Bitcoin mining here in Africa, Angola, is a crime.

As you probably know, I’m Flávio. I’ve been in this group for less than four days, and my situation has already changed. I thought it would be good to share this to also hear your opinions about our country.

Here in Angola, Bitcoin mining is a crime that can put you in jail for 1 to 12 years. Most of the people who do it are foreigners because they can afford the equipment. Look:

The penalties range from:

1 to 5 years in prison: for possessing mining equipment.

3 to 8 years in prison: for using electrical licenses for mining.

3 to 12 years in prison: for the mining itself or for connecting mining systems to the electrical grid.

What’s your opinion about this? And how does it work in your country?
