Those caught mining crypto on farms face fines of up to 10,000 dirhams, or about $2,722.
The authority on agriculture in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), issued an advisory to farmers prohibiting mining crypto on farms.
The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority reportedly told farmers that farms cannot be used as a site for mining cryptocurrencies. The government agency said the activity is considered a “misuse of the farm for purposes other than its intended use.”
Furthermore, those caught violating this rule would face penalties of up to 10,000 UAE dirhams, worth about $2,722.
