All about bitcoin in Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

LOL with the lowest electric price (800 riel/kwh) about double what it is in Thailand, his research was not very good
gonna double check but I think our village is 600, but it allegedly comes in from vietnam. bill is not from electricite de cambodge
Even 600r is expensive, and the cheapest is 720 for the lowest tier of use. Do you know what setting up an electrical connection costs? Especially if you need serious power? And if the power comes from Vietnam, it will be switched on and off according to the convenience of the provider. I am sure Cambodia is not even in the top-20 of interesting mining countries due to the climate (good luck cooling all those chips....), the availability / reliability of power and the price of power.

Anyone stating the opposite has probably made an 'investment' in bitcoins when it was at the latest peak value and is trying to safe some bucks spent at that time.
I think the tarrif depends on the size of connection. I cannot remember exactly what it is but I think you can have 5, 20 or 60. Cost $50 to connect the house to the supply which is about 75 to100 metres I think. Not sure how legit it all is. no fridge no aircon.

For 30-50 USD you get a 5A connection these days, that's not going to provide you with a lot of mined coins unless you will cool your systems by blowing over them by yourself.
I think we got the next 1 up from 5a. 1 tv, 1fan, 2 lights.its about $2.50 a month. We have rin welder and drills off it without any explosions.frudge is the worst electric guzzler followed by aircon and we have neither
