Fortunately for the Russians, mining has been already been legal there, though I didn't know about Russia being a leading producer of electricity. Might be really profitable to mine there, but I have no idea on how much do they have to pay for the taxes(if they do pay taxes).
Wait, no. I meant Uzbekistan lol. Sorry if that was unclear, I should have snipped the quote. I'd rather not comment on Russia, but all the fence sitting around cryptocurrencies in general just makes me believe they'd rather take the China route. I'd love to be proven wrong though!
