The video documentary is about 1 year old but wondering how many of you have watched it ? Truly inspirational video for all bitcoiners.

Maybe coming out of the secret bitcoin mine and checking the weather and taking some deep breaths of fresh air would help to hear the voices asking for change.

This is a very cool video, glad I watched and it puts a visual to mining that I have not seen before.  The amount of cords are insane and the sound of the extractor fans make that a very interesting place.  Thanks for sharing!

good share..But when the Chinese govt. will start racking down Bitcoin holders, they will be in a big trouble.

Chinese government ha seven trying to segregate their banking system from Bitcoin. But other activities are permitted, including mining. One small issue, maybe not so small, is internet better China and the rest of the world is not up to optimal level.

Why would they want to do that, if it generates huge income for China? The hardware manufacturers and the miners generate income for their families and it creates jobs and it also help to use all the surplus electricity that are being generated. You can in a sense say, the Chinese government are subsidizing the Bitcoin miners in China. The political advantage is also interesting, because they can say that they dominate a large percentage of the hashing power of the Bitcoin network.

Can't believe you indeed insert such link here.  but yeah great video. The price is JUST $10 still that's the reality there.
it may take months, perhaps a year to even get to $100. that may not be fact but certainly it won't reach $400 in a year.

Ok so people are probably going to hate me for asking this, but what is the best way to get into Ethereum? It's been an altcoin that has been on my radar for a little while and it seems to be gaining a bit more steam, which is beginning to increase my interest in it.

Aside from that, the mine actually looks kind of cool. I can't imagine being there, but the people that are there certainly have dedication.

Just watched the video, thanks for sharing. Very well organized site, that's why they got to have six operational sites and really made me jealous of their achievement and also their workers since he mentioned their salary is actually high. Another cool thing it was, when he walked in, right away the sound was like being under an airplane that it's about to take off (except the echo).

What is that?
Preparation for the coming dump? :D
Congratz for your profits if you made some but that coin is becoming a hot potatoe at this price range for potential buyers.
Shilling seems to be desperately needed now to get fresh money in right?

After the dump and heavy correction I might think to get a bit.But not tnow thanks.

But they would have made enough money for their expenses by then. Its not a new mine but been running since a long time. Obviously bitcoin mining activity has therefore due to the potential halving been falling.

This was everywhere back then. Here's and example (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=949302.0)

And they're not the biggest mining operation in China... And half a year later they most likely got hit with Chinese mines using hydro power. Not sure where they're at now, it would be cool to see what's up with them a year later. I doubt they had shut down and if they did, it was probably just to move location to where power is cheaper.

Do not post this crap in the Bitcoin section.

No one here is interested in another pump and dump coin.

I wonder what the price of electricity in China is. I would guess it's along the lines of 5 cents a kilowatt or something. Does anyone know the real price?

Are these types of huge mines still profitable? If not, what are they being used for?

You can check that here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1072474.msg11469618#msg11469618). It's more or less that, some places go as far as 2/3 cents if I'm not mistaken.

I remember watching it a while back, I wonder if those people working there really do make more than the average Chinese factory worker.
This was mentioned in the documentary.

I always found boilerrooms very weird videos to place on youtube.

The video in the original post was a very intresting one tho, it is really cool to see those lights go off and all these green lil lights sparkle. You can see them making the dough.
