Nuclear Facility with Super Computer used to Mine Bitcoint got busted!

Russians Detained After Attempt To Mine Bitcoin At Nuclear Facility.
A nuclear facility used by the engineers is located in the city of Sarov. An alarm has triggered the authorities when they could even start to mine bitcoins. Further info could be found here.  http://www.kitco.com/news/2018-02-12/Russians-Detained-After-Attempt-To-Mine-Bitcoin-At-Secret-Nuclear-Facility.html

But by the way, does any of you have attempted using supercomputer in mining? How the hash rate?

what an idiot

i mean i can get someone mining at work with their work computer in a shitty company, even a government institute or something like that but to mine in top secret facility and doing it with a super computer which is not there for anyone to access at anytime they want, is just dumb.
all your activities are monitored 24/7 in such facilities and there is even more monitor on a super computer's usage!

Russians Detained After Attempt To Mine Bitcoin At Nuclear Facility.
The nuclear facility used by the engineers is located in the city of Sarov, which was a top-secret location known for the development of the Soviet Union’s very first atomic bomb. But “Their activities were stopped in time,” before they could even mine bitcoin because an alarm is triggered when the computer is about to connect to the internet.  Further info could be found here.  http://www.kitco.com/news/2018-02-12/Russians-Detained-After-Attempt-To-Mine-Bitcoin-At-Secret-Nuclear-Facility.html

Never tried using a super computer because it will cost you a lot of money (millions) to build one and the maintenance will surely drain your bank account but sure it can mine cryptocurrency faster because it can produce more hash rate. Those scientists are bunch of idiots and don't have any idea what they are doing, good thing they get arrested and didn't able to mine a single Bitcoin. If they are really smart people I would rather take advantage of free access of electricity in that facility and buy my own mining hardware because that supercomputer was not supposed to be connected to the internet to prevent intrusion or any important data being hacked.

Believe it or not, but a supercomputer is way slower than mining with ASICs. These ASIC chips are specifically developed to target the math needed to solve these complex algorithms. This is also not the first time someone tried this with the so-called supercomputers, it was done before and they failed miserably.

When you want maximum results, you use specialized tools. ASIC chips was developed specifically for Crypto currency mining and will give you much better results than the most powerful computer in this world.

True Bitcoinmaniacs. They are probably going to jail now. Sometimes I'm surprised - what do people even think about?

And ASICs are usign way less juice compared to supercomputers Anyway, I don't catch the point, the supercomputer was a part of the nuclear power plant, or the nuclear power plant was needed to feed the supercomputer with energy?
What I always quote in connection with russia and bitcoin that last year one of their bigger cities was trying to invite the chinese miners, offered to re-open their old dodgy nuclear power plant to feed the ASICs farms and the climate is so cold that the airco is not needed to run the mining farms, it's enough to open the windows
