If the story is true, I'm guessing this was mistranslated & it could have cost them millions if the cats damaged the equipment. If it really cost them anything, they'd have mentioned what happened.

Probably caused the servers to overheat, or the cats stepping on the power button, and cost millions of Mongolian Tugrik in downtime...

Or it's a shit post ;)

I'm guessing that the accumulated shedding did extensive damage to the equipment AND the owner and/or journalist overstated the damage 🤷

Where else would you go mining than underground?

The streets of Paris?

Oh, you said miNing? My bad!

[–] Amuletta@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, presumably there are doors and stairwells.

Nope. Those are illegal in Mongolia. Floors too.

That's why Nightwish have never played there.

I think "inner Mongolia" is China, here

This looks AI. Inconsistent focus, scale of cats is different, lights on “rig” are inconsistent, where’s all the LAN and power cables? Who builds a bitcoin mine in a weird tunnel?

I think it's shopped and not ai - the pixel density is clearly off. espeically the light on the orange cat on the left. look at it hovering above the servers 🤣

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 9 points 3 months ago

Bottom left cat has orange legs and a black head

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

The cats are too consistent between the pictures for this to be ai I think.

[–] Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 3 months ago

its fake tho, classic bitcoin slop 😅

The most value for society created by Bitcoin yet.

The owner has a heart

Since we are talking about a cryptominer, highly unlikely.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The owner would get cancelled online by everyone, so it doesn't worth the risk.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 points 3 months ago

Has one, just not his own.

Ah, so that’s why the GTX 1070 I got off eBay was covered in 🐈 hair.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

I can sell you one if you want a card with 🐈 pee too.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

The bit cave.... Nananananana Bit man.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago

This doesn't look like a bitcoin mine to me. Just bunch of stuff that looks like a blu-ray disc case stacked in line. No cables, no wires, no fans. I call bullshit.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Fuck yeah, anarchy kitties 🤘

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mongolia was not on my card.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Inner Mongolia is technically part of China, not the independent nation of Mongolia.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Bitcoin is so funny to me.

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

SEELE cat meetup.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

Didn't china ban bitcoin mining?
