Tenants use mining machines to mine Bitcoin, causing power outages in the community: 10,000 kWh per month

According to relevant media reports, on January 13, the Shuishanyuan community in Changshui Hangcheng, Kunming, Yunnan suffered a large-scale power outage.

After investigation, the cause of the power outage was really surprising. It turned out that a tenant in the community was using a mining machine to mine Bitcoin.

According to reports, the mining machines were under high load, and the southern region is at its peak of electric heating in winter, which caused the power supply lines in the community to be destroyed, resulting in water and power outages.

The property management revealed that the mining machine tenants consumed more than 10,000 kWh of electricity per month and even replaced the high-power air switches on their own.
