As for those who already own ASICs and video cards, there is also good news - their devices can be given a new lease of life throughout overclocking and extending their lifespan in a dust-free environment.

The more devices involved, the more electricity is required for the farm. The original solution implies the use of renewable energy sources. We will try to find out how real is it and analyze its demand among miners.

Literally, the abbreviation ASIC stands for “application-specific integrated circuit”. To put it simply, this device is designed to solve a specific problem.

ASIC cooling takes a lot of resources and the result does not often satisfy the miners. How comes it?

This is mainly refers to varieties of mineral oils, PAOM, silicone oils (PMS, PDMS, PES siloxanes) or fluoroketone. So why have we decided to conduct a bunch of experiments and choose an optimal and cheap composition considering that there are plenty of solutions out there?

Revolution in mining is coming up. Most likely, users will switch from their previous unbeaten ASIC devices to FPGA, but GPU will be used only for games and neural networks. Will we witness such a transition this year?
