I would like to start a story about Hotmine company and share the company's developments since 2013.
We've been working in secret from the bitcointalk community the last six years. Well, apparently, it is a time to share a story. I will clarify that in this thread I will post stories/facts by the year, starting from 2013.
As usual, it all started with a few enthusiasts and a rented apartment but for now our team is headquartered in Ukraine and consist of the following professionals:
2 administrative officers
2 electronics engineers
2 programers
1 data scientists
1 power engineers
1 mechanics
2 QAs
2 assemblers
1 sales team members
1 supply chain team members
COMPANY FACTS. 2013
First immersion cooling Bitcoin miner\water heater.
This rack with 5 servers was built on 55nm chips. Each server consisted of 2 modules of 2.5 kW (+-5%) and 2,5 Th/s.
The total capacity was 25 Th/s (+-5%) and 25 kW (+-5%). At that time, the server has been mining 50 bitcoins per day! Impressive isn't it?
Also we have been starter thread with our current development — convector miner:

To confirm that we are developers and equipment manufacturers., here is a video from our CEO on the Hotmine youtube channel, which shows the process of developing in slideshow:

Hotmine.io company facts. 2014
Immersion cooling Bitcoin miner\water heater v.2
Features:
55nm ASIC chip
81 Th/s of computing power
81 KWt power consumption-highest power consumption per single mining unit for that moment
Module with chips:
Final stage of development:
I would like to note that the company was fully engaged and is now engaged in research and development. There was practically no sales, but the experience remained and the development continues.
Also here is video on youtube with working heater v2(Posting date not saved): https://youtu.be/HhmNJggnRiE.
Same video on the CEO's channel(Saved publication date): https://youtu.be/rOt3dNDvaaE
Videos are shown solely for history. To avoid any questions: new "hotmine" youtube channel is on the "hotmine miner" account, there are just a few videos left on the old account...
