Argentines create a new method to mine Bitcoins with water

With this in mind, a group of Argentines created SAM Hydro, a system that uses the water cooling technique and has become all the rage on social networks due to its ability to not only increase mining power but also to remove annoying noise from full of equipment.

In this context, the group of Latin American miners became news in the technology and finance environment. What they have been working on behind closed doors for months is now available to any enthusiast who wants to try it.

The startup, which has already developed similar products before, this time has a differentiation that makes it more affordable and manages to obtain returns very similar to its SAMMY system through Immersion Cooling; but the most important thing is that, as can be seen in the published video, it can be placed both in a single ASIC and in a large number of mining equipment, in a very small environment and be next to them talking normally, without requiring large farm modifications.

“What we did differently from most farms was, instead of modifying the location where we put the equipment, with acoustic panels, air conditioners, large extractors and intractors, filters, ducts or looking for remote locations, as is commonly done , we seek to modify the miners, which if we think about it, are actually responsible for generating noise and high temperatures that are difficult to control in order to obtain a satisfactory mining experience” says Facundo Casal, CEO of South American Miners, a leading startup in create farms with liquid cooling.

This is possible since the servers used to validate transactions in the Bitcoin blockchain are modified, removing the fans and certain interior parts, and replacing them with what they called SAM HYDRO, a device that even enters the equipment with water with a mixture of chemicals, which in indirect contact with the miner’s chips, extracts heat from them, and transports it outside, maintaining temperatures that are very difficult to reach with other types of refrigeration. This technique, known as Water Cooling, and in the past it was used to cool gaming or graphics computers for the same purpose, today it is something new in the crypto mining market.

“Broadly speaking, what we do is change the air, which is the common refrigerant used by most devices that require heat dissipation, for water. We safely carry cold water into the equipment and use it to extract the temperature generated by the chips. As a result, we obtain hot water, which we can reuse for another secondary use such as heating a swimming pool, underfloor heating or heating an entire home using radiators or for those who do not want to reuse this hot water, we also develop a silent device that is capable of cooling the return water from the equipment quickly in a loop without the need to dispose of the water, which is clearly a very valuable resource.” Casal concluded.
