    That sounds like great news! Unless of course if you’re the owner of a crypto farm sucking up a limited resource. Sure glad to live in a province governed by sane people.

      Great time to check marketplaces for mining GPUs being sold off. They’re still valuable even if used at that high throughput for so long. Similar to a cars engine with highway miles vs city miles driven

        Nobody mines with GPUs any more, at least not for any significant blockchain. Bitcoin went to industrial ASICs many, many years ago and Ethereum no longer uses proof-of-work mining at all.
