The facility was announced alongside the Rockdale Municipal Development District and DMG can expand to a capacity of more than 300MW.

21 October, 2019, TEXAS – Bitmain, the industry-leading fabless manufacturer of computing chips, has launched its 50MW mining farm in Rockdale, Texas, as announced today alongside the Rockdale Municipal Development District (MDD) and DMG. 

“We are excited to launch this facility, which is significant to Bitmain’s global expansion plans. The stable and efficient energy resources in Texas are fundamental to the inevitable scale of growth for the cryptocurrency mining industry,” said Clinton Brown, Rockdale Lead Project Manager for Bitmain.

Construction of the initial 25MW of the mining farm, on a 33,000 acre site owned by Aluminum Company of America, Alcoa, began in 2018 as part of the company’s ongoing plans to build the world’s largest cryptocurrency mine. 

Bitmain will continue to construct the 50MW facility, which can expand to a capacity of more than 300MW, making it the largest bitcoin mining facility in the world.

“Bitmain will be the future for developing new industry projects in Rockdale, Texas. We are excited to continue to build partnerships together,” said John King, Rockdale Mayor.

The cryptocurrency mining farm in Texas, completed using a newly developed design patent, is the third cryptocurrency mine project invested in by Bitmain in the US, one of the company’s most strategic overseas locations. 

“This mining facility marks a major milestone in the development of the mining farm industry. We are proud to partner with Bitmain, the leading innovator in this sector”, said Sheldon Bennett, COO of DMG, which will manage and operate the mining facility in Rockdale.

DMG will provide hosting and management services for the Texas facility. Bitmain and DMG will work together to expand the capacity and to ensure efficient operations of Bitmain’s mining hardware. 

Both parties will work with the local workforce commission, the Rockdale MDD, on the project development and to grow its on-ground team at the Rockdale mining facility. The will look to local suppliers in the town as preferred vendors to support the ongoing construction of the data centre. 

To power the project, Bitmain is purchasing energy directly from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which operates the electric grid in Rockdale, Texas.

Bitmain has plans to work with the local school district to provide education and training on blockchain technology and mining data centre operations. In doing so, it hopes to contribute to the future growth of the surrounding communities.

FRANKFURT, 9 October, 2019 – Jihan Wu, Co-founder of Bitmain, announced two cryptocurrency mining models – S17+ and T17+ – from the Antminer 17 series at the World Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) in Frankfurt today.

Both new miners will come with improvements to power efficiency and hashrate. The Antminer S17+ has a hash rate of 73 TH/s and operates with a power efficiency of 40 J/TH + 10%, while the T17+ offers a hash rate of 64 TH/s and a power efficiency of 50 J/TH + 10%. 

“Our new Antminers are at the forefront of mining innovation. They each represent the future of its rig design and power efficiency. We remain committed to our research and development capabilities and will continue to improve our devices,” said Mr. Wu at the WDMS. 

By using dual tube heat dissipation technology, the miners have been designed so that the space between the air inlet to the air outlet has been reduced by 50%, improving heat dissipation effectively as well as reducing fan noise. Besides, a high temperature and fan abnormal protection mechanism has been built in to ensure the stable and safe operation of the miners.

Both Antminer S17+ and T17+ use the industry leading Exposed Die package solution and an optimized  all-in-one design, making the models easily to be implemented and can adapt to mining farms of different sizes.

SINGAPORE, 27 September 2019 – During the World Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) – which will take place in Frankfurt on 8-10 October – Bitmain will launch the first platform to connect mining hardware owners with mining farm owners via the World Digital Mining Map (WDMM).

To remain price-efficient, owners of mining hardware are regularly on the lookout for locations with the right conditions and power resources for cryptocurrency mining. The WDMM will be the first global resource to connect them with mining farms who have the available power resources to host them for a fee.

“The WDMM will help make cryptocurrency mining more sustainable in the long-run by connecting mining farms and hardware owners in a whole new way. It is part of our commitment to provide miners with on-going support throughout their hardware’s lifetime and to support the sector’s overall growth,” said Matthew Wang, Director of Mining Farm of Bitmain.

Mining farm owners can apply to be listed on the WDMM during the WDMS. Applicants will need to provide details on their current mining farm setup and capacity to host other miners. In return, participants will be given personalised services from Bitmain which includes assistance with mining farm design, connections to foreign customers to host, and support with operations, purchasing, and construction.

“Being listed on the WDMM helped me to find miners who want to host their rigs in my facility. Bitmain was able to connect me with the right customers to fill in the extra capacity I had. This is the support I needed to help me expand my facility at a faster pace,” said Gregory Ohanessian, Chief Mining Officer of VC Mining.

“Bitmain is our key partner. About 85% of the equipment in operation on our site is from Bitmain. In practice, we checked the reliability of this equipment, ease of operation, and highest efficiency. Bitmain not only sells equipment but also helps us operate and maintain the equipment in the most efficient way, it helps us to further the output and reduce the down time of our customers’ miners,” added Dmitrii Ushakov, Chief Commercial Officer of Bitriver.

During the WDMS, Bitmain will also announce the winners of the Top 10 Mining Farms around the world.  The summit will provide a workshop focused on mining farm data analysis, as well as discussions on the future of mining facilities. There will be opportunities for miners and mining farm owners to exchange ideas and explore partnership opportunities. Voting for the Top 10 Mining Farms is still open and individuals can cast a vote here.
