CEO and co-founder of Luxor, commented:
“Luxor is well positioned to capitalize on consistent industry trends that see hashrate continuing to move into North America.”
