IPCRESS posted:There a lot of crossover between buttcoin and grow ops? My favorite Bitcoin photo was the guy who kept tripping the circuit breaker feeding his mining rigs, so he had this large box fan blowing right onto his circuit breaker panel to try and cool it down. There were also some post on BitcoinTalk where people who had their 15A or 20A breakers tripping being told they could potentially just replace them with 30A breakers. Fortunately saner heads there explained that the current rating keeps the wires in the walls from catching on fire.

The natural end-state of a bitcoin mine is walls-on-fire. Why would you try to stop natural selection?

Sappo569 posted:Can't remember what thread it was posted in, but there was an interview with one of the guys running a bitcoin warehouse in china There was also a series of photos that showed the power supply at this mining operation - it looked like they brought a massive transformer secondary (low voltage, high current) into the building on open exposed copper busbars - those went to large low-voltage circuit breakers, and then to smaller (still exposed) busbars that were tapped off to power individual racks. The voltage was probably 240/400V three phase. I recall some of the busbars in the area where they split into the molded-case circuit breakers being exposed, where you could potentially touch energized components. That's definitely a problem, as for the exposed overhead busbars, those exist elsewhere like for cranes in a large building, but I think there are strict height and installation requirements.

A large industrial customer (paying a fraction of a residential customer) like a steel mill can burn through $80k in one night, monthly bills well into the millions of dollars. Still $80k worth is a lot of power. Hope that the breaker's off in that cabinet, or the guy should be wearing PPE. (Our cabinets with 208V, 240V, or 480V breakers like that all have interlocks so you cannot open the cabinet without switching off the breaker. Unless you have a screwdriver and know how the defeater on the switching mechanism works. Or you open the door up and then switch the power back on.)

Still $80k worth is a lot of power. Bitcoin just confuses the gently caress out of me. People are burning through massive amounts of resources in the form of hardware and electricity (creating pollution in the process) in order to run calculations that grant them specific cryptographic keys, which some random nerds with no backing at all have decided are worth something in the real world, despite them being completely useless for anything other than representing that same cryptographic key. And as we all know, it is apparently completely impossible to convert your bitcoins into actual money at anything even close to the advertised conversion rate. That is if you don't lose all of your bitcoins due to fraud and massive rampant incompetence. How anyone could ever consider this a viable currency, I have no idea. It hurts my brain to think about it.

Modest Mao posted:does China or Korea have OSHA? I'm betting no I work in an industry that does training, so I can actually answer this! For the most part, gently caress no. While many nations have equivalent standards and organizations to OSHA and ANSI in the United States, they're not necessarily as stringent or commonly followed as the American standards. At the company I work for, many clients are companies from nations like Peru, Trinidad & Tobago, Chile, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, etc. They want training to OSHA standards because they either lack the necessary regulations and training domestically or they think that OSHA standards are superior and want to follow them independently. However, we also notably lack countries like China on our training roster. Looking at the state of workers' rights and conditions there, you can probably guess why they're not clamoring to pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for training.

Building manager somehow never found out. He had 100 foot extension cables running through the drop ceiling from all sides of the building. The server racks were topped with bigger 30A miners, stacked to the ceiling.
