Interesting, another risk of centralized mining operations. They have to buy insurance and invest more in security. All overhead that individuals owning 1 ASIC each do not need.

Wonder what it was insured for.  I wouldn't put it past desperate miners to burn down their farm in order to recoup the costs they paid for their now unprofitable equipment.

It is reported above that there was no insurance (insurance is not as common in less developed parts of the world).

I am personally curious as to how much mining capacity (in terms of PH/s) was lost

Maybe it was just a data center?

Seems like it. Wondering already how Coindesk made this up:
Quote
The incident was reported in local media, but the bitcoin community started realising something was wrong before the news broke, as the disaster seemed to have caused a drop in the hash rate.

But then, it's Coindesk after all...

It wasn't a wooden shed.
It was operated by expats.

Also, please keep racist slurs out of the forum.
