You can see discussion and video here:

There are many speculation why hash rate drop, but no one know what is correct reason for that.

You can see original news and video in post above in topic. 😉

Shocking news indeed. Such a huge loss! I understand how it feels. Its really hard to take. We should be careful so that such thing never happen again in future.

In fact I couldn't open the link there seems to be a problem on the site, but this news really draws attention how can burn so many of these Mining Farm !!! What caused these fires is due to mining and high temperature devices or because of another natural ?? !!

The crack down on bitcoin mining in China is this serious! Without any thoughts for the amount invested, the government just chose to burn down an investment of this magnitude. Where will Innosilicon starts from? No notice to pack up. Too sad a news for crypto lovers

Chinese unlike any other country in the world are serious about their policies, here is Tanzania they built a football stadium, but the minister who was managing the construction was then hanged for not building a quality infrastructure.

Just now, Awaremooner said:

Policies or no policies, do you then believe Innosilicon, operating in China didn't know this? I'm sure the mining farm isn't expecting such a crackdown. 

When you say this, it make it seem add if the mining farm is working in China and oblivious of China policies

About Chinese policies I'm talking about generally, they say the do not want for their citizen to use social media and it happened, then they said they do not want crypto use and it happened. This burnt down is juts another governmental conspiracy.

This is really a bad news. But, as you know, the lesser the people that mine, the more the gain. But, the news was a sad one to be earnest.

I'm not a miner so the more mining activities does not affect me negatively rather positively as it leads to fast transactions.

[teminalibug 309]

Just now, Goodcoin said:

Sure, you are right. The more the people that mine the faster the transaction. But still, some transactions clearance time can still be prolonged even taking hours. This happens in bitcoin blockchain.

That is only because mining gets expensive sometimes, makes me wonder how mining would be after the halving because they say that mining cost will increase.

If Bitcoin does not go up after the halving could be the end of mining.

Mining can not end. Even the transaction fee that are deducted from transactions are given to them. Even, if all the coin has been mined, they will still get money because they are one updating the ledger. 

Secondly, it is certain the the price of bitcoin will trend up after halving and altcoin prices would follow.

hmmm, I do not understand the part where you said that mining will still go on eve n after all coins have been mined. And what is the ledger?

[teminalibug 309]

Blockchain ledger is just like a book where all transaction records are recorded and kept. This ledger is updated by miners and in  return they are paid the transaction fee.

Transaction fee + Mining reward = 12.5 bitcoin

 

People only think the 12.5 bitcoin is only from mining. But, transaction fee is among for updating the blockchain ledger.

Ah!, you have told me a very new thing that I came to  realize might actually be true, your text is very professional, if i may ask, who are you? 😮

This is a shock story. To be serious and sincere. And mining equipments are very expensive. This is a great loss.

I juts hope the time they have been mining, has already paid of for all they losses they incur, maybe they have enough money to start over.

I have read many articles on bitcoin many. That is the reason I know much about it. I wish to mine but later knew it is not as profitable as before.

That's great, So about mining; is it not profitable in your country alone or it is simply not profitable to new miners.

[Akbor 1042]

I think this is a very bad news for all crypto lover. mainly mining is needed for increasing the total supply. every new btc is created according to the transaction. I think this problem may be solved or the loss may be recovered by another way.

[teminalibug 309]

Just now, Goodcoin said:

Bitcoin and other top coin use ASICs to mine, it is the most efficient and the latest. It costs nothing less than $19,000 or more depending on the hash rate.

If miner join mining pool and making profit, he can only make 0.002 satoshi in a day. So, this will even take more than two or three year to make 1 bitcoin which is worth $7,500 at present. 

What about the electricity cost. 

I can not advice someone to mine because it is not profitable and it is getting less profitable everyday.

 

 

So the conclusion is mining is on only profitable to those who have been in mining for a long time, not new comers.

If they got money or insurance to rebuild their machines, then it will be fine, but if not, that's juts a loss in bitcoin market.

Why what happened? I can't seem to open the link you put. Was it owned by some company? Did people died? What was the cause of the fire? Huge loss of money. Imagine you're the one who own the Bitcoin mining, you would be pretty bummed

What a tragic news those it mean nothing can be done to recover any of the loses 

I do not know,  do not think the was anything recovery, the fore was too hot and  the loss was too big.

[tung12345 30]

Though the amount at dispute may seem insignificant, the case sheds light on the increasing investments by institutions in China into an area where even public entities typically shy away from public discussions.

[Arsm 63]

Any reason for the fire? Electrical or just the miners heated up and caught fire? I dont know much about the things in mining rigs but even if the fire was put out using water or ice etc., will the mining rigs still be damaged?

[jacker 1095]

I'm so sorry, condolences. I was shocked to hear this. Everything is very difficult and challenging. I hope this never happens again.

[Whited35 15285]

I heard the news like this, "A fire at a major bitcoin mining farm in China has destroyed millions of dollars worth of equipment, according to reports. The incident took place on Monday at a data center operated by Innosilicon" ! So sad. 

[bentayebsalah 2280]

This is sad news that this equipment is lost and burned, but I think it happened because of the great pressure or something went wrong which made this mining farm burn.

Losing such a large amount of money due to a truly unfortunate commanding fire accident will be difficult to compensate for what was lost

[kadayakito 765]

$ 10 million is a big number, I was sorry to read that news. this is bad and it is certainly a huge loss and at the moment there is hardly anything to make up for it. That's why I'm always afraid and always careful.

[MrGeany 297]

well that happened and we survived from it so 10 million is nothing to bitcoins price and that can't make a big effect cause if it did than every millioner could in theory cheat with bitcoin price and manipulate it. so  it was a bad news but not a tragedy,
