Inside China it is mainly distributed: Sichuan, summer from May to October, to use cheap hydro power; winter from October to April , in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, use Coal power.
Wow, they actually use coal for power? I'm no expert on how our electrical grid is powered, but I thought most countries had done away with coal--please correct me if I'm way off base, which is quite possible.
I don't know what to make of this news either, since I don't really trust information coming out of China. What I do know is that bitcoin miners aren't likely to give up mining, and if China makes it illegal they'll move their operations to another country where it's still legal to mine. I know I've written that before, and I believe it was with respect to China as well, so I'm thinking this is probably a bunch of BS.
AT $60k+ BTC I was thinking about putting some S9 units back online.
You have cheap enough electricity where you live? I thought your state (which I won't disclose) had pretty high utility rates. Do you still mine bitcoin now and then?
