Iran’s power grid is currently being stress-tested by a bunch of crypto miners who think they’re playing a game of electrical hide-and-seek. Spoiler: they’re losing. Over 95% of the 427,000 devices running rampant are basically electricity bandits, and the grid is screaming for backup. 🤷♂️⚡
The CEO of the Tehran Province Electricity Distribution Company, Akbar Hasan Beklou, has declared war on these rogue miners. His dramatic words: “We’ve got a crisis on our hands, and it’s all because of people who think stealing electricity is a hobby.” 🚨
These miners are so sneaky, they’ve turned Iran into a crypto hotspot-ranked fourth globally! But let’s be real, it’s less “hotspot” and more “illegal operation wonderland.” 😂
Why? Because cheap electricity is basically an open invitation for anyone with a GPU and a death wish for the grid. They’re disguising mining farms as factories, which is about as convincing as a toaster claiming it’s a bakery. 🍞💻
The Great Iranian Crypto Heist: Mining in Style (But Not Legally) 🕵️♂️💰
Miners are guzzling 1,400 megawatts of stolen power at all hours-enough to power 10,000 homes. Meanwhile, regular citizens are left in the dark, quite literally. The grid’s like, “I’m not mad, I’m just… emotionally unavailable.” 🙃
Tehran Province is now the Wild West of crypto crime, with 104 illegal farms busted so far in 2011. Cities like Pakdasht and Malard are hotspots for miners hiding in tunnels and fake industrial units. It’s like a Bond villain lair, but with more fans and less drama. 🕳️
Government’s Desperate Moves: Destroying Farms & Bribing Tips 🧨💸
The government is going full Rambo on these operations, with raid teams and rewards for citizens who spill the tea on illegal miners. Beklou says, “This isn’t just stealing-it’s a national security threat!” (He also might’ve sworn, but we’re keeping it G-rated.)
Despite all the seizures, the miners keep coming. Why? Because the profit margins are better than a lottery win, and the electricity rates are basically free. The grid is like, “I give up,” while the government’s like, “We’re not done yet!” 😩💪
