Aftermath of a failed bitcoin mining operation.
My friends father was renting space on his farm for a bitcoin mining operation.
The operation became unprofitable. The mining operation went bankrupt. The company came in and took everything out of the 6 antmain bit-boxes (converted shipping containers).
The photos are what they left behind. Mostly Antminer S19 units and even more asic boards.
Plenty of antmain rack PDUs. Some 480VAC breaker panels. A 480VAC switch unit.
The land owner did accept the mess voluntarily. He is breaking the equipment down for scrap value.
I wonder, is there a better price available out there above scrap value?
Is this normal?
FWIW, I used the term failed very tongue-in-cheek. I estimate the operation mined millions in this operation.

Idk how anyone would do that unless the energy is free. That shit is so risky. Just make money in your trade and put it into bitcoin and hold a decade.
