District heads complained that cryptocurrency mining farms continue to operate despite repeated shutdowns.

Zurab Bagapsh, Deputy General Director of RUE Chernomorenergo, said that electricity consumption throughout Abkhazia continues to grow.

“We are shutting down the farms, but they are resuming their activities. Small penalties don't scare crypto farmers. The situation is complicated by the fact that in addition to large mining farms, there are also small farms in private houses and hotels that cannot be traced. It is necessary to start taking tough measures to suppress this activity, to confiscate devices, property illegally connected to power grids, and significantly increase fines, ” Bagapsh said.

According to Minister of Internal Affairs Dmitry Dbar, it is largely impossible to stop the activities of cryptocurrency mining farms due to some officials assisting crypto farmers.

Acting Chairman of the State Security Service Robert Kiut said that they provide information support to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and "accumulate material" about officials involved in mining.

Alkhas Kvitsinia expressed his attitude to the mining problem: “Everyone knows each other directly or indirectly in Abkhazia, especially in villages, so I do not believe those heads of villages and districts who say they do not know who is mining on their territory. It's time to stop the familiarity! Whichever “good guy” is involved in mining, his merits and connections should not justify the damage that he causes to the state.
