Inside the Chinese Bitcoin Mine That's Making $1.5M a Month (vice.com)
7 points by stupandaus on Feb 6, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments


Why use the profits from October in the headline of an article published in February? The cost of bitcoins has nearly halved in the meanwhile. Hope they had a healthy profit margin before.


I remember reading somewhere that some Chinese miners will mine at a loss because they can purchase the equipment/energy/cooling/etc in RMB but convert the BTC into USD, circumventing the country's capital controls.

Does anyone have any more information about this?
