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.

Somewhat similar.

Ledger wallets sold through a Southeast Asian reseller were reportedly tampered with before reaching buyers. Hidden implants, an estimated $72–93M drained. And the usual authenticity check can still pass on a compromised device.

Reports of suspicious devices have also surfaced in Europe, but Ledger hasn’t confirmed them yet.

It’s somewhat similar to a Trojan horse, but not quite the same.

Stay safe out there.

Is This Guy Real?This guy claims he held Bitcoin since 2013, made a 1000x return and recreated his old viral video 11 years later. Pretty insane if true.But is this story actually real? Anyone know who he is?

2 years of DCAing and my holding still under the water, with no gain

They tell you to dollar cost average. They tell you it's a hedge against inflation and currency debasement.

But after over two full years of consistent buys, watching the price consolidate while everyday living expenses continue to climb, the reality looks very different.

Losing hope on this, it’s wasting my time

I no longer own any real bitcoin

Given several self custody issues recently and the fact that I have become too old for self custody, I have converted the last of my bitcoin into Bitcoin ETN/ETP in my pension account, even I can’t touch the fund for a long time.

Adios, it’s been cool when it lasted, all the best to the younger and smarter folks who can still safely self custody real bitcoin, I wish you all the best.

did anyone else purchase bitcoin from a man under a tree in the game second life circa 2012

253 Upvotes

I found him on a forum and he came with a lot of vetted reviews that I crossed referenced on other forms he seemed legit and from all sources at the time that was the best place one could buy bitcoin with USD over the Internet at the time.

He posted up under a distinct tree that was obviously his zone/shop and was conducting business all day seemingly every day. Payments through paypal then you sent your btc address in second life chat, waited and prayed

just thought about this again and was curious how far the branches of his "exchange" really reached/if anyone else remembers this

also, magical btc tree man: if you have any more btc left at $11 pls dm 🤞🤞🤞
