Fire affects bitcoin. Hash rate drops
On September 30, the hashrate of the first cryptocurrency network significantly decreased and amounted to 82 EC / s. Such a drop in hashrate is associated with a fire that destroyed $ 10 million of mining equipment.
According to Marshall Long on Twitter, one of the first Bitcoin miners, a fire rages on the squares of the Innosilicon mining center. There are few details, but the video shows that the devices work even during a fire. As the partner of the cryptocurrency company Primitive Ventures, Davy Wan, said that $ 10 million worth of equipment was damaged in the fire.
Note that the Innosilicon company is still silent. But commentators on social networks immediately linked the drop in bitcoin hash with a fire at the company's facilities.
Recall that until recently, the bitcoin hash rate was constantly growing and was already approaching 100 exheshes per second. According to CoinDesk reporters, the reason for the hash growth was the commissioning of more than 500,000 ASIC miners.
