description For several years, cryptocurrency mining has been developing on an industrial scale in Irkutsk Oblast in Eastern Siberia.

New dynamics are appearing in the region thanks to mining and, although still limited, are making the marginalized territory of Irkutsk emerge as a space suitable for certain digital activities.
