Sazmining Begins Selling Proto Immersion Hashboards Developed by Jack Dorsey's Company

WHY IT MATTERS

Bitcoin mining is the process by which new Bitcoin transactions are verified and added to the blockchain. Miners use specialized computer hardware called hashboards to solve complex math problems, and in return they earn Bitcoin as a reward. These hashboards generate a lot of heat, so cooling them is a major challenge. Immersion cooling — dunking the hardware in a special liquid that does not conduct electricity — is one solution that some miners use to keep equipment cool and running efficiently. Think of it like how some high-performance race car engines use liquid cooling instead of just air. This news is notable because Jack Dorsey, a well-known tech figure, is entering the Bitcoin mining hardware market through his company Proto, and Sazmining is now making that hardware available to buyers.
