Mining shouldn't be illegal in anywhere in the world.
It is like saying earning money (in commodities
) is illegal.
yeah, it shouldnt be illegal (and probably isnt) but you need to realise how that doesnt mean you can have a mining operation without paying your taxes.
in most counties, every form of profit also means a definite tax obligation, and state will most likely charge you for tax evasion if dont comply.
