Mining Bitcoin to be more difficult in Quebec

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Government in the Canadian provence of Quebec warned that there won’t be cheap power available for every company that wants to set up shop in the province and suggested it may set a higher tariff for cryptocurrency miners due to the Premier’s concerns that those companies add no value to the province’s economy. Premier also added that he’s open to companies that would help create “a real ecosystem or a real technological transformation centered on blockchain,” even if they use cryptocurrency to finance their project.
