Abstract

Mining is a new complex economic and legal technology and at the same time a new type of human activity in the economic sphere, which is not a business activity. In this regard, it seems that mining should not be subject to taxation, does not involve specialized state legal regulation (licensing, control, etc.), can not be considered in the absence of registration as an illegal business and does not entail other negative consequences from the implementation of such actions. For the first time in the scientific literature, the definition of “mining” is considered, taking into account its two main components: information and legal. In contrast to the definition of “mining”, formulated in the draft Federal law “on digital financial assets”, the mention of electricity consumption was excluded, because in reality there are other types of mining, which are problematic to detect on a consistently high level of energy consumption per system.
