Taiwanese newspaper Liberty Times Net reported that two people shot at a bitcoin miner after he refused to honor their original contract. On April 14, suspects Gao Kitang and Cheng Yuming shot at Wu Nan (nickname "milk") in Banqiao District, Xinbei City
According to their agreement, Gao and Cheng, members of the Freshwater gang, collected 47 million New Taiwan dollars and instructed Wu to invest it in bitcoin mining. Wu had to give them the profits, which became impossible to obtain after China closed the exchanges and banned ICOs. Once the argument got out of control, both gangsters pulled out their guns and shot Wu seven times.
Many people now hire miners and then split the profits. Freelance mining is in demand, although most prefer to join mining pools.
The People's Bank of China published a report stating that the country intends to ban cryptocurrency mining in the future. China will also monitor the efficient use of the country's vast amount of mining energy. Cryptocurrency companies such as Bitmain are moving their operations to more digital currency-friendly countries. The Bitmain exchange has moved its operations to the US and Switzerland.
Cryptocurrency mining company BTC.TOP has moved its operations to Canada due to the country's politics, stability and cost savings. Other Chinese companies are also moving their operations to other countries.
