Russia Miners

Russian emergency workers on Monday ended a rescue operation at a mine in the country's Far East where 13 workers have been trapped for two weeks, state media reported.

A greenhouse near Amsterdam is using solar energy to mine Bitcoin, while using the heat generated from the miners to grow tulips. The system helps cut the reliance on gas, as prices increased after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The greenhouse is also selling tulips online for bitcoin via a business called Bitcoinbloem.

The United States earlier this week imposed sanctions on dozens of people and entities, including a Russian commercial bank and a virtual currency mining company, hoping to target Moscow's evasion of existing sanctions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has mentioned in a new financial stability report that Russia could evade economic sanctions levied in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine by pivoting to cryptocurrency mining.

In a recent virtual meeting with his ministers, Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged that the cost-efficient power availability in Russia could work in its advantage for crypto mining. Putin asked the country's central bank to reach a conclusion on crypto regulations after discussions with government officials.

Cryptocurrency mining in Russia’s Irkutsk region is high, owing to the low cost of electricity there. Authorities conducted raids in various parts of the region and identified crypto mining being facilitated from the homes of the residents.

India and Russia should diversify their trade basket and economic exchanges by going beyond the traditional sectors and cooperating in new areas like railways, transport and logistics, pharmaceuticals, minerals and steel that will add momentum to the bilateral ties, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla has said.

Rescuers have found nine dead construction workers after a fire in a mine in Russia operated by potash maker Uralkali, Russian news agencies reported on Sunday.

Nine miners who have been trapped by smoke inside a mine of Russian potash producer Uralkali, are likely to have died, the Russia's Investigative Committee said on Saturday.

Engineers at Russia's top nuclear research facility have been detained after they attempted to mine bitcoin on its computers, Russian news agencies reported Friday.

Russian mining giant Alrosa is set to auction off a huge 51-carat "Dynasty" diamond and four other high-purity diamonds with a starting price of $10 million, the company says.

Six people died -- most of them rescuers -- in a new explosion in a mine in northern Russia where 26 miners went missing following an accident three days ago, officials said Sunday.

At least two miners were killed on Thursday and 28 are missing after a pit collapse in northern Russia, the owners said.

They spend much of their day clearing their gardens of shrapnel, digging up potatoes or chopping wood to prepare for the fast-approaching winter.

Emergency workers, police officers and even off-duty coal miners spread out Friday across the sunflower fields and villages of eastern Ukraine, searching the wreckage of a Malaysia Airlines jet shot down as it flew high above the country's battlefield.
