Canaan settles in Kazakhstan and uses 2,000 mining rigs



The mining company Canaan has set up 2,000 of its Avalon mining rigs in Kazakhstan. In June, the manufacturer announced that it would expand its mining business to Kazakhstan. Previously, the Chinese government banned many crypto activities.

Canaan CEO Nangeng Zhang shared the following:

We are integrating more industrial resources into our operations and believe that this is the business segment in which we will revitalize our mining inventory. This allows us to shield ourselves from Bitcoin volatility and ensure that our inventory is sufficient during times of market boom.

The Kazakh branch in Canaan is due to go into operation soon. More rigs are expected to arrive later this week. It is currently performing at 32,000 terahashes per second (TH / s). Canaan wants to expand this value to 1.8 exahash per second.

Kazakhstan is working on new laws for crypto mining

The country in Central Asia is currently working on new laws. In doing so, the government wants to cope with the influx of miners who have come after crypto restrictions in China. Ten days ago the media reported that the domestic energy network was bursting at the seams due to the enormous influx of prospectors.

Kazakhstan's share of Bitcoin's global hash rate has roughly doubled since May after Chinese miners began moving overseas operations.

Kazakhstan is currently struggling with severe electricity bottlenecks. These were difficult to predict in a country so rich in natural resources. The government blames the crypto miners for this. In Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, there was even a total blackout this summer.

In order to solve the problem, the national network operator KEGOC is rationing the electricity supplies to the miners. The Department of Energy proposed setting an upper limit of 100 MW for the entire country and 1 MW for all newly licensed mining facilities.

Chinese miners extract excess electricity

When the miners started operating in Kazakhstan, they used up all of the excess electricity capacity. At the beginning of November, Energy Minister Magzum Myrzagaliev told the press that Kazakhstan's electricity demand had increased steadily by 1% to 2% per year until the beginning of 2021 and then suddenly reached 8%, which was due to the mining of cryptocurrencies.

Some believe the influx of Chinese miners will help the country deal with the outdated infrastructure, reliance on coal, and other age-old problems in the power sector. Despite the energy crisis that mining caused, stakeholders like Denis Rusinovich, co-founder of the CMG Cryptocurrency Mining Group as well as the Maverick Group believe that the country has a bright future. Mainly because the government wants to support electricity generation from renewable energies.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
