Bitmain’s rack-native S23e U2H packs 865 TH/s into a 2U hydro chassis at 10 J/TH. The November futures batch is sold out after a 50% promotional price cut.

Bitcoin ASIC efficiency can change depending on where power is measured. Here is how nameplate, wall and facility J/TH differ—and why miners should care.

Fortitude secured priority access to Bitmain’s unreleased next-generation Zcash ASICs under a non-binding commitment of up to ₿1,170.16 ($100 million). Here is what is known—and what Bitmain still has not disclosed.

Yes—solar can power a data center. But running one continuously is harder because servers need electricity at night, during storms, and during periods when solar production is weak. The answer is therefore: solar can supply a large share of the energy, but 24/7 operation requires storage, overbuilt generation, demand flexibility, another firm source, a grid…

Yes—data-center waste heat can warm homes. In the right location, it is not even speculative. Cities in Northern Europe are already connecting data centers to district-heating systems so the heat produced by servers can be moved into homes, offices, and public buildings instead of simply being dumped outdoors. The catch is that heat reuse only…

Yes—a data center can run entirely off-grid. But once the facility gets large, the engineering problem changes from “can we make enough electricity?” to “can we make enough electricity every second of every day, through bad weather, equipment failures, maintenance, fuel interruptions, and sudden computing spikes?” That is why the short answer is not simply…
