加密貨幣礦工在俄羅斯能源限制區面臨重大打擊

俄羅斯正在採取行動，禁止在能源受限地區進行加密貨幣開採，理由是嚴重的電力短缺可能會危及 2030 年之前的長期穩定。

Russian authorities are preparing to ban cryptocurrency mining in regions facing energy shortages, a move that could significantly impact the country's crypto sector.

俄羅斯當局正準備禁止在面臨能源短缺的地區進行加密貨幣開採，此舉可能對該國的加密貨幣產業產生重大影響。

According to a report by Tass, Deputy Energy Minister Yevgeny Grabchak stated at the RBC Tech forum in Moscow that digital currency mining will be prohibited at the state level in several Russian regions due to energy supply challenges.

根據塔斯社報道，能源部副部長葉夫根尼·格拉布恰克 (Yevgeny Grabchak) 在莫斯科舉行的 RBC 科技論壇上表示，由於能源供應挑戰，俄羅斯多個地區將在國家層面禁止數位貨幣挖礦。

“If we say that mining is the forerunner of digitalization, then mining will soon be banned at the state level in some regions,” Grabchak said.

「如果說挖礦是數位化的先驅，那麼一些地區很快就會在國家層級禁止挖礦，」Grabchak 說。

The deputy minister explained that regions facing power shortages, including the Far East, southwestern Siberia, and the South, cannot sustain “large capacities to anyone in the long term until 2030.”

這位副部長解釋說，面臨電力短缺的地區，包括遠東、西伯利亞西南部和南部地區，「從長遠來看，到2030年之前都無法維持大容量電力」。

“We will not be able to provide large capacities to anyone in the Far East, southwestern Siberia, and the South in the long term until 2030. These are shortage zones, and we need to provide guaranteed power supply to the population, industry, and social sphere,” Grabchak added.

「從長遠來看，到2030年，我們將無法為遠東、西伯利亞西南部和南部地區的任何人提供大容量電力。這些都是電力短缺地區，我們需要為人口、工業和能源提供有保障的電力供應。

The upcoming restrictions follow a new law signed by President Vladimir Putin, which will take effect on Nov. 1. The law, published last week, empowers the Russian government to restrict digital currency mining in specific regions or territories and to “determine the procedure and cases for introducing such restrictions.”

即將出台的限制措施是在總統弗拉基米爾·普丁簽署的一項新法律之後出台的，該法律將於11 月1 日生效。數位貨幣開採，並“確定程序和引入此類限制的案例。”

The legislation also allows for the prohibition of participation in mining pools, which are specialized servers designed to distribute the workload of crypto mining among participants. According to Grabchak, such measures are crucial in regions with energy limitations.

該立法還允許禁止參與礦池，礦池是專門的伺服器，旨在在參與者之間分配加密貨幣挖礦的工作量。 Grabchak 表示，此類措施對於能源有限的地區至關重要。

“We are talking about the prohibition of participation in mining pools, which is critical for shortage zones,” the deputy minister said.

「我們正在討論禁止參與礦池，這對於短缺地區至關重要，」副部長說。

In August, Putin signed legislation introducing controlled frameworks for cryptocurrency in international transactions, with the Bank of Russia overseeing pilot projects that require approvals from the Finance Ministry, Federal Security Service, and Rosfinmonitoring.

8 月，普丁簽署了一項立法，在國際交易中引入加密貨幣受控框架，俄羅斯央行負責監督試點項目，這些項目需要得到財政部、聯邦安全局和 Rosfinmonitoring 的批准。

Bitriver’s CEO recently stated that the new mining law could help propel Russia's bitcoin mining industry to reach U.S. levels within two to three years.

Bitriver的執行長最近表示，新的採礦法可能有助於推動俄羅斯的比特幣採礦業在兩到三年內達到美國的水平。
