Mining farm or new car: the price of mining equipment is rising in Belarus

Last December, the President of Belarus signed a decree on the development of the digital economy, which legalized cryptocurrency exchanges and zeroed out taxes for miners. This provoked a real cryptocurrency boom in the country, against the backdrop of which sellers of equipment for the extraction of digital currencies began to raise their prices everywhere.

As for the sale of such equipment itself, it is legal. The only caveat is only with regard to the import of equipment into the country, since this requires paying a duty.

In this regard, Belarusian miners are looking for where to buy similar equipment cheaper and go to sites selling used equipment, where you can find more and more advertisements for the sale of cryptocurrency farms (both new and used), homemade frames for them, as well as offers of assistance in assembling and setting up the equipment.

On average, the cheapest “gray” mining farm can be purchased from 3 to 5 thousand rubles. The price of the most expensive cryptocurrency mining farm competes with the price of a new car in the budget segment - more than 20 thousand rubles. In December, the most expensive farm could be purchased for 14 thousand rubles, which is equivalent to $7,000. 

The cost of an average farm will be about 10,000 rubles. So, judging by a similar offer from a seller from Mogilev, the buyer receives new equipment with a guarantee. “The farm is fully configured and works without freezes,” adds the author.

Not only computer scientists can make money from selling such equipment. Those who own carpentry tools offer frames for mining farms at prices ranging from 20 to 40 thousand rubles. In addition, craftsmen can “add a riser, a start button, a power supply synchronizer for a fee.”

Recall that representatives of one of the Russian companies announced that plan to build a plant producing mining equipmentin the Great Economic Zone stone" in Belarus.

Whether this will affect the current situation is still unknown. We follow the news.
