Airnet Technology Inc.（以前是Airmedia Group）在以太坊的POS合併後返回比特幣採礦

在Covid-19對商業飛行行業的負面影響之後，AirNet（以前稱為Airmedia Group Inc.）於2021年多樣化為以太坊採礦

AirNet Technology Inc. (AIRC) is planning to enter into a joint venture (JV) with LLP STH Corp to build a large-scale liquid-cooled Bitcoin mining facility in Kazakhstan. The facility will have a total capacity of 130MW, with 70MW being powered by the national grid and 60MW being powered by a natural gas self-generation facility. It will also utilize liquid-cooling technology to increase efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Airnet Technology Inc.（AIRC）計劃與LLP STH Corp建立合資企業（JV），以在哈薩克斯坦建立一個大規模的液體冷卻比特幣礦業設施。該設施的總容量為130兆瓦，由國家電網提供70MW，由天然氣自我生成設施提供動力。它還將利用液體冷卻技術來提高效率並降低能耗。

The JV will be formed by AirNet's subsidiary, Blockchain Dynamics Limited, and LLP STH Corp, a company focused on developing and managing large-scale projects in Kazakhstan. The parties have agreed to cooperate in good faith to complete the JV agreement by July 31, 2024.

合資企業將由Airnet的子公司Blockchain Dynamics Limited和LLP STH Corp成立，該公司致力於開發和管理哈薩克斯坦的大型項目。雙方已同意真誠合作，在2024年7月31日之前完成合資協議。

AirNet is a technology company that provides in-flight entertainment and connectivity solutions. The company diversified into cryptocurrency mining in 2021 following the impact of Covid-19 on the commercial flight industry, which affected its core business. AirNet acquired several units of GPU rigs and Ethereum-specific ASIC miners to mine ETH, which was still using Proof-of-Work at the time.

AirNet是一家提供機上娛樂和連接解決方​​案的技術公司。在Covid-19對商業飛行行業的影響後，該公司於2021年多樣化地進行了加密貨幣開採，這影響了其核心業務。氣網收購了幾個單位的GPU鑽機和以太坊特定的ASIC礦工來開採ETH，當時仍在使用工作證明。

However, after Ethereum transitioned to Proof-of-Stake on September 15, 2022, AirNet's hardware became obsolete and the company gradually ceased its mining operations by March 2024.

但是，在以太坊於2022年9月15日過渡到股份證明後，氣網的硬件變得過時了，該公司在2024年3月之前逐漸停止了其採礦業務。

Later that year, AirNet decided to re-enter the cryptocurrency mining sector, focusing this time on Bitcoin, which still uses Proof-of-Work. In May 2024, AirNet acquired 6,000 units of WhatsMiner M56C liquid-cooled Bitcoin ASIC miners from MicroBT, capable of hashing at a speed of 240 penta hashes per second (PH/s).

那年晚些時候，氣網決定重新進入加密貨幣採礦業，這次集中在仍然使用工作證明的比特幣上。 2024年5月，氣網收購了來自Microbt的6,000台Whats-Mininer M56C液冷比特幣ASIC礦工，能夠以每秒240個PENTA HASHES的速度（pH/s）散列。

AirNet also entered into an agreement with BTC KZ to host its mining servers at the latter's Almaty data center, where the temperature remains relatively low throughout the year, enabling efficient liquid-cooling for the miners.

氣網還與BTC KZ達成了一項協議，將其採礦服務器託管在後者的Almaty數據中心，該中心全年的溫度保持相對較低，為礦工提供了有效的液體冷卻。

Bitcoin's PoW consensus relies on a global network of miners who utilize specific mining hardware to compete in solving an arbitrary mathematical puzzle, securing the network and validating transactions. The successful miner receives block rewards as an incentive, currently set at 3.125 BTC.

比特幣的POW共識依賴於一個全球礦工網絡，他們利用特定的採礦硬件來競爭解決任意數學難題，確保網絡並驗證交易。成功的礦工將獲得阻止獎勵作為激勵措施，目前設定為3.125 BTC。

Until September 2022, Ethereum used the same consensus mechanism. Now, Ethereum's PoS consensus involves holders of the ETH crypto token staking their coins on the network to validate transactions, secure the network, and earn rewards based on the number of coins that are staked.

直到2022年9月，以太坊都使用了相同的共識機制。現在，以太坊的POS共識涉及ETH加密代幣的持有人將硬幣放在網絡上，以驗證交易，確保網絡並根據固定的硬幣數量獲得獎勵。
