Spanish Police Raid Suburban House Allegedly Running Illegal Crypto Operation, Seize Over 100 Miners
Spain’s National Police say they have dismantled an alleged illegal cryptocurrency mining operation that was being run from a residential property.
A tweet from Spain’s National Police account says that over 100 machines were being used in the crypto mining operation in the Spanish city of Toledo.
Did they do bitcoin mining or GPU mining? If Bitcoin had been mining, there would have been a lot of sound pollution from such a large firm, nowhere is it mentioned whether they used soundproof rooms. So, how did they hide their farm from noise production?
Is mining Bitcoin banned in Spain? I have never heard any news that the Spanish government has banned Bitcoin.
I think they were doing Graphics mining, that's why they could able to be hidden easily.
Cryptocurrency is not banned in Spain, nor crypto mining. But those miners are accused cause they had been using illegal electrical lines for mining.
Not only in the case of mining, but unscrupulous individuals also use stealth electrical connections to avoid power consumption in various cases. Many times they take these illegal electrical connections by abusing political power.
By the way, Miming Bitcoin is ok in Spain, and it is considered as the same laws as barter transactions.
