VolcMiner Unveils Groundbreaking D1 Pro Miner at BTC 2025, Dominating Scrypt Mining Performance
HongKong, China, June 1, 2025 -- On May 29th, the monumental BTC 2025 conference successfully concluded after three days of exhibitions, attracting a record-breaking 35,000 attendees. During the event, leading mining hardware manufacturer VolcMiner officially revealed the specifications of its latest D1 Pro miner, whose industry-leading 151J/G energy efficiency ratio completely outperformed competitors and became the centerpiece of the show. VolcMiner Co-founder Steve Gao was invited to speak at both BTC 2025 and LTC Summit 2025. In his keynote address, he emphasized, 'VolcMiner is committed to providing every miner with more choices and freedom. Through technological innovation, we aim to lower mining barriers and collectively build a more open and sustainable mining ecosystem.' This vision not only resonated strongly with attending miners but also earned praise and endorsement from Litecoin creator Charlie Lee. According to professional evaluation agencies, VolcMiner D1 Pro's 4D packaging technology and ultra-low voltage design deliver 5x the performance of traditional solutions, while its deeply optimized on-chip memory computing architecture reduces power consumption by 75%. With these dual technological advantages, the D1 Pro achieves: -Normal Mode:18G hash rate at just 3500W, with an unprecedented 194J/G efficiency—currently the best among all mass-produced Scrypt miners. - Low Power Mode: Maintains 9G hash rate while drastically cutting power to 1360W, achieving a record-breaking 151J/G efficiency. This surpasses VolcMiner's own previous benchmark of 165J/G set at MiningDisrupt in March 2025, offering an ultimate power-saving solution for high-electricity-cost regions. 'The VolcMiner D1 Pro not only redefines Scrypt mining efficiency standards but also ensures long-term, stable profitability for miners through its flexible dual-mode operation—especially crucial amid today's volatile global energy prices,' stated Steve Gao. The miner is now available for global pre-order, with the first batch scheduled for delivery in Q3 2025. During the exhibition, VolcMiner's booth showcased live demonstrations of the D1 Pro's real-time efficiency, drawing large crowds of industry professionals. Analysts predict its launch may accelerate the phase-out of older miners with efficiency ratios above 300J/G, ushering in a new era for Scrypt mining.

Permanent new Vancouver exhibit honours contributions of Chinese-Canadian soldiers
The contributions of Chinese-Canadian soldiers during the Second World War are being highlighted in an immersive new Vancouver exhibit timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the conflict's end. Titled 'A Soldier for All Seasons,' the exhibit is a collaboration between the Chinese Canadian Military Museum and Vancouver's Chinese Canadian Museum, where it will be on permanent display. 2:15 This is BC: Second World War veteran Charlie Lee celebrates 100th birthday Randall 'Bud' Wong, president of the Chinese Canadian Mulitary Museum and a retired B.C. Supreme Court judge, said the war was a transformational moment for Chinese-Canadians' acceptance in Canada, anchoring their successful fight for civil rights. Story continues below advertisement 'It's important for young Chinese-Canadians to learn their history, and also for the public to understand why multiculturalism is so important in Canada today,' he said. 'Over 600 volunteered to join and serve in the army, navy, air force and also in the commando unit behind Japanese lines … when they came back, they said we fought in one war and we achieved two victories: one was to defeat canada's enemies, and the second was to obtain the right to vote … and also, to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, which separated Chinese-Canadian families for 24 years.'

Story continues below advertisement One of its more innovative elements is a 'holobox' that contains life-sized 3D representations of Chinese-Canadian soldiers retelling the experiences of real wartime servicemembers. 'We hired Chinese-Canadian actors in order to tell the stories of these soldiers that have never been told before in a museum setting,' said Dr. Melissa Karmen Lee, the museum's CEO. That's a feature Rick Wong, whose father was a part of Operation Oblivion, an elite guerrilla unit that operated behind Japanese lines, said will help get the museum's stories through to younger audiences, like his daughter. 'She has told me she doesn't mind looking at artifacts, doesn't mind looking at pictures, but doesn't want to read a lot of text, so having the 3D hologram thing, I think, is a great step forward — it really brings things to life,' he said. 1:57 Chinese-Canadian soldier's contributions are finally being remembered He said the contribution of Chinese-Canadian troops has long been underrepresented in Canadian retellings of the war, something he hopes having a permanent exhibit in the museum will help address. Story continues below advertisement He also hopes the exhibit can steer visitors across the street to the Chinese Canadian Military Museum, which includes a more fulsome collection, but is a little more off the beaten path. 'It is kind of an intro into some of the greater stories that are across the road,' he said. Organizers also believe the new exhibit can help draw more tourists to the area, helping to kickstart the ongoing revitalization of Vancouver's historic Chinatown. 'Chinatown in many ways is improving,' Lee said. 'We see more people on the streets, we see more restaurants and shops opening, different generations of people coming.'
