2021: Giant migration of miners from China to Russia
In 2021, Russia became the largest recipient of cryptocurrency mining devices from China after the ban on mining in the Middle Kingdom.
Russian mining hosting BitCluster received over 5,000 devices within weeks of the ban on mining in China, and the BitRiver claims that over the past months 1.8 million miners from China have been placed. The company had to reject the offer of a client who wanted to bring another million devices. Many lack space.
