Chinese authorities demand to shut down BTC.TOP mining farm due to coronavirus

Police forced one of the largest mining farms in the BTC.TOP pool to shut down, said Jiang Zhuoer, the company CEO. According to him, on February 4, law enforcement officers arrived at one of the farms in a remote suburb, and ordered it to shut down production. At the moment, the equipment continues to work.

“Epidemic prevention measures in some places is already a mess. I have a mine in a remote suburb. The police came and forced all the mining authorities to shut down,” Jiang said.

He further added that maintenance personnel had been living on the facility since the Spring Festival and there are no new arrivals. BTC.TOP CEO is concerned that these measures will also affect other mining pools of the company.
