TRX Reddit posts show abandoned bitcoin mining hardware after operation went bankrupt
A Reddit post on r/Bitcoin describes a bitcoin mining operation that rented space on a farm, became unprofitable, went bankrupt, and left behind equipment including Antminer S19 units and ASIC boards. The poster says the land owner accepted the mess voluntarily and is breaking the equipment down for scrap value, and asks whether a better price exists above scrap value. A second post on r/CryptoCurrency shares the same title and asks how much the hardware would cost, calling it corporation-level volume.
