Life Inside a Secret Chinese Bitcoin Mine
Life Inside a Secret Chinese Bitcoin Mine
In October of last year Motherboard gained access to a massive, secretive Bitcoin mine housed within a repurposed factory in the Liaoning Province in rural northeast China.
This is the infrastructure that keeps the digital currency’s decentralized network up and running, and its operators are profiting big time.
The mine we visited is just one of six sites owned by a secretive group of four people, part of a colossal mining operation that, as of our visit, cumulatively generated 4,050 bitcoins a month, equivalent to a monthly gross of $1.5 million.

in 5 years, they will wish they had ear protection I am thinkin.
This video inspired me to start digging for bitcoins. After few days of non stop working I end up with, wait for it.... A burned motherboard and CPU.
So I had to dig somewhere else, like in fathers pocket, which, I must say, is way more reliable source than bitcoin digging (unless u have super ultra mega giga turbo charged computer like this guy and a "slave").
