There goes 1,000+ rigs worth of pc parts...

Sorry but WTF. So nobody thought of other uses for that hardware. Just another example of human wastefulness.

No need to be sorry by me--we're on the same page 

 

I did figure the article might stir up some controversy though.

Trying to set an example perhaps, or maybe the miner was warned to shut down and didn't.

Even so. Punish them with proper sentencing and fines. Crushing stuff for the sake of crushing has always just seemed pointlessly vengeful.

 

Especially with the well known silicon shortage, this is even more absurd lol.

 

If im being honest the authorities in one sense just became as guilty as the original offender. I guess this just irritates me considering the world we live in now. I digress lol.

Not to mention all that silicon that has "Made in Malaysia" on it. 

 

Maybe we should stop buying it?

Oh yes irritating for sure. I just wonder if their justice system there might not have much ability to deal with this is any other way. Takes man hours to sort and redistribute that tech.

Hmmm,I wonder what the odds are they were stripped before cases were crushed and parts sold off in a separate auction? Crushing done for public reaction on how tough we are on criminals etc.,etc.,....

I am sure those metals and other materials will be recycled with utmost care

Those are all ASIC miners guys, they can't be repurposed in any meaningful way other than to mine other coins.
