When Dynamics announced that it had discontinued a hosting deal with Compass and charged the business with missing and late payments in June, the dispute between the two companies intensified. The decision comes as mining conditions are becoming more challenging for miners as a result of high costs, low bitcoin values, and rising mining difficulty.
Compass launched a complaint because Dynamics was hostage-taking its equipment and claimed that the accusations were false. Additionally, it said that while it had contributed roughly $1.7 million to the development and maintenance of three buildings, the hosting business had failed to meet some of its duties. A court ruling in July gave Compass permission to access the devices.
The payments outlined in the request for default judgment cover overcharged sums that were not repaid, as well as deposits and capital costs that Compass paid for the construction of several sites. Additionally, the judge mandated the hosting business to cover the expenses of the collection as well as post-judgment contempt.
Thomas Heller, co-CEO and co-founder of Compass Mining, stated in a statement that Dynamics Mining infringed the privileges of both Compass Mining and the clients, and the company is happy that the U.S. judicial system has reached a just conclusion. In locations all around the United States and Canada, Compass Mining hosts mining equipment from specific individuals. About 1% of the contractual capacity for Compass Mining was managed by the hosting business.
