It seems that Hong Kong customs is enjoying a good day after confiscating about 300 of the new mining cards NVPIA CMP (Crypto Mining Processors).

According to MyDrivers, Hong Kong customs confiscated crypto-exploitation GPUs in a smuggling attempt – but that’s not what you should do when in some regions China has bans on crypto-exploitation farms. There have been massive increases in electricity demand from cryptographic mining farms that have enjoyed cheap electricity prices in many regions of China.
About 65% of global mining energy needs are estimated by China, and because of this, the government has been quite difficult to restrict to cryptographic mining farms. The 300 new NVIDIA GPUs for mining encryption were confiscated, and entry-level CMP 30HX was confiscated in large quantities.
Now, imagine that you see all these cryptographic mining cards and you can’t do anything about it – you can’t use them as graphics cards for games because they don’t have display outputs – and you know there are 300 of them, so cheap encryption mining with electricity = stupid not to do it.
