It seems like this would be the best place to host a mining co-op. It is my understanding that the geothermal energy is either cheap or free for citizens there and the temperature would be ideal for devices that generate a lot of heat. Curious if there are any Icelanders on this board that are involved in a mining company. I've been mining alt-coins on a small scale the past few months, but I think instead of investing in more mining equipment, I would like to throw some coins at a legit operation in the near future. Any Icelanders here? If so, will you marry me? I want citizenship.  |

You're not the first to come up with this idea. There was an Icelander at the London Bitcoin conference who is setting up shop with a geothermic energy mining rig.

Electricity is pretty cheap but still costs, you'll be more stymied by the importation of the hw itself since we have high VAT and import tariffs + shipping. Datacentre's here get the best deal on bulk electricity prices.

I am jealous... hope that I can stay there but my family is back here so I will wait for a way to get cheap energy from sun instead.... |

If you are sending your miner for collocation, there shouldnt be an import tax levied, since the hardware doesnt change owner. In reality in most countries this is quite a battle, and you may get charged import taxes even on RMA items, that you have to claim back, but with the right paper work (read: get a specialist lawyer), it can be avoided. Its one of the things Im looking in to. |
