I recently read an article about three Russian scientists who were arrested at a top-secret nuclear warhead facility in Sarov for using one of Russia’s most powerful supercomputers to mine bitcoin. This is a pretty shocking story, and it raises a lot of questions about the security of these facilities and the potential for misuse of powerful computers. What do you think about this story? Do you think the scientists should have been arrested, or do you think they should have been given a warning? Do you think this could be a sign of more serious security issues at these facilities?

In mother Russia, Bitcoin mines you.
Though all things considered… I’d rather they mine Bitcoin than produce nuclear warheads
pure art incident. isnt it?
I guess being a Russian scientist doesn’t pay that well if you need to mine Bitcoin besides your day job.
What I do not mind is the thought of them trying out mining Bitcoin on that computer tho, I must admit it had to be tempting.
It would be interesting to know how much BTC they managed to mine for the $17.7k (presumably electricity cost). I imagine this BTC is now owned by Mother Russia.
And now instead of bitcoin mining the new intern is using the super computer to shitpost and farm moons instead.
Bitcoin going nuclear, very bald
“We cannot allow a Bitcoin gap!” – USA
Gotta respect the hustle
This is why there’s such doubt cast on the state of Russia’s nuclear arsenal. If these bozos we’re corrupt enough to use their facilities *fucking supercomputer* to mine bitcoin rather than for research purposes etc, who knows what other shit they’ve been neglecting to do
And why can’t we track how much they mined?
If they used $17,000 worth of electricity on a supercomputer to mine, how much did they make in BTC? In 2018 too when electricity had lower prices and mining was easier
You can’t blame them for trying
3 years in prison from 2018 at the period mentioned would take BTC to 6.5K USD.
3 years after is 2021, probably when ATH hit.
That’s true holding people.
Damn, that’s some wild shit! 😂 Imagine having access to one of Russia’s most powerful supercomputers and thinking “You know what would be a kick ass idea? Let’s mine some bitcoin” I mean, props for the audacity but holy hell talk about a risky move.
1 quadrillion calculations per second is some next level shit right there. 😂
The most russian thing to do here would be for the mining to continue under new management of whoever caught them.
In Soviet Russia Bitcoin mines you
That’s really interesting. Sounds like a Stranger Things sub-plot.
That’s an interesting story I hadn’t heard of before. As I understand it a supercomputer wouldn’t be able to mine btc any more effectively than a proper mining rig though? I don’t think supercomputers have much gpu power… but I don’t know enough about it tbh
That’s fucking hilarious – if they’d let it run it’d have paid for the computer 100x over
Good old Russia, 100% accuracy when aiming at their own foot
Would watch a movie on this.
That’s wasn’t very smart of them considering they were scientist.
Amazing story, and actually surprising it became public as it’s rather embarrassing. That’s one of the more epic Bitcoin mining setups I’ve ever heard of. That, and mining on a Nintendo Gameboy.
Imagine having a supercomputer with free electricity and NOT MINING crypto…
Given the endemic nature of corruption in the russian military, this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
Still interesting, though. I wonder how many coins they were able to mine before getting caught. Even if it is a supercomputer, the exact arcitecture might not make it super efficient for the types of calculation bitcoin needs, as im pretty sure supercomputers mainly rely on CPUs.
