As Marshall Long reported on Twitter(Marshall Long), one of the first Bitcoin miners, a fire is raging at the Innosilicon mining center. There are few details, but the video above shows that the devices work even during a fire. As Dovey Wan, a partner at the cryptocurrency company Primitive Ventures, said, $10 million worth of equipment was damaged in the fire.

Note that the Innosilicon company is still silent. But commentators on social networks immediately linked the drop in bitcoin hash with a fire at the company's facilities.
