Screening empty cities across Russia. One mobile crypto mining farm had hidden its setup inside a truck, authorities found, and was tapping...
Now picture a world in which cryptocurrency, rather than a black hole of investment, serves as the driving force behind the expansion of renewable energy. Sounds like a pipe dream, right? Maybe not. The recent crypto truck heist on the streets of Russia has renewed interest. This recent event in...
Russian law enforcement have recently discovered an illegal mobile cryptocurrency mining operation which had been siphoning power from a local village.

Russian authorities have shut down one of the most unique illegal cryptocurrency mining operations ever seen—one that was hidden inside a KamAZ truck—located in Buryatia. Our covert operation had been stealing power from an adjacent community—wreaking havoc on the place’s grid. This marks the sixth documented case of electricity theft...
A KamAZ truck, loaded with 95 mining rigs, illegally draining power from a 10-kilovolt line in Buryatia. This may sound like the plot line of a terrible action movie, but it’s true. And it’s a lot more than an eccentric-niche news brief. The crypto gold rush has had unintended consequences,...
The world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is full of promise. One another such rising worry, though, is illegal crypto mining — especially where energy is cheap. For the past few years Russia has experienced an upsurge of these operations often resulting in severe environmental, social and economic repercussions. This...
Alright, a portable crypto mine stuffed into a KamAZ truck in Russia. As absurd as it may seem, this bona fide proposition sounds like something pulled directly from a terrible action-movie script. Rather than write it off as unadulterated foolishness, let’s stop and think. Might this strange action provide us...
The Bitcoin mining landscape is facing some major uncertainties. A 70% drop in revenue isn’t just painful. It calls the viability of the entire ecosystem into question. Transaction fees have dropped significantly. The Bitcoin price isn’t exactly going through the roof these days and the hype around Ordinals seems to...

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, finds itself in an exciting but precarious moment. Some bullish analysts think a big rally could take its price as high as $10k. This sunny scenario is built on a few big assumptions. Technical indicators, growing institutional interest, and the potential for a full-blown altcoin season...
Okay, let's be real. Crypto's been a rollercoaster. We’ve witnessed the Lambo dreams 🚀 and the soul-crushing rug pulls 😭. Gemini – goodness, they totally fumbled the ball with the Earn program debacle. Don’t count them — and crypto — out just yet, I admonish you. I'm seeing a comeback...
The Winklevoss twins. Rowing Olympians, Facebook litigants, and now… crypto moguls? Their Gemini exchange has been around for a while, and as we head into 2025, it's time to ask: is it a safe harbor in the often-turbulent crypto seas, or just another roll of the dice? I like my...
