			== History ==
			The company marketed contract-based access to mining capacity rather than customer-owned hardware. Contemporary reporting placed mining facilities in Iceland, Canada and Bosnia.<ref name="econ"/> Genesis Mining also partnered with hardware vendors such as [[Spondoolies-Tech]] for cloud offerings in the mid-2010s.<ref name="cd">[http://www.coindesk.com/spondoolies-tech-genesis-team-new-cloud-mining-service/ CoinDesk: Spondoolies-Tech and Genesis team up (historical)]</ref>

			Secondary industry reviews state that Genesis Mining stopped offering new cloud-mining contracts around early 2021 (often cited as February 2021) and that remaining activity, if any, was limited to existing customers.<ref name="tu"/> The corporate site has continued to expose account and customer-service paths. A formal corporate dissolution date is not asserted here.
