A major cryptocurrency mining operation has occurred again in Turkey. A hidden facility set up in one province in the Southeast is reportedly operating by illegally drawing electricity from the power grid.



According to figures identified by authorities, this operation consumes over 9.4 million TL worth of electricity per month. Facilities that produce cryptocurrencies through illegal electricity use effectively eliminate their costs, while placing a significant burden on the energy grid.

This incident once again highlights the economic and infrastructure risks posed by unregulated mining activities.

Turkey is making big moves again, stealing electricity to mine and burning 94 million lira per month... No wonder it can run for so long --- This is why compliant mining pools are becoming more popular; illegal methods will eventually backfire --- Honestly, black market mining lowers the overall network difficulty, harming both others and oneself, and also burdens the public power grid --- Again in the southeastern region, why are there so many issues in this area --- Burning 94 million in electricity costs per month at zero cost? Dream on. It's no surprise if you're caught

Oh my god, here we go again? The miners in Turkey are really something else, directly stealing electricity from the grid to mine... 9.4 million lira in monthly electricity bills, if they had to pay all of it themselves, they probably wouldn't survive.

Coming again? These people in Turkey really treat the power grid like their own home.

Here we go again, illegal mining in Turkey is practically routine operation --- 9.4 million lira in electricity bills? These people are using the entire power grid as an ATM --- Every time they mention risk, but no one really cares, anyway, if they get caught, they just keep mining somewhere else --- Legal mining has no way out either, no wonder everyone is going underground, the system itself forces people to do this --- The key is that costs are effectively zero, who wouldn't want that? It all depends on who runs away fastest --- The pressure on the power grid is enormous, that's the real issue, not just blaming the miners --- Another "big discovery," more news next week

Turkey is at it again, stealing electricity to mine—it's incredible. These people can reduce their costs to zero and still keep mining, even causing the power grid to collapse...

Another Turkish mining operation busted. These guys are really something—cutting black electrical wires, with monthly electricity costs of 9.4 million TL. How long do they think they can hide?
