Marathon Digital posts quarterly record of 2,195 Bitcoin mined in Q1
1 min readBitcoin (
Marathon expects operational efficiencies to continue having purchased a new batch of Antminer S19 XPs Bitcoin mining rigs that are said to be nearly 30% more efficient than the Antminer S19 Pro.
Once those miners are installed approximately 66% of Marathon’s hash rate will come from the S19 XPs, it said.
The design of S19 XPs has, however, been criticized by fellow Bitcoin mining firm Compass Mining.
In a March report the firm identified “three flaws” of the new S19s which may result in the mining rig overheating, or in some cases, shutting down completely.
