I think that it somehow makes sense. I mean, from what I've read the important services are disrupted.
The maintenance personnel should stay mostly home for now. I'm not sure how do they live in the mine as the owner claims, I'm not sure that's also legal.
And.. what if such a facility catches fire? I'm not sure the fire service will come to extinguish it.

Sounds like someone could just be saying he got caught tapping into residential power for commercial use, or paying discounted rates when he shouldn't be (which is the major reason they're closing down operations related to mining). And to save face, blame it on coronavirus.

I don't believe the outbreak's got anything to do with price. But I believe far less that it's got anything to do with officials shutting down a remote facility that likely has no risk of contagion anyway.

Where are those who are telling everyone that the corona virus will be good for bitcoin? Any world crisis creating event will never be good for anything. Those people creating those types of storyboards only want a pump.



A huge bitcoin mine has been shut down in China in an attempt to contain the Coronavirus outbreak that has now reached 28,000 confirmed cases in China.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of bitcoin mining pool BTC.Top, revealed the forced shutdown on Tuesday, stating according to a very rough translation:

“Epidemic prevention in some places is already a mess. I have a mine in a remote suburb. The police came to force all the mining authorities and said that they would not resume work.

As infection numbers increase, however, it seems more and more measures are being taken to the point authorities there are now closing down remote mining farms, like the one pictured above.

Zhuoer said this is just one of many of his farms, but he appears concerned other premises might close too, stating:

“If we go on like this, most of the people (especially the laboring people in the front line) will have to die of poverty without suffering from the virus.”
