Crypto Mining Goes Legit—Kinda Quietly

The Russian tax honchos at FNS just dropped their shiny new miner registry, and 150 applications have already landed on the books. Daniil Yegorov, the big boss at FNS, spilled the beans in an RBC chat. He said it’s all pretty chill so far, which, in his words, is “even good.” Turns out, there’s a lot of moving parts in this crypto circus.

“This thing’s complicated,” Yegorov explained. “We’re juggling a couple of setups here—registering data centers (you know, those mega-server hubs) and the miners themselves.” But it doesn’t stop there. There’s some tag-teaming with the Energy Ministry, figuring out who gets to mine where and what to do when the grid throws a tantrum.

And get this—some miners aren’t even tapping the grid. They’re hacking the energy game, running on gas setups and cranking out their own juice. Wild, right?

Taxing Miners: A Split System

Here’s the kicker. This isn’t just another register-your-name-and-move-on kind of deal. The FNS cooked up a whole new tax setup for these mining mavericks. Yegorov pointed out the split—individuals and companies get different rules to play by.

The registry, launched as part of Russia’s crypto asset laws, is now live on the FNS site. Miners and operators of mining rigs can throw their details into the system, making it all official-like. For the bureaucrats, this is about tightening up the backend of a scene that’s been flying under the radar for too long.

But let’s be real. With overloaded grids, energy hacks, and new tax hoops, you gotta wonder how long the quiet will last.
