The founder of the WhatsMiner mining machine, Zhang Xiaoting

“The mining industry will reach a balance point through the efforts of various industries and technology iterations.”
The market is cold, and mining machine sales have also encountered unprecedented pressure. In this context, the two major mining giants of Bitian, Jianan and Zhizhi have successively listed. Behind the giants, there are a large number of mining machine manufacturers. Who can ride the dust when the 100 companies are in business?_DJMINER

At 21:00 on August 23, 2018, WhatsMiner VP Zhang Xiaoyu was a guest at the "Mars Finance Founding Learning Group" and shared the theme of "The arrival of the mining machine."

He said that whether it is the innovation of the mining machine or the continuous iteration of the chip, it is the result of the efforts of the manufacturers and related departments. However, due to the current market downturn, the surge in computing power of the entire network is unfavorable to the mining machine manufacturers, and it is also annoying to those who have existing mining machines.

Despite this, the WhatsMiner mining machine team recently launched a 16nm BTC mining machine, the Shenma M10.


Brief History of Mine Machine, Animal Violence

From the current development of domestic miners, from the first roast cat to Xiaoqiang, then to Avalon and the mining giant ant, as well as the subsequent core movement, wing bit, and snow leopard, finally a black horse - Shenma appeared(WhatsMiner)._DJMINER

Today, all the miners are absolutely an important step forward in the joint efforts of all of us: from the original butterfly miner, the chip from 55 nm to 28 nm to 16 nm, 12 nm, 10 nm, 7 nm... The speed iteration is particularly rapid, and the computational power of the whole network has also been iterated a lot, which has exceeded 6 WP (BTC) by this morning.

Today's results can not be achieved without the unremitting efforts of R&D personnel and related departments of various manufacturers, which also reflects the ability of our national semiconductor industry to develop independently (special chip).

"We are all technological paranoiacs and microbts."


Under the leadership of Dr. Yang, the Shenma Initial Team has nine people.

First of all, from the name of Shenma, we are accustomed to millet and ants. What about Shenma? If you dare not say that, that is our answer, "All gods and horses are floating clouds".

Let's talk about the name of Bitwerk again. You may feel a little flat. Then we talk about Bitwerk's English microbt. Microbt is a micrometamorphosis.

Abnormal is actually a kind of persistence, because of persistent ideas and entrepreneurship dream, several people under the leadership of Yang Bo started Biwei.

Initial start-up market is not very good, and people are worried that one time can not succeed, for the start-up team is a very scary thing.

From July 2016 to March 2017, Shenma made its first 28nm film successfully. In mid-March, it broke the layer-by-layer monopoly and made its first WhatsMiner M1. The first one at 28nm achieved 11.5T power and 180 w/t power consumption.

But when the product was made, the market was not recognized and there were no customers._DJMINER

Finally, an old leek in the industry became our first single customer. He made us, and we made him. Subsequently, with the market going up, we introduced M2 and M3, which increased from 11.5 to 12.5T, from splitter to integrated machine, and also the first person in the industry to make the power supply adjustable frequency and voltage. When the market is good, we should limit the power consumption ratio of the power supply, increase the voltage and calculate the overfrequency, so as to keep the power consumption unchanged. Maximize revenue.
Now the market is depressed, so in the case of unchanged electricity costs, reduce the power consumption ratio to ensure revenue.

Now our 16-nm chip is also a success, raising the power of the past 16-nm chip from 13.5 T to 33 T. Of course, the current 12, 10 and 7 nm out, the original 28 nm does not have much advantage. In order to adapt to market changes, we have also changed from 28-nm design to 16-nm chip technology. Under the leadership of Yang Bo, our brothers have been persistently demonstrating one thing day and night, repeatedly demonstrating the 16-nm library, and repeatedly simulating (electricity and heat) themselves, requiring the products to achieve the ultimate.

At present, the market is in a downturn, the explosion of the whole network computing power is not conducive to the miners, but also doubles the worries of the existing miners. The industry is commonly known as "cutting leek".

M3 in the current situation, not obvious, at that time is a cost-effective machine. Now the 16-nm M10 is also very cost-effective. Through the efforts and technical iterations of each country, the mining machinery industry will reach a balance point.

Dashen Yang Bo's Handmade Fully Customized Chip

16nm is the most stable chip industry, technology has been meticulously honed by numerous researchers, 16nmASIC chip we used Yang Bo's fully customized methodology for research and development.

Choosing 16nm, we think that physical performance is the same level as 12nm, and wafer price will be cheaper. To achieve breakthroughs, we must have a group of daring and challenging technologists.

Full customization is not good for me. I am not a chip technician. I probably know that it took Yang Bo three months to manually use his hands to put out the internal structure of the chip. The Library of the back end is also very perfect. This high performance-price ratio needs technology precipitation. I don't think I'll talk about it here. At present, there are or will be more or less technical puzzles in the market._DJMINER
