Thieves steal 600 powerful bitcoin-mining computers in huge heist

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Damn the crazy part is that those aspics hardware computers that mine for crypto-currency are like $7,000-10,000 a piece....Imagine they could of got away with $6 million worth of hardware!

It's like people just don't know that there's more than enough for all of us, but because there are a few who feel so disconnected from source, they steal, cheat and lie. Most governments, big companies and religions take the corner on this behavior.

“the ap reports that police are tracking energy consumption across ice-land in case the thieves turn on their new computers and place a strain on the grid, since that could potentially lead them back to the stolen computers' location.”

Now, if I'm correct

wouldn't Iceland be the stupidest place on earth to make a robbery of this magnitude? There's only 334,252 people on an island the size of Kentucky.

Not cool :-(

WAIT TIL QUANTUM COMPUTERS GET MASS PRODUCED, my goodness me you wait till a Chinese or US lab gets broken into and one is stolen....hashing power to the hilt my dude

So they can't use them or else the police will find out where they are... lol what a pointless robbery!

Well ain't that a bitch.
Following any power consumption upticks does make sense.
It would be pretty hard to distribute that much hardware among friends and family for mining.

Height of stupidity,the thieves would be on cloud nine before they realize they would get caught if they use it.
It's like a drunk man claiming to be most powerful man on the earth.

Dang thats a huge heist, But miners just like computers have a internal address, so soon as they hook them up they should be able to be traced

haha.... to whom are we asking questions to....

heellllllooooooo

I agree that Iceland is not the best place for the robbery. Looking forward to see how this story develops.

This is so sad to hear. I hope Bitcoin and other crypto won't be affected by this bad report. They might really think crypto is being used by criminals.

I suppose you can rob crypto now lol

Will one wake up one day, and their debit card will suddenly be operating with a Bitcoin operating system?

If you annihilate this robbery, you can deduce that the police must be involved in these cases, since most are thieves with plates and would not dismiss the idea that they are involved in this. regards

I am trying hard to make sense of this comment but failing
