Gazprom Neft announces alliance with BitRiver
This was announced by the team of BitRiver in a statement released yesterday, in which they indicate that the company is committed to providing the infrastructure for the data centers, while the company is committed to providing the infrastructure for the data centers. Gazprom Neft will provide the necessary energy to ensure operations. The idea is to build cryptomining stations near new oil fields on Russian territory.
It is expected that this alliance between BitRiver y Gazprom Neft provide cryptocurrency mining power plants with an intensive flow of electrical energy, producing up to 2 gigawatts to fully guarantee the mining of cryptocurrencies based on Proof-of-Work poW is a type of consensus algorithm that rewards validators according to the amount of computational power they have expended. (PoW).
In this regard, the CEO of BitRiver, Igor Runets, commented:
“Over the next two years, BitRiver intends to implement projects to create its own data centers for energy-intensive computing with scale power of up to 2 [gigawatts], including [associated oil gas], which will also provide high and stable power consumption.”
Cryptocurrencies and mining in Russia
The announcement of this alliance comes in the midst of a particularly complicated moment for Russia, since due to the armed incursion that the country is promoting in Ukrainian territory, the nation is exploring financing mechanisms that could bring new income after the international sanctions imposed by countries, organizations and companies of high caliber.
The announcement also comes at a complex time for cryptocurrencies within the Soviet country, as the government is pushing for these to be properly regulated regulation is when something is controlled by a specific set of rules. for the reasons outlined above, while theBanco Central The national government is adamant in prohibiting its commercialization and use because of the problems it would pose to the local economy.
From the international level, many regulators are concerned about whether cryptocurrencies could work as a mechanism for the Russian government to evade sanctions against it. However, several reports claim that the transparency and traceability of operations, coupled with the low liquidity how easily a cryptocurrency can be bought and sold without impacting the overall market price. of the market an area or arena, online or offline, in which commercial dealings are conducted. compared to other lines of business, would not allow the nation to see there a mechanism to address a place where cryptocurrency can be sent to and from, in the form of a string of letters and numbers. its current situation.
Profitability of Cryptocurrency Mining
Another detail pointed out by experts and analysts has to do with the profitability of cryptocurrency mining based on PoW, especially at a time when most projects are implementing different mechanisms in order to employ more environmentally friendly models.
For now, the main exponent that operates under the PoW es Bitcoin, currency currency is a medium of exchange that defines value. that after the fall of the market would be seeing a very dark outlook for those who perform mining operations. Analysts say that with a BTC que ronda los USD $20.000 no sería rentable costear la minería en la actualidad, en especial para quienes realizan estas operaciones a baja y mediana escala.
In this regard, an analysis presented by the team of CryptoRank expone:
“Due to a significant drop in the price of BTC in recent months, mining a process where blocks are added to a blockchain, verifying transactions. It is also the process through which new bitcoin or some altcoins are created. has become less profitable. For some Bitcoin miners, it might not even be profitable at this point.”
