Airnet Technology Inc.（以前是Airmedia Group）在以太坊的POS合并后返回比特币采矿

在Covid-19对商业飞行行业的负面影响之后，AirNet（以前称为Airmedia Group Inc.）于2021年多样化为以太坊采矿

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）计划与LLP STH Corp建立合资企业（JV），以在哈萨克斯坦建立一个大规模的液体冷却比特币矿业设施。该设施的总容量为130兆瓦，由国家电网提供70MW，由天然气自我生成设施提供动力。它还将利用液体冷却技术来提高效率并降低能耗。

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.

合资企业将由Airnet的子公司Blockchain Dynamics Limited和LLP STH Corp成立，该公司致力于开发和管理哈萨克斯坦的大型项目。双方已同意真诚合作，在2024年7月31日之前完成合资协议。

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是一家提供机上娱乐和连接解决方​​案的技术公司。在Covid-19对商业飞行行业的影响后，该公司于2021年多样化地进行了加密货币开采，这影响了其核心业务。气网收购了几个单位的GPU钻机和以太坊特定的ASIC矿工来开采ETH，当时仍在使用工作证明。

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，在以太坊于2022年9月15日过渡到股份证明后，气网的硬件变得过时了，该公司在2024年3月之前逐渐停止了其采矿业务。

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).

那年晚些时候，气网决定重新进入加密货币采矿业，这次集中在仍然使用工作证明的比特币上。 2024年5月，气网收购了来自Microbt的6,000台Whats-Mininer M56C液冷比特币ASIC矿工，能够以每秒240个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.

气网还与BTC KZ达成了一项协议，将其采矿服务器托管在后者的Almaty数据中心，该中心全年的温度保持相对较低，为矿工提供了有效的液体冷却。

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.

比特币的POW共识依赖于一个全球矿工网络，他们利用特定的采矿硬件来竞争解决任意数学难题，确保网络并验证交易。成功的矿工将获得阻止奖励作为激励措施，目前设定为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识机制。现在，以太坊的POS共识涉及ETH加密代币的持有人将硬币放在网络上，以验证交易，确保网络并根据固定的硬币数量获得奖励。
