At the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, MicroBT unveiled its latest WhatsMiner models, focusing on sustainable mining technology.
CEO Dr. Zuoxing Yang showcased the new air, hydro, and immersion cooling systems. The standout models include the air-cooled M60S+, hydro-cooled M63S+ and M64, and the immersion-cooled M66S+.
The M60S+ delivers a hash rate of 210TH/s with 17J/T power efficiency. The hydro-cooled M63S+ achieves up to 450TH/s, with the M64 handling water temperatures up to 80℃. These models set new industry standards.
Dr. Yang also emphasized the potential of solar-powered mining, predicting that by 2026, the cost could drop to $0.04 per kWh, making it more viable. MicroBT’s research includes a 100 kW pilot project, and they plan to launch the WhatsMiner Solar Mining Container system.
In a panel discussion, Wright Wang, MicroBT’s Sales & Marketing Director, highlighted the growing adoption of immersion and hydro cooling methods, reaffirming MicroBT’s dedication to sustainable mining innovation. Dr. Yang hinted at more product releases next year.
Additionally, Samson Mow presented innovative ideas at the conference, such as converting U.S. national debt into Bitcoin’s smallest unit, satoshis, and even suggested the possibility of Bitcoin mining on the moon using renewable energy, indicating a forward-thinking approach to cryptocurrency’s integration into larger economic systems.
