Bitcoin mining in Zambia | BBC News
The cryptocurrency company Gridless is planning to build more mini power plants plants in rural villages across Africa, in order to bring electricity to remote areas and to mine for bitcoin.
Gridless already has six sites like this in Kenya, Malawi, and Zambia.
The company still faces resistance from some authorities and companies which see bitcoin as an energy-greedy and selfish use of electricity that might otherwise be used by rural people.
The environmental impact of the industry is also a major concern. It’s estimated that bitcoin mining uses as much energy as a small country like Poland.
The BBC’s Joe Tidy visited a mine in Zambia on the Zambezi river to see how one of the projects work.

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran it could face “annihilation” without a US deal over the ongoing conflict, although he said he believed an agreement would be made after US mid-term elections in November.
Trump said UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is a man he can do business with as they met for the first time in New York.
But he criticised the UK’s plan to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius – the islands which are home to a joint US-UK military base.
Trump also met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines.
