Iran’s Ministry of Energy has changed certain crypto mining regulations to ease access to renewable power for entities authorized to mint digital currencies in the Islamic Republic. Licensed miners will now be able to purchase electricity produced from renewable sources from across the country at lower rates.

Until now, mining enterprises could only sign contracts with renewable power plants located in the same province, pointed out Mohammad Khodadadi, an official at the Iran Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution Company (Tavanir). Iranian firms mining legally with clean energy will not be charged the regular transmission fees for using the country’s electricity network.

Tavanir vowed to impose severe measures against unlicensed cryptocurrency miners, raising fines for illegal mining activities by 400%. According to official data released in May, the Iranian government had identified and closed down almost 7,000 facilities minting digital coins outside the law.（Bitcoin.com）

The data shows that ETC has often seen large increases in the time around past Ether upgrades, such as during the Ether Berlin hard fork upgrade in April 2021.

"Ethereum's mining network is made up of two types of hardware: ASICs and GPUs," Messari's Sami Kasab said in a research report. "The problem with ASICs is that they can't be repurposed for different applications besides mining ETH. Ethereum Classic is the only other PoW coin that can be mined with an ETH ASIC, since its hashing algorithm is compatible with ETH's algorithm."（CoinDesk）
