MicroBT, one of the leading Bitcoin Asic miner manufacturers released its three new models of WhatsMiner M50 series and solar power mining solution at the Bitcoin2023 event, in Miami, the US on May 18th.
Zuoxing Yang(Dr. Yang) the founder and CEO of MicroBT delivered a speech at Bitcoin2023 event. “What matters more, mining or surviving?” Faced with the energy crisis and global warming, Dr. Yang believes that the power source for bitcoin mining needs to be upgraded by finding better solutions like green energy. Compared with the advantages and disadvantages of hydro, wind and nuclear power, he brought out the thought of the WhatsMiner solar power mining solution for the first time. In Dr. Yang’s opinion, solar power is not only a better power source but also is as decentralized as Bitcoin. Though there might still be limitations, he stated that MicroBT is working on adjusting the voltage and frequency of WhatsMiner to make its power adapt to the change of solar power. When it comes to night times, battery can be used as a power solution benefiting from its decreasing cost. The power of the battery is now a quarter of the peak power of the solar power and it will gradually increase in the future.
Besides, MicroBT released three new models of WhatsMiner M50 series which are WhatsMiner air-cooling M50S++, hydro-cooling M53S++ and immersion cooling M56S++. The new WhatsMiner air-cooling M50S++ boosts to 150 terahash/second (TH/s) of computing power at 22 joules per terahash (J/TH) of power efficiency; the new WhatsMiner hydro-cooling M53S++ boosts to 320 terahash/second (TH/s) of computing power at 22 joules per terahash (J/TH) of power efficiency; and the new WhatsMiner immersion-cooling M56S++ boosts to 230 terahash/second (TH/s) of computing power at 22 joules per terahash (J/TH) of power efficiency.
