Bitcoin miner MicroBT launched numerous changes in its WhatsMiner series at the Bitcoin 2024 conference held in Nashville, USA, with an emphasis on green mining technologies.
Dr. Zuoxing Yang, CEO and Founder of MicroBT, delivered a speech about the company’s progress toward sustainable mining solutions.
During this address, Dr. Yang uncovered new models of the WhatsMiner series for air, hydro and immersion cooling systems. The flagship models are the air-cooling M60S+, hydro-cooling M63S+ and M64, as well as immersion-cooling M66S+.
Importantly, the maximum hash rate for M60S+ is 210TH/s and has a power efficiency of 17J/T. Hydro-cooled M63S+ exploits up to 450TH/s hash while outlet water temperature can get to 80℃ (176℉) in the case of model M64, thereby setting a new industry standard.
Dr. Yang’s keynote also focused heavily on the future of solar-powered mining. He projected that by 2026, the electricity cost for solar mining could fall as low as around $0.04 per kWh, making it possible to overcome huge barriers to participation in this sphere.
Bitcoin miner MicroBT’s ongoing research into solar mining technology seeks to optimize miner frequency adjustment based on the availability of solar energy, represented by a successful pilotage effort of a 100 kW project. Moreover, it was mentioned that the Whatsminer Solar Mining Container system would soon be launched.
Following his keynote presentation during which he shared best practices Wright Wang Director of Sales & Marketing at MicroBT was part of a panel discussion that included other industry players from Riot Platforms and Peak Mining Company among others who talked about different aspects concerning large-scale mining operations using Immersion and Hydro cooling methods which have seen a massive adoption rate for Whatsminer technology.
Wang stressed that these areas were central to continued innovation by MicroBT in order to create a more sustainable mining ecosystem. Dr. Yang rounded off his speech by promising new products and solutions to be introduced next year spring, which signals that there will be more progress in the mining technology of MicroBT.
Meanwhile, according to Coingape’s report, Samson Mow had several forward-thinking ideas during the conference. Besides this he suggested a unique approach to managing national debt by converting the U.S. national debt into Bitcoin’s smallest unit—satoshis—thus incorporating Bitcoin into traditional financial systems.
He also floated an idea of setting up a Bitcoing mine on the moon arguing that it is possible to expand BTC mining beyond Earth using renewable energy sources. Therefore, such innovative perspectives highlighted the potential for cryptocurrency integration into broader economic and technological contexts going forward.
