Liquid-cooled mining machines from Chinese chipmaker Bitmain have been unveiled.

The S19 XP HYD is expected to be one of the company’s most energy-efficient models ever.

The new mining setup employs liquid cooling. According to reviewers, it is the most power-efficient among all models of mining equipment from this manufacturer.

These hydro cooling rigs are exclusively for usage in Bitmain containers.

Bitmain Rig Packs A Punch

The newly announced mining rig is dubbed “Antminer S19 XP Hyd.” It boasts 255 terahashes per second (TH/s) of processing power and 20.8 joules per terahash (J/T) of power efficiency while operating on 5,304 watts, according to Bitmain’s website.

The machine features a liquid cooling system, which involves using a coolant flowing through pipes to dissipate heat from the device.

The cooling rigs will launch in the first quarter of 2023 for a little under $20,000 per unit.

Furthermore, the energy efficiency of this new model slightly outperforms Bitmain’s previous best rig – the Antminer S19 XP.

Notably, Bitmain has also announced the release of the ANTSPACE HK3, a new bitcoin mining container that can comfortably accommodate 210 mining machines and uses up to 1 megawatt of electricity.

Aiming For Sustainable Bitcoin Mining

Bitmain has been focusing on long-term bitcoin mining and has recently unveiled measures in this area.

Bitmain will create up to 500 MW of clean digital mining infrastructure at Merkle Standard’s hydro-powered facilities in Eastern Washington as part of the joint venture.

Furthermore, the Beijing-based chipmaker has gained a significant stake in one of America’s major crypto-mining facilities via a collaboration with Allrise Capital.

The move might help Bitmain’s market expansion in the United States even further.

According to mining data, the bitcoin mining metrics have seen some intriguing developments in recent months, as the Bitcoin hashrate grew by more than 15% in a week as processing power steadily increased.

Energy Efficient Mining

Meanwhile, Block Inc.’s CEO, Jack Dorsey, revealed last October that the firm was exploring developing an open-source bitcoin mining system built on bespoke silicon to decrease entry barriers for both businesses and people.

In January, Thomas Templeton, Block’s general manager for hardware, emphasized that the planned approach would improve bitcoin mining efficiency and other benefits.

Templeton said:

“We’re interested because mining is about more than just producing new bitcoin. We regard it as a long-term need for a decentralized and permissionless future.”

In a related event, Hive Blockchain had signed an arrangement with Intel to acquire the latter’s recently introduced energy-efficient blockchain accelerators named Bonanza Mine.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
