Mining farms notice

In the past few days, a couple of our mining farms have been affected by unfortunate circumstances that were beyond our control. One of our main farms is located near a hydroelectric power station, and due to a fire in the nearby woods, the fiber-optic cable connecting the farm to the internet was damaged beyond repair. We have already set up a satellite internet connection in its place, and this farm is already back to normal. This loss of connectivity is the reason for Antpool's sudden loss of hashpower several days ago.

Another one of our farms (a small one) experienced a short circuit in the electrical transformer on site. Fewer than 2PH/s of hashrate were affected by this. Repairing this transformer could take more than a week. Users with mining contracts on Hashnest.com who have incurred any losses because of these two issues will be compensated by Hashnest and Bitmain.
