What? Are people actually paying 350$ per month on electricity in some countries? That's a killer bill I would rather so build inverter and solar panels, in my country electricity costs around 15$ to 25$ per month
No, not for the electricity, but in order to be able to "work". In Spain, if you want to work as a freelance, or have a little business (and crypto mining is now considered little business by the tax agency) you have to pay this monthly bill of almost €300 (more than $350). You can always do it illegally, but the fines are quite high also.
Electricity and equipment are different expenses, not included in the one above.
I don't know any other country where this happens, but it is good to remember to check local laws before starting, just in case.
That's crazy honestly, what if my rig can only do 50$ per month will I have to pay 350$ every month? It doesn't make sense, the billing should be based on what miners are earning, I'm glad I'm not living in such country
