杰克·多尔西 (Jack Dorsey) 的支付公司正在“正式建立一个开放的 Bitcoin 采矿系统’
In mid-October 2021, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey revealed the payments firm Block Inc. (formally Square) was considering joining the bitcoin mining industry. Three months later, Dorsey tweeted that his firm was “officially building an open bitcoin 挖矿系统。”
The Block’s Hardware General Manager: ‘We See Bitcoin Mining as a Long-Term Need for a Future That Is Fully Decentralized and Permissionless’
Jack Dorsey 和 Block 的硬件总经理 Tom Templeton 讨论 the company’s focus on bitcoin mining this week. Templeton 解释 that three months ago the Block hinted at building a bitcoin mining system and the firm has ultimately decided to step into the field.
Templeton insists the goal is to make mining “more distributed and efficient in every way” and this includes maintenance, purchases, and setting up. “We’re interested because mining goes far beyond creating new bitcoin. We see it as a long-term need for a future that is fully decentralized and permissionless,” Templeton 啾啾.
Some of the problematic issues they had found people deal with when it comes to bitcoin mining include things like mining rig availability, machine reliability, and performance. “Some mining rigs generate unwanted harmonics in the power grid,” Templeton said. “They’re also very noisy, which makes them too loud for home 采用。”
Templeton 进一步补充说，该公司已经评估了许多“IP 块、开源矿工固件和其他系统软件产品”。
此外，Block 的硬件团队正在组建一批专用集成电路 (ASIC) 和软件设计人员。 除此之外，邓普顿指出，该公司还在招聘电气工程师、模拟设计师和布局工程师。
Data on January 16, 2022, shows there’s only a handful of ASIC bitcoin mining rig manufacturers today including Bitmain, Ebang, Canaan, Microbt, Innosilicon, Ipollo, and Strongu. Today’s 顶级机器，在每日利润和 SHA256 terahash 性能方面，由 Bitmain、Ipollo、Microbt 和 Canaan 制造。
单个 Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro (100 TH/s) 的成本在 10 万美元到 15 万美元之间。 这台机器，尤其是使用今天的 BTC 汇率和每千瓦时 0.12 美元的电力将产生估计每天 16.23 美元的利润。
