UK police have just investigated what they thought was the imaginable site of a hash farm and, in doing so, made an unexpected discovery: an illegal bitcoin mine.
For those of you who don’t know, a bitcoin mine is a knowledge medium that transacts illicit bitcoins infrequently. This bitcoin mine was discovered on the outskirts of Birmingham in a commercial area. The explanation of why it was confused with the illicit cultivation of hashish is because they were stealing a lot of electrical energy and it was seen that the place generated a lot of heat. After the first notice of a location that generated a lot of heat. heat, the police searched on May 18 in the hope of detecting an illegal cultivation of hashish. They were also keeping watch and saw many other people visiting the unit at other times of the day. They also observed wiring and ventilation ducts, which provided more help than the internal expansion that ventilated to aid the expansion of the plant, and during the surveillance, the police detected a marked tendency and showed symptoms that made them that anything had been unchained. go ahead. They called the heat, the vents and the presence of other people opening in “classic symptoms” of a hash farm. A police drone was used to keep an eye on things, so after all those symptoms, the police were very shocked despite all the entry and locating a hundred computers and no hash lines.
“This is not what we expected, ” said Sandwell’s police sergeant. Jennifer Griffin said in a statement, ‘I had all the characteristics of a hash-growing operation and I think it’s just the moment when mine of this kind we found in the West Midlands’.
Without an overly technical adjustment (after all, we are hash experts, not bitcoin experts), miners use computers to solve complex equations that drive a Bitcoin transaction. Then the “miners” are paid for their efforts, also in virtual currency. able to manage the amount of force needed. Since Bitcoin has a carbon footprint that can be comparable to that of New Zealand, it takes more than a constant connection or WiFi for something like this to work. Considered illegal in the UK “I sense that cryptocurrency mining is not illegal in itself, but obviously the electricity from the electricity grid comes from its power supply,” Griffin said.
So far computer devices have been seized to prevent the operation, but to date no arrests have been made and it may only be a matter of time before bitcoin mining and cryptocurrency mining in general are banned worldwide. prohibit it, blaming the force used to extract bitcoin from various power outages that occurred in Iranian cities.
Iran is also a region where a giant amount of bitcoin mining is positioned: about 4. 5% of all mining activities in the world were positioned there between January and April this year, making it one of the ten most sensitive countries in the world for mining. . China came first. But it turns out that other people around the world are doing it, and it’s not a remote problem, China also bans cryptocurrency mining and closes those that are operational lately.
It turns out that cryptocurrencies can be suppressed in the UK and, unfortunately, hash crops are still on the list of police targets in this non-legal country. Hopefully more positive adjustments soon!
