From what someone posted:
I have few miners @ Oregon Mines, they have been mining there for like 4-5 Months with no issues.
last Monday 13th of January 2020, my miners went offline, and haven't come back ever since....I've been emailing them everyday for 5 days, and no answer, tried the phone....no answer.
Anybody here do any business with them? I'm starting to get nervous.

Dear Client,
The last 18 months have been very difficult for cryptocurrency miners and hosting facilities such as Oregon Mines (OM). Many of the miner types that supported our operations (Bitmain L3s for example) are no longer worth hosting and others can only support deeply discounted hosting fees (Bitmain S9s for example).
As a result of substantially reduced hosting fees coupled with debt service created during our 2018 expansions, OM is no longer able to operate its primary facility and will be substantially reducing hosting immediately. We will continue to host a limited amount of current generation equipment in our overflow facility for clients wishing to do so. Current generation includes Avalon 10 Series, Bitmain B7, S17, T17, and Z11 Series, and Innosilicon T2Ts. Use this form to request hosting space for current generation miners: Reservation form.
We are actively seeking a buyer for the primary facility and will update you if a purchaser is found that wishes to continue hosting for third parties. Also the sale opens an potential opportunity for clients who may be interested or know anyone interested in owning a cryptocurrency focused data center.
It is important that clients with older generation miners in our facility, whether hashing or idle, arrange for relocation of the miners. OM will handle packing and shipping with a prepayment of $20 per miner or the equipment may be picked up from our center in The Dalles, Oregon weekdays by appointment.
This is truly a sad day for us. OM began hosting late in 2014 with a view towards being the best provider possible. In retrospect, the high cost of building a climate controlled, interior hosting facility that was well-staffed turned out to be an expensive proposition that proved untenable as hosting fees were pushed down to accommodate reduced mining income.
Thank you for the opportunity to host your miners.
Sincerely,
Terrence and Tom Thurber
