Energy workers and law enforcement found another illegal mining farm with 12 devices for cryptocurrency mining in the village of Unzukul.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", since the beginning of the year, 52 illegal mining farms have been discovered in Dagestan, with 958 devices for cryptocurrency mining seized. On November 4, another illegal mining farm with seven devices was found in the village of Unzukul.

Energy workers, together with law enforcement representatives, conducted another inspection in the village of Unzukul and found an illegal mining farm at one of the sites, writes on November 9, RIA "Dagestan", citing the head of the Gumbetovskaya RES branch of "Dagenegro", Mukhtarakhamed Murtazaev.

12 specialized devices for cryptocurrency mining were found, each with a power of about 3.5 kW. The total identified power thus exceeds 40 kW. The equipment has been seized.

Recall that in December 2024, the head of Dagestan Sergey Melikov signed an appeal to the government of Russia requesting a ban on cryptocurrency mining in the republic due to the load on the power grid. The Russian government introduced a complete ban on mining from 2025 until March 15, 2031, which is also implemented in Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia, and Chechnya.
