BTCM says the new LD4 machine has a higher maximum hashrate and offers better energy efficiency compared to LD3. The post Bit Mining Launches New Generation of Litecoin/Dogecoin Rigs appeared first on Tokenist.
What are the Upgrades in the LD4?
BTCM’s LD series miners are explicitly designed to offer maximum hashrate and energy efficiency for mining on the Litecoin and Dogecoin blockchains, the company said in the press release. The new series has a power efficiency of 0.71 W/MH, a notable gain compared to 0.73 W/MH offered by its predecessor, LD3. Similarly, the LD4 has a peak output of 5GH/s, up from LD3’s 4.8 GH/s.
“This breakthrough in mining efficiency makes LD4 the best machine available on the market for both Litecoin and Dogecoin. LD4’s reliable design features excellent heat dissipation, which enables its computing chip to frequently work at lower temperatures during long-term, consistent operations, and in turn extends LD4’s lifecycle.”

In addition, the LD4 uses an aluminum Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and a single airflow channel mining machine design. The aluminum construction allows for better thermal conductivity and makes it easier to maintain optimal operating temperatures, BTCM claims.
Crypto Mining Market Bouncing Back
The price recovery of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies this year gave a much-needed confidence boost to crypto mining firms after many of their peers failed to survive the 2022 downturn. Earlier this year, Bitdeer, a mining company founded by crypto entrepreneur Jihan Wu, announced plans to go public in a deal with a more than $1 billion valuation.
