Asic Майнери MicroBT Whatsminer

Popular equipment developer Whatsminer (MicroBT)

Well-known Chinese company Whatsminer (MicroBT) develops equipment for blockchain and artificial intelligence. Thanks to its national certification in the field of industrial high technologies, the manufacturer is distinguished by a high level of professionalism, which it has proven for many years. It has been on the market for over 15 years, during which time it has been developing chips and integrated circuits, allowing the company to become a leader in the application of a complete chip design methodology to blockchain computing devices. The first chip, called the 28nm BT1000, appeared in 2016. Three years later, sales of the devices broke records and brought Whatsminer an annual revenue of $280 million. The miner lineup includes a variety of models for mining cryptocurrencies, but the latest developments, M30S+, M30S++, and M31S+, are the most popular for earning bitcoins. They are distinguished by their increased efficiency ahead of the upcoming halving.

History of Whatsminer (MicroBT)
During the presentation of the latest equipment, MicroBT COO Chen Jianbin announced a doubling of revenue in 2019. Devices with a total computing power of 35 million terahashes per second were sold, which is 35% of the Bitcoin network’s hash rate at the end of the year. According to the manufacturer’s representative, the new devices will generate income and remain relevant after the halving. With the advent of modern equipment, the market has entered the “3X era” of mining energy efficiency, which now stands at 40 watts per terahash. In 2019, a miner with a hash rate of 56 Th/s and power consumption of 3360 W appeared. The ASIC is capable of mining cryptocurrency using the SHA-256 algorithm. The main advantages of the M21S model are its efficiency and stable long-term operation, which allows users to mine bitcoins without interruptions. Another advantage of the device is its economical energy consumption due to its low power consumption.

Whatsminer (MicroBT) ASIC model range

The Shenma M20 series from MicroBT was named after a well-known Chinese search engine, which is considered the fastest and second most popular in the country. It includes five Whatsminer modifications:

• • The M20 model has a power of 45 T and an energy efficiency ratio of 48 W/T;
  • The M21 device with a hash rate of 28 T and power consumption of 60 W/T;
  • ASIC M21B has the same characteristics as the M21;
  • Whatsminer M20s with a hash rate of 68 T and power consumption of 48 W/T;
  • Whatsminer M21S is an economical ASIC option that operates at a power of 56 T with a consumption of 60 W/T.

Previously, the first versions of client programs were used to mine cryptocurrencies, which generated bitcoins when a special button was pressed. The CPU (central processing unit) of a computer was sufficient to calculate the hash, and this is where the software was installed. Over time, mining became easier with the help of a GPU (graphics processing unit), which made it possible to solve hash search problems. Processors were included in video cards and were used for data processing. Their efficiency increased several times over, allowing them to bypass CPU technology. With the rapid growth of cryptocurrency prices, users were able to recoup the cost of their devices in a couple of months, or even weeks. Today, devices created using application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are popular. The logic matrix allows you to calculate the hash when mining Bitcoin, which is a highly specialized task.

Advantages of Whatsminer (MicroBT) equipment

Since 2013, ASICs have been used by both amateurs and various corporations. In 2017, MicroBT captured 7% of the total market share, and in 2019, it received 35%. A year ago, the developers attracted $700 million in funding, which allowed them to outperform Bitmain’s ASICs in terms of efficiency. Another device worthy of attention is the SHA-256 hashing algorithm. With this device, you can mine the following cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Peercoin (PPC), eMark (DEM). The new product delivers up to 13 terahashes per second. The advantage of the device is its compact size compared to the larger Antminer S9 ASICs. Another feature is the use of 28-nanometer chips, which in turn affects energy consumption. During prolonged operation, the device can become very hot, but the cooling system maintains productive mining. The company’s new devices have an improved cooling system so that you can mine bitcoins 24 hours a day. The improved aluminum casing reduces the weight of the device and protects it from damage. It also prevents small debris and dust from getting inside the ASIC. The M20S model uses dual-tube technology for heat dissipation, and the distance between the air inlet and outlet has been doubled.

How to choose a Whatsminer (MicroBT) ASIC

When choosing mining equipment, the following parameters should be taken into account:

• • • Power. This is the main characteristic that allows you to find out the average number of operations performed in a certain amount of time. A high hash rate indicates the profitability of the device.
    • Power consumption. Since miners consume a large amount of electricity during operation, this indicator must be taken into account. If tariffs increase, the ASIC’s power consumption will affect your profits.
    • Cost. New devices are always more expensive, but you can purchase previous models from well-known companies and even get high-quality used equipment at an affordable price from us.

Recommendations for operating Whatsminer (MicroBT) ASICs
To extend the service life of Whatsminer devices, you must follow the operating rules. When connecting 6-pin connectors to the hashing board, make sure that the wires are positioned correctly. To start the miner, connect the 3-pin and 6-pin cables to the control board and use an Ethernet cable. Then, simply use the automatic mode. If you need to move the device, lift the equipment by the case together with the power supply unit. The cable between the control board and the hashing board must also not be used as a handle when moving the device to avoid serious damage. When connecting the power supply, do not move the ASIC to avoid damaging the hashing board. This model is ideal for Bitcoin miners as it offers high performance and impressive hash rates, while consuming moderate amounts of energy. Thanks to its small size, you can place the device in any room.
