SP-T, did the owner contact you regarding this? :

What is the source of fire? All 5MW miners burned down. I believe he said they're all SP30

Looks like an amateurish setup for one just a few things i see :

-horrible cabling work - i would not be surprised if the cables didnt catch fire first and all that stacked rubber just fed the fire.
-machines are stacked on top of each other generating even more heat : for that many machines you should use real racks with the proper spacing btw units
-where the Fk is the fire suppression units or at least sprinklers up top, i see no evidence of the duct work you would need to have for a proper halon or water
suppression system
-looking at the floor all i can say is no no no.
-if you look some of the units are facing the opposite direction from the others which indicates they were not doing any kind of venting of all the heat those units generate via some sort of turbine system.

these units generate a ton of heat bra heck my dryer went and out i don't miss it my SP30 drys all my cloths faster than my dryer lol.

No way anyone would insure that much equipment with a setup like they better start begging for SP30 coupons from SP TECH or call it a total loss.

I would have paid money to see all that BTC flare up though I just hope no one died

Incredible new banking system has the Feds rattled...

Dear XXXXX@XXXXX.org,

I haven't seen anything like this before�

An entirely new way to bank is exploding around the world.

It's completely independent of the government and the central banking system.

Best of all its being run entirely by ordinary people just like you...

I call it the "underground banking system <http://dearreload.info/1c8a09ee7ad41d3066e280547f67_97130754-010101010001/C/l=vglce/b=vby/v=D1C54C28/1797> ."

As you can imagine, Wall Street, the Fed and Congress are freaking out at the benefits this is offering people.

Not only are people getting an unprecedented level of privacy and security� many who have stuck with it had the opportunity to make as much as 5,000% on their investment.

One U.S. senator even asked if this might "replace the Swiss Bank account."

The truth is� it could be much bigger.

You need to see this before they try to shut it down.

Click here now to learn how to take advantage of this incredible new banking system. <http://dearreload.info/1c8a09ee7ad41d3066e280547f67_97130754-010101010001/C/u=imjms/p=rel/i=7D9B7C63/8030>

It was not long before the girl's heart had been wholly won. Transported by her emotion, she met the caresses of her lover with those as unrestrained as his. Her very innocence deprived her of the protection which older women would have had. All was given freely, and even wildly, by Heloise; and all was taken by Abelard, who afterward himself declared: "The pleasure of teaching her to love surpassed the delightful fragrance of all the perfumes in the world." Yet these two could not always live in a paradise which was entirely their own. The world of Paris took notice of their close association. Some poems written to Heloise by Abelard, as if in letters of fire, were found and shown to Fulbert, who, until this time, had suspected nothing. Angrily he ordered Abelard to leave his house. He forbade his niece to see her lover any more. But the two could not be separated; and, indeed, there was good reason why they should still cling together. Secretly Heloise left her uncle's house and fled through the narrow lanes of Paris to the dwelling of Abelard's sister, Denyse, where Abelard himself was living. There, presently, the young girl gave birth to a son, who was named Astrolabe, after an instrument used by astronomers, since both the father and the mother felt that the offspring of so great a love should have no ordinary name. Fulbert was furious, and rightly so. His hospitality had been outraged and his niece dishonored. He insisted that the pair should at once be married. Here was revealed a certain weakness in the character of Abelard. He consented to the marriage, but insisted that it should be kept an utter secret. Oddly enough, it was Heloise herself who objected to becoming the wife of the man she loved. Unselfishness could go no farther. She saw that, were he to marry her, his advancement in the Church would be almost impossible; for, while the very minor clergy sometimes married in spite of the papal bulls, matrimony was becoming a fatal bar to ecclesiastical promotion. And so Heloise pleaded pitifully, both with her uncle and with Abelard, that there should be no marriage. She would rather bear all manner of disgrace than stand in the way of Abelard's advancement. He has himself given some of the words in which she pleaded with him:

Hammerite: Mar 9, 2007; And you don't remember what I said here, either, but it was pompous and stupid.; Jade Ear Joe

they must have had people involved in setting that thing up who had some limited expertise in data centre operation, like enough to know how to wire poo poo together but not competent enough that the incredibly unsafe and hacky way they were doing things (we don't need cooling or fire suppression systems, this is the technology of the future!) rang alarm bells

i think that bitcoin ventures attract people of that type - people who know a bit about a thing but not enough to really do everything fully correct. because of the general principle that if you properly know what you are doing (in wiring a data centre/setting up a website that handles money/etc), you're probably able to see why bitcoins are a bad idea, or at least perceptive enough to see that they won't go anywhere with the community around them as it is.
