InnoSilicon responds: The rumor about the fire at the InnoSilicon mining farm is a rumor

This morning, foreign media reported that a mine of InnoSilicon in China caught fire, and cryptocurrency investor Dovey Wan said that the fire destroyed a mining machine that was said to be worth $10 million. In response, Digital Currency asked InnoSilicon for confirmation, and InnoSilicon officially responded that the rumor about the fire at the mine of InnoSilicon was a rumor. The so-called fire reported did not exist. Among all the data centers, only one open space under construction had a water curtain fire, but the fire was small and handled quickly, and there were no machines on site, so no losses were caused. At the same time, the official also stated that InnoSilicon did not engage in blockchain-related business. The blockchain business is carried out by Innosilicon, which is an independent company registered in Hong Kong.

At the same time, the foreign media attributed the so-called fire on the Internet to the 119-minute block interval of BTC in the early morning of August 1st, which is even more unfounded. First of all, the fire did not exist; secondly, in response to the issue of BTC's 119-minute block interval, Digital Currency has verified with researchers from the security company PeckShield in the morning, who said, "Because BTC mining is a random process, the goal is to produce a block every 10 minutes, but the actual block time may be longer or shorter than 10 minutes. The greater the deviation from 10 minutes, the smaller the probability of occurrence, but it may occasionally occur. Another possibility is that the computing power suddenly went offline in large quantities, making the block time longer. But there are only orphan blocks, which is more inclined to the first reason."
