Hi,
Woke up this morning to the fire alarm and couldn't understand what it was :/
When i then walked downstairs to my miners black smoke came out from the door.
Lost ~15 BTC worth of mining hardware and have to restore the room again.
Those cubes are not safe at all !!! the funny thing is that the fuses and case is all that survived!
Luckily my last antminer hasn't arrived yet!!
so back to the old days without any mining equipment.
Probably will quit mining after this experience or move it outside in a box.
The funny thing is i just got new hardware and its all gone
Just wanted to share my story to warn people that mining is not the safest thing to do in your basement!!
Make sure that you have your cables managed and proper cooling!!! I personally thought that i had done a good job at this, however was proven wrong today.
Time to move on!! was kind of lucky im going on holiday in a few days and had planed to let them run!!
If you feel generous and want to help me build it up again:
Thanks,
JT
(mod note: removed bitcoin address, no begging)
EDIT:
This threat has become a place of sharing your experience on how to prevent accidents like fire.
Fell free to share your experiences with all of us !
Thanks,
JT
