1. Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on matters related to the virtual currency "mining" electricity differential tariff policy, requiring virtual currency "mining" electricity differential tariff, the tariff rate of 0.50 yuan / KWH. Previously, Hainan and Inner Mongolia have notified the price increase standard, Inner Mongolia price increase standard for 1 yuan per KWH, Hainan for price increase standard for 0.8 yuan / KWH. 2. The NuMiner bitcoin miner NM440, which previously claimed to generates 440 terahashes per second (TH/s) of hashrate, and power efficiency of 20.2 joules per terahash (J/TH), had a lot of false marketing and was suspected of using fake news to inflate its share price. NuMiner also claimed it is working “in coordination with” TSMC, the world’s biggest chipmaker; electronics manufacturer Foxconn; and fabless chip designer Xilinx. TSMC said that NuMiner “is not a direct customer.” Xilinx said: “To the best of our knowledge, NuMiner has only purchased five computer cards through one of our distributors.” N NuMiner even stole the promotional photo from the AI hardware company Cerebras.(CoinDesk) 3. According to Caixin, Nvidia's OEM and other business reported revenue of $192 million for the quarter, up 25% year-over-year and down 18% sequentially. The year-over-year decline came mainly from a decline in shipments of mining-specific processor CMPs. For the fiscal quarter, CMP business revenue was just $24 million, down more than 75 percent sequentially from $105 million in the fiscal third quarter. "The continued instability in the cryptocurrency market has impacted industry demand for NVIDIA products." Kress said. in fiscal year 2022, Nvidia CMP total revenue of only $550 million, far short of the company's previous expectations. 4. MineXMR, the largest Monero mining pool, is relatively close to controlling more than half of the network’s hash rate. If it were to reach such a level, it would theoretically be able to carry out a 51% attack. Monero mining pool MineXMR now controls 44% of the privacy coin’s hash rate. Some Monero proponents have raised alarm over the situation and called on miners to deploy their hash power on other pools to reduce MineXMR’s hash rate control. MineXMR controls almost twice as much mining power as the second and third largest Monero pools combined. (TheBlock) 5. According to iz.ru, the Russian Ministry of Economy has proposed to allow mining in regions with a steady surplus of electricity generation, which would eliminate the risk of inadequate power supply to housing, social facilities and reduce commercial tariffs with taxes based on their operating profits. The current mining legislation regulation is also supported by the Ministry of Energy, but opposed by the Central Bank, saying that mining of cryptocurrencies is contrary to the goal of achieving carbon neutrality. 6.

Five members of the Georgia House of Representatives have introduced a bill that would exempt local crypto miners from paying sales and use tax. The proposed bill is the latest in the series of state-level measures aiming to encourage crypto miners to set up shop. In January, Illinois lawmakers introduced a bill which would extend tax incentives for data centers engaged in crypto mining. Kentucky proposed similar legislation in March 2021. Georgia is expected to have 56,000 Bitmain miners operating in the state by October as part of an agreement with the mining firm, ISW Holdings, and Bit5iv.
