🇺🇸 US election commission says crypto mining for political campaigns is ‘permissible’
The U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) has released a new draft opinion that clears the way for people to mine cryptocurrencies as a way to support their preferred candidates. In a memorandum dated Nov. 13, attorneys with the FEC responded to a proposal submitted in September by OsiaNetwork LLC, which at the time asked if individuals would be able to provide their computers’ processing power to mine cryptocurrencies. However, the FEC did not agree to classify these funds as a form of volunteering, which is what OsiaNetwork requested.
