The Proto miner hardware seems like a real step-change for ASICs. The reusable rig is amazing, now just swap out hashboards.
The modularity and openness (software and hardware) will allow everyone to do a lot more with them, and for a lot longer.
The rig is part of the infrastructure. The upgrade path is so much easier
An ASIC double wide!
Three machines worth of hashrate density in the space of two.
Great start to more efficient and affordable mining rigs. 💯
It’s like x86 platform coming to mining
Watching Proto's live stream, I realized the biggest problem for miners is having their mining interrupted when a machine crashes. Even if just a fan broke, they had to shut down the whole machine and stop mining. They needed to open the case with a Phillips screwdriver, let it cool down, and wait until the machine was back in a good mood. During that time, product support didn’t really help — it was just a matter of waiting.
I couldn’t believe it at first, but this new machine doesn’t stop mining even if one board fails. You can replace the broken board without shutting the whole thing down. Truly non-stop.
