The OP's post below is categorically ridiculous and mischaracterizing Iran's mining economy. There has been *very little* actual reporting about mining in Iran, most of which has come through us at @blockspace via @AsILayHodling Most mining in Iran is at the fringes and unsanctioned. It's a financial lifeline for the citizens of Iran and not on behalf of the nation-state. The estimated size is ~2GW, under 10% of the network.(cbspears ◉)
