EXHIBIT B

Formula A

This Formula A provides for the amount of Bitcoin payable by Provider to User monthly, defined as Bitcoin Production (BP) minus the Electricity Costs (EC) of 360 Bitmain Antminer S9 units, each running at a consistent 12.5 Th/s, adjusted for changes in the Difficulty Rate (DR). Electricity Cost is calculated at 6.3 cents per kWh, with each S9 consuming 1500W. The computation follows:

4,500/DR = BP

EC = [1500/1000 x 24 hours x 30 days x $0.063 x 360 units = $24,494] / [equal-weighted daily average price per Bitcoin for the calculation period (Price)]

EC = $24,494/Price

Formula A = [4,500/DR] minus [$24,494/Price]

NOTE:

DR = amount of hash power in Th/s required by the network to mine one Bitcoin per month. This number is 1,350 Th/s on the Effective Date and will change approximately every 13 days.

Formula B

This Formula B provides for the amount of Bitcoin payable by Provider to User monthly, defined as Bitcoin Production (BP) minus the Electricity Costs (EC) of 40 Bitmain Antminer S17 units, each running at a consistent 53 Th/s, adjusted for changes in the Difficulty Rate (DR). Electricity cost is calculated at 4.2 cents per kWh, with each S17 consuming 2600W. The computation follows:

2,120/DR = BP

EC = [2600/1000 x 24 hours x 30 days x $0.042 x 40 units = $3,155] / [equal-weighted daily average price per Bitcoin for the calculation period (Price)]

EC = $3,931/Price

Formula B = [2,120/DR] minus [$3,155/Price]

NOTE:

DR = amount of hash power in Th/s required by the network to mine one Bitcoin per month. This number is 1,350 Th/s on the Effective Date and will change approximately every 13 days.
