ePIC Blockchain Unveils Game-Changing Modular Universal Mining Controller at Blockchain Life 2024

Three form factors of the latest UMC modular design will be revealed at Blockchain Life in Dubai.
 
TORONTO, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a groundbreaking move to revolutionize the cryptocurrency mining industry, ePIC Blockchain Technologies (“ePIC”) announces the unveiling of its latest innovation of the ePIC Universal Mining Controller (UMC) product line at Blockchain Life in Dubai. The latest model of the UMC product line introduces a modular solution tailored for Bitcoin mining operations utilizing equipment from various manufacturers, emphasizing versatility and efficiency.


This innovative design consists of two key components: the carrier board and System-On-Modules (SOMs). This modular approach ensures universal compatibility across all supported mining rigs through uniform SOMs, where the firmware resides.


Manufacturer-specific customization can be achieved via the carrier board. This design philosophy not only caters to a broad spectrum of mining hardware but also alleviates the stress for buyers of maintaining excessive components in inventory.


At Blockchain Life, ePIC will reveal three specific form factors of the UMC – one for the Antminer S19 and S21 Series, one for Whatsminer M3x and M5x Series, and one for a custom hydro-cooling mining server. These showcases will highlight the UMC’s adaptability and versatility, demonstrating ePIC Blockchain’s commitment to fostering a more inclusive and sustainable mining ecosystem.


“The unveiling of our new UMC model at the Dubai Blockchain Life 2024 marks a significant milestone. Our modular solution is a testament to our commitment to innovation and support for the diverse needs of the mining community.” Earl Mai, CTO at ePIC Blockchain Technologies, expressed enthusiasm about the launch.
Perry Hothi, former CTO at Argo Blockchain praised the newly announced modular solution, stating, “This modular solution represents a pivotal advancement in mining hardware design. The flexibility it brings to the table is unmatched. I am particularly impressed by how it simplifies inventory management for enterprise-level mining fleets, further enabling a seamless and productive operation.”


The Blockchain Life 2024, known for bringing together industry leaders and innovators, serves as the perfect platform for this announcement. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the versatility and potential of the new UMC model firsthand.

ePIC Blockchain Announces UMC Support for M30 and M50 Series to Streamline Bitcoin-Mining Operations

The royalty-free, groundbreaking control board and firmware help Bitcoin mining companies to be agile by perpetually tuning for hashrate targets, minimizing mining downtime.

TORONTO, July 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ —  ePIC Blockchain, a pioneer in blockchain technologies, today reveals that the Universal Mining Control (UMC) product line has achieved a new milestone. The UMC board and custom firmware empower Bitcoin mining enterprises to automate crucial mining parameters and to extend mining uptime. The ePIC UMC and customised firmware now support the M30 and M50 series of Bitcoin miners. Support for other models will soon be released.

By using the Perpetual Tuning feature, the ePIC UMC and firmware automatically adjusts the system to a user-specified hashrate target at the best efficiency. It throttles down when approaching critical shutdown temperatures to minimize mining downtime.

ePIC UMC allows users to change power settings without rebooting the miner. For companies that participate in demand response with power companies, the implication is that the fleet of miners is now able to respond to incoming power curtailment requests with agility. Along with Perpetual Tuning, Bitcoin mining firms can now extend the uptime per day of their machines.

Earl Mai, CTO of ePIC Blockchain, stated, “Our goal is to empower Bitcoin mining enterprises by enhancing their existing fleets. We take pride in offering customer-focused solutions to optimize operating costs and maximize profitability, even in extreme environments.”

“I am pleased to see ePIC Blockchain’s innovation on the mining hardware stack. Their UMC solution has the potential to improve the operating efficiency and performance of mining hardware across manufacturers and models. As Bitfarms is always looking for ways to further improve our operating performance and utilization of our mining assets we welcome this kind of innovation.” noted Ben Gagnon, Chief Mining Officer at Bitfarms.

Chain Reaction and ePIC Blockchain Forge Collaboration for Hashing Systems

TEL AVIV, Israel, May 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chain Reaction, a semiconductor company focused on disruptive blockchain and privacy hardware, and ePIC Blockchain, a Bitcoin mining system leader, announced today they are collaborating to produce ePIC’s next-generation hashing systems for Bitcoin mining. The systems, expected in late 2023, will be based on Chain Reaction’s EL3CTRUM ASICs.

 

The Bitcoin network is headed towards one zettahash per second of computation speed, necessitating wider adoption of advanced technology. Additionally, as the projected halving in mid-2024 approaches, Bitcoin miners are eagerly sourcing and securing hardware that can provide ever-increasing efficiency.

 

Partnering to leverage their expertise in ASICs, GPUs, network design and system domains, Chain Reaction and ePIC Blockchain are delivering high-performance and efficient solutions for the Bitcoin proof-of-work problem. This partnership will facilitate scalability and help meet the rapidly evolving requirements of the industry.

 

ePIC is leveraging Chain Reaction’s expertise and knowledge to deploy new generations of hardware that will benefit its customers.

 

“We are excited to partner with ePIC Blockchain to deliver the next generation of high-performance hashing systems for Bitcoin mining,” said Alon Webman, CEO of Chain Reaction. “Bringing together our cutting-edge ASICs with ePIC’s expertise in BTC hashing systems enables us to provide data centers with a great opportunity to add capacity.”

 

“At ePIC Blockchain, we are committed to driving innovation in the BTC mining industry with high efficiency hashing systems,“ said Jim Seto, CEO of ePIC Blockchain. “We are excited to build systems based on Chain Reaction’s best-in-class products and utilize their engineering expertise.”

ePIC Blockchain Announces UMC Support for S19XP to Boost Bitcoin-Mining Capabilities

The royalty-free, groundbreaking control board and firmware achieves sub 19 J/TH efficiency, and allows Bitcoin mining companies to gain full control of their mining operations

 

TORONTO, Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ePIC Blockchain, a leader in blockchain technologies, announced today new developments in their Universal Mining Control (UMC) product line. Built with ePIC’s PowerPlay technology, the UMC board and custom firmware allow Bitcoin mining operations to optimize their fleets by providing control over important mining parameters. In the latest development, the ePIC UMC and custom firmware supports the S19 XP Bitcoin miner.

 

In addition, the UMC product line also supports the S19 J series, and more are under development. By using the UMC board and custom firmware, mining enterprises will have access to the API to enable customers’ specific features in consideration of their particular operating environment, to fine-tune operating metrics, including frequency and voltage.

 

The S19 XP with ePIC’s UMC is able to achieve an efficiency of under 19 J/TH in a properly air-cooled environment – an important milestone in today’s power cost environment and hashrate difficulty. In addition, as more mining operations are pivoting from air-cooled to liquid immersion, the immersion-ready UMC and its firmware enable users to disable fans and to facilitate a smooth transition to liquid immersion mining.

 

“The UMC and support of the S19 XP provides the flexibility to operate the miners in the performance and efficiency envelope best suited for the evolving financial conditions and power environment of Bitcoin mining”, says Jim Seto, CEO of ePIC Blockchain. “TCO (total cost of ownership) belongs in the hands of our customers and that is foundational to our royalty-free offering”.

 

“The firmware and hardware solutions from ePIC are ideally suited for customers to extend the product life cycle of their fleet and to lower their operating costs”, says Kevin Pan, CEO and founder at Poolin. “Poolin looks forward to optimizing our CapEx and OpEx footprint with ePIC solutions”.
