The owner has a heart - he bought them heating mats so that they could snooze in another room.

      And it cost the owner MILLIONS. Why? Because, you know. There were cats.

        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…

        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?

      Well, presumably there are doors and stairwells.

        Nope. Those are illegal in Mongolia. Floors too.

        That’s why Nightwish have never played there.

    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 🤣

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

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

    Since we are talking about a cryptominer, highly unlikely.

    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.
