Police in Malaysia steamrolled 1,069 bitcoin mining devices seized in raids on cryptocurrency miners earlier this year.
After laying out the devices in a precinct car park, local authorities destroyed the rectangular grey boxes by running over them with a large orange steamroller, as seen in footage posted online by local news site
The devices were application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) built for the express purpose of completing proof-of-work tasks needed to find blocks in cryptocurrency networks like bitcoin.
