Interesting that the owner of such a big mining facility is so inactive on BitcoinTalk.

Doesn't surprise me at all.
He could be busy with other work, active on another forum - in other words - has a life outside of here.

Is there any other good forum for bitcoin mining discussion ?

There are some ocasional posts on reddit and some pools have their own forums, but this one is the largest.

There's also cryptocointalk. That's the next biggest forum, after this one.

I'm guessing that this farm didn't have proper overcurrent protection and grounding. I don't think the density is what's at fault.

Don't want to draw conclusions but the setup looks a bit greedy. I mean he had the cash to buy all these fancy miners, but stacked them all on top of each other to fit as many as he could in that small space. The wiring is a mess and I assume the electricians did a lousy job. This could have been avoided if he just cut 2 or 3 of those SP30's and used the cash elsewhere.

There are hundreds of these in the warehouse! Shocked

Just imagine the current they draw and the heat they generate, no wonder it burnt down. If not I have one or two of those miners.

Looking at the photo it looks like the fire fire start at the melted cables on the right! Wink

and you can tell that from looking at that picture? Here is the fire while it was still raging:

All cables (not too mention everything else) are burned to a crisp. No way you can tell from a photo where the fire originated. But then I dont understand how firemen manage to do that with any serious fire.

I've heard of arsonists among firefighters. They were being paid extra if there was a fire, so they decided to torch some old buildings.
If they only knew the possibilities this crypto industry has to offer Cheesy

Rumor is three different buildings burnt down.

What usually happens with overloaded cables is.. it all seems to be running fine.. until you get a some hot weather or an extractor fan fails.

Three separate buildings going up wouldn't be a surprise, the heat from one fire, causes the overloaded cables in the next building to fail.

Looking for an answer to this.

People need to understand the load their mining machines require and if their electrical systems can handle it!

Wow. I almost feel bad, but then I realize the difficulty will not jump as much as it would have. Cheesy

yeah true. makes you wonder if someone slips an envelope of cash into the right persons mail box could this be the new way of DC's fighting the competiton?

If they are 6-8ph that is 3 percent of the network. Take out a few big places in a few spots and a big asic mining company could really rack up.

ie bitfury /cex.io or discus fish or knc could sabotage some competition via arson.

These were sp30's if you were out to get spondoolies and you could burn a second sp30 site down people would think spondoolies gear is bad.

I wonder if the next year will bring about some massive btc meltdowns or torch ups world wide.

sounds fun! Grin

It is painful to watch... Without proper anti fire policy there is not point in industrial mining I think.
