On November 16, 2022, BITMAIN - the world’s leading manufacturer of cryptocurrency mining servers, invited many industrial customers to visit Merkle Standard's hydro cooling data center in Spokane, Washington, USA. This visit marks the beginning of BITMAIN's "Global Hydro Cooling Data Center Tour" to help customers experience a fully functional large-scale data center that employs the latest hydro cooling technologies.
Spokane had entered winter, and the average outdoor temperature was around zero degrees however, the cold weather did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for visiting the hydro cooling data center and the running state of miners. Spokane had entered winter, and the average outdoor temperature was around zero degrees however, the cold weather did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for visiting the hydro cooling data center and the running state of miners. During the visit, industry experts from BITMAIN introduced hydro cooling miners and one-stop hydro cooling solutions. Industry experts from Merkle Standard also shared the construction and actual operation experience of a hydro cooling data center with the visitors.
BITMAIN's hydro cooling miners and solutions are innovative technologies that lead the mining industry to update and iterate. According to the introduction of industry experts from BITMAIN, hydro cooling miners have the advantages of cost efficiency, steady operations, stable hashrate, no noise, low failure rate, low maintenance cost, and long service life. In addition, hydro cooling operations can reduce energy costs, which aligns with the ESG carbon-neutral concept and BITMAIN's vision of green development in the industry.
Merkle Standard is a long-lasting and sustainable partner of BITMAIN. According to the introduction of Merkle Standard's industry experts, Spokane has a temperate continental climate. It is sunny and dry during summer and cloudy and cold in winter. The temperature in this area usually varies from - 4 ° C to 31 ° C. Since the beginning of 2022, Merkle Standard has deployed thousands of hydro cooling miners and supporting hydro cooling containers here, which have been running continuously up to now. No matter what the climate is, spring, summer, autumn, or winter, the operation of hydro cooling miners in the Spokane data center is very stable, and the hashrate is kept at a high level all year round.
After the on-site visit, the visitors also had a further in-depth exchange on the hydro cooling miners and hydro cooling solutions in the conference hall. Ruslan Zinurov, CEO of Merkle Standard, introduced they have more than 10 years of data center operation experience. The first reason they selected hydro cooling products was due to the extremely low failure rate and ultra-high stability, which enables the data center to harvest more bitcoins. Second, the hydro cooling container can accommodate more miners, saving more space for the data center, and the hashrate per acre can increase by four times. Third, the excellent power efficiency of hydro cooling solutions reduces the total electricity cost per PH. Finally, Ruslan Zinurov highly praised BITMAIN for its contribution to increasing miners' hashrate by 100 times over the last 10 years and endowing S19 XP Hyd. with industry-leading profitability.
Industry experts from BITMAIN introduced that the construction speed and cost of the data center have achieved a qualitative leap from infrastructure mining to movable mining solutions (ANTSPACE series). In the future, data center construction will develop towards higher efficiency, more stable performance, and lower energy costs. It predicted that hydro cooling data centers and hydro cooling miners become the mainstream.
To realize this vision, BITMAIN launched the hydro cooling consignment program for customers. BITMAIN and partners can jointly build a hydro cooling data center, where BITMAIN provides hydro cooling containers and data center construction solutions and hosts hydro cooling miners. Partners provide the site, power and water resources, and data center construction and operation. The two sides would reach a long-lasting partnership, preparing during the bear market and prospering during the bull market.
This activity introduced a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding of hydro cooling products. The "Global Hydro Cooling Data Center Tour" is a global hydro cooling data center activity launched by BITMAIN to popularize and promote hydro cooling technologies. BITMAIN invites industrial customers to visit hydro cooling data centers globally to learn about construction and actual operation. Visitors will be able to share experiences and work together to realize the vision of promoting industry upgrading with hydro cooling technologies and jointly creating a cleaner, more efficient, and greener mining industry.
