Odaily Planet Daily News: Uzbekistan's National Agency for Prospective Projects (NAPP) issued a decree on the licensing of cryptocurrency mining operations, limiting such activities to legal entities. In addition to prohibiting individual miners from operating, NAPP also requires companies to use only solar energy to mine cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. However, miners can still use Uzbekistan's unified electricity system in certain cases prescribed by legislation. The document does not mention what the case means. Among other requirements, Uzbekistan's cryptocurrency regulator requires companies to set up special rooms to install mining equipment and can only mine cryptocurrencies through registered addresses. The rules also require cryptocurrency mining companies to pay the mining fees set by the regulator in full and on time. In addition, NAPP also prohibits miners from mining privacy coins.
