Iran Cryptocurrency Mining Activity
The acceleration of crypto-mining activities can also be seen as an effort to bypass U.S. restrictions which have affected the economy of the country long before the U.S.President Donald Trump has since got into power.

Iran is addressing the problem of economic collapse as the nation’s legislature and representatives did vote to modify Iran’s Financial and Banking Act on Monday, which will see the nation’s currency renamed the toman, a unit value totaling 10,000 rials.

The firm iMiner is licensed in Turkey and has been in the market for 7 years. Already iMiner has more than 135,000 clients. The service allows users to run, configure, and manage the miners 24/7 on a private farm.

iMiner is currently available in five nations as well as Iran. These countries involve Turkey, the US, Russia, and Canada.

Iran is experiencing gradual growth in its citizens’ confidence in Bitcoin. Miners were also considered to prefer the region, due to its low energy prices.
