Setup and Operation Guide

Installation Process for WhatsMiner M6XS+ Series

Setting up a WhatsMiner ASIC requires careful consideration of both the mining environment and the necessary electrical infrastructure. The WhatsMiner M6XS+ series typically operates on a standard voltage of 220-240V. Here’s how to get started:

1. Unbox the WhatsMiner: Carefully unbox the WhatsMiner and place it in your designated mining area.

2. Power and Internet Connection: Connect the miner to the power supply and use a hardwired Ethernet cable to connect it to the internet, as these devices do not support Wi-Fi connectivity.

Optimal Configuration for WhatsMiner M6XS+ Series

Once the miner is physically set up, follow these steps to configure it for operation:

1. Access the Miner’s Interface:

○ Determine the IP address of your newly connected miner.

○ Log in using the default credentials (username: admin, password: admin).

○ For security, it is recommended to change the default password immediately.

2. Configure Mining Pool Settings:

○ Enter the details of your chosen mining pool.

○ Set up the pool worker name and password.

○ Configure backup pools (Pool 2 and Pool 3) to ensure continuous operation in case the primary pool experiences downtime.

3. Selecting a Mining Pool:

○ When choosing a mining pool, it's important to consider decentralizing the hash rate. Opt for pools with lower hash rates to support network decentralization and reduce the risks associated with any single pool controlling over 50% of the network hash rate.

ROI Analysis for Miners

Investing in efficient mining hardware is a crucial consideration for potential miners. Mining equipment, especially Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), can be quite costly, which has led to the centralization of Bitcoin mining in certain regions where such investments are more feasible. Evaluating the return on investment (ROI) timeline is essential when investing in mining hardware, as various factors can impact whether the equipment pays for itself. For instance, the Phoenix Group recently entered into a $136 million contract with MicroBT for hydro-cooling WhatsMiners, with an option for an additional $246 million investment. This example underscores the significant initial costs involved in the mining industry.

Projected Earnings

To estimate potential profitability, miners can utilize online Bitcoin mining calculators that consider several key factors:

1. Hardware hash rate
2. Power consumption
3. Electricity cost
4. Current Bitcoin price
5. Mining difficulty

It's important to remember that these factors are subject to change, which can affect profitability over time. High-end Bitcoin miners can consume over 3000W of power, equating to approximately 72 kWh per day for a single machine.

Block rewards are a vital component of mining profitability. Currently, the block reward is 12.5 BTC per block, but this amount halves roughly every four years. Despite the reduction in block rewards, the value of Bitcoin has historically increased, helping to maintain mining profitability.

 

Final thoughts

MicroBT's latest WhatsMiner M63 S+ series is transforming the Bitcoin mining landscape with its enhanced efficiency and performance. These new models provide miners with various options tailored to their needs, showcasing MicroBT's dedication to advancing cryptocurrency mining technology through improved chip design and durability.

Dr. Yang announced that additional products and solutions are planned for release in the spring of 2025. After his speech, Wright Wang, MicroBT's Sales & Marketing Director, joined a panel discussion with Ghazaleh Barman from Riot Platforms and Niek Beudeker from Peak Mining, part of Northern Data Group. The panel discussed the importance of collaboration in the industry, from manufacturing to mining operations. Wang highlighted that Riot operates the world's largest immersion-cooling deployment, while Northern Data is gearing up for a significant hydro-cooling deployment, both primarily utilizing WhatsMiner products.
