(Source: Reuters) The leading electric car manufacturer Tesla (USA) will again accept vehicles pay in bitcoin when the process of “mining” this cryptocurrency is certified to use clean energy. Tesla CEO, Billionaire Elon Musk announced the above information on June 13 and immediately caused bitcoin to increase 5.1% in value, to $ 37,360.60 at 1:10 am on June 14 (Vietnam time). Billionaire Musk said Tesla will restore use bitcoin coin in payment transactions when “miners” certify that 50% of the electricity used to “mine” cryptocurrencies is clean energy and identify this as a positive trend in the future. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are the “rewards” obtained after the process of “mining” with specialized miners that solve computational problems that allow linking blocks of transactions (blockchains). This process consumes a large amount of energy. In May, billionaire Musk announced Tesla will no longer accept bitcoin as a means of payment in its purchases. The announcement reverses Tesla’s decision in late March to accept payments in bitcoin and invest $1.5 billion in the digital currency. According to the graph of Bitcoin Mining Power Consumption Index produced by the University of Cambridge (CBECI), the energy use for “mining” cryptocurrency has increased continuously since 2016, even skyrocketing in 2020 and up The current level is 149 terawatt-hours (TWh), an all-time high.

In recent years, Quang Ninh Museum has become a favorite destination for young people. They boasted to each other about the beautiful and strange “virtual living corners” that could not be exploited. Located right on the shores of Ha Long Bay, a World Natural Heritage Site, Quang Ninh Museum is probably the most beautifully located museum in Vietnam. Inspired by the image of coal – a typical mineral of the mining land, Quang Ninh Museum was designed in striking black by Spanish architect Salvador Perez Arroyo. The shell is like a giant mirror reflecting Ha Long Bay, creating a unique beauty. In 2014, the Quang Ninh Provincial Library-Museum cluster won the “Project of the Year” award by the Vietnam Urban Development Planning Association. Quang Ninh Museum is not only that, this place is truly a miniature Quang Ninh, helping visitors discover the richness of life, cultural and aesthetic imprints, and the richness of resources of the mining land. The collection of 8 national treasures with the Ngoa Van-Yen Tu gold box, the full moon ceramic vase dating back more than 3,000 years… are part of it. According to experts’ assessment, the museum’s display system is quite unique, ensuring the advanced, updating the leading advances in the world’s display methods; The spaces are displayed vividly, the furniture is displayed as well as the scientific arrangement of artifacts, avoiding boredom for visitors. Students of Yen Tho Secondary School (Dong Trieu) visit and experience the Quang Ninh Library-Museum cluster. Photo: PHAM TANG Taking care of every little corner, the museum is highly appreciated by domestic and foreign tourists. Ms. Nguyen Yen Nga (visitor from Hanoi) is not only interested in the artifacts in the museum, stylish photography angles but also in the coffee shop here. Visitor Shannon (Australia) on the famous travel site Tripadvisor commented: “This museum is epic. Three floors with a huge amount of information help you fully visualize all the information about Vietnam you want to learn.” Ms. Trinh Thi Thu Thuy, a person with a disability at the Project on Promoting Accessible Tourism for People with Disabilities in Vietnam, who used to work for a travel company, noticed the stairs designed specifically for people with disabilities. disabilities. Ms. Thuy shared: “We are the ones who directly study accessible tourism in the localities, sometimes quite disappointed because of the fact that we surveyed dozens of destinations in different places but couldn’t find the next one. But Quang Ninh Museum is one of the destinations designed to serve people with disabilities.” Build into an attractive tourism product It is not difficult to understand that Quang Ninh Museum has many interesting exhibits related to coal. Just outside the museum is the glossy black block of a block of coal, symbolizing the land of the mines. The outdoor display area of ​​the museum has the largest monolithic coal in Vietnam, the statue of a mining worker. The exhibition area in the museum is the story of the entire history of Quang Ninh coal mining industry from the Nguyen and French colonial times to the present day. One of the interesting experiences when coming to Quang Ninh Museum is playing the role of “miner in shift”. In this experience, visitors can put on a miner’s outfit, step into the pit built in a 1-to-1 scale with full equipment, enjoy the specialty of mine bread… Em Nguyen Khanh Linh (Quang Ninh) said: “When I first entered this coal tunnel area, I was afraid because it was dark. But I think this is quite an interesting experience, giving me a more accurate view of the difficulties in the work of miners. I think it’s a hard but glorious job.” Experiencing miners in shifts is just one of the experiential activities that always attract a large number of people, children, tourists… of Quang Ninh Museum. The museum has implemented experiential and creative activities in the exhibition space itself with useful and interesting playgrounds for children as well as visitors, such as: “Learning the history of Quang Ninh through artifacts museum”, “Full Moon Festival-Experience with children”, “Baby is a child artist”, “Team building”… Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee has recognized Quang Ninh Museum as a tourism product located in the central tourist route of Ha Long City and one of 12 tourist attractions in Ha Long City. Mr. Kieu Dinh Son, Director of Quang Ninh Museum said: “The museum associated with tourism and serving tourism is an important task and method to realize socialization and promote the social effects of tourism. effective museum today. Since its opening, the number of visitors to the museum has increased. Therefore, along with promoting advantages and overcoming difficulties, the unit will strengthen cooperation with travel agencies, build programs in tours, widely promote the image, present objects of the museum to contribute to attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists. In 2019, we received about 400,000 visitors. Total revenue from ticket sales reached more than 10.35 billion VND. Quang Ninh Museum is the only provincial general museum in the country and is one of three museums in the country with 100% autonomy in recurrent expenditure.

They can be found all over the world, including India. But in India, there is a heavy price that thousands of miners working illegally in mica mines in the country are paying. Poor and dangerous working conditions Widow Basanti Mosamat, 40, lives in Jharkhand who specializes in collecting and selling scrap mica for a living. This is her family’s only source of income. Once a week, Mosamat, her father-in-law and her five children hike 10 kilometers into the woods near the village to set up camp and spend a few days sifting for minerals. Picking up mica from dawn to dusk without any protective gear left her hands scratched and bruised. Her eldest daughter has picked up mica since she was 5. The more hands on the job, the more likely the family will have food on the table. “One mica picker is not enough. My father passed away, so I had to help my mother,” she said. 1 kg of shredded mica sells for 7 rupees ($0.10). On a lucky day, the Mosamat family hopes to earn 150 rupees ($2.06). Mica miners. Photo: CNA They are part of India’s 100 million indigenous people known as the Adivasis, who live on the fringes of society with limited government support for health, education, job security and food. “There’s nothing here, a life of hunger and fullness makes it impossible for us to look forward to the future,” Birhor said. Poverty has led some miners to turn to abandoned caves and mines, where there is more mica. However, they do not have lights or protective equipment, only exploiting based on experience. “People can slip and fall somewhere or get kicked in the head. Mining is very difficult. We always have to be vigilant, the mine is likely to collapse at any time. Sometimes one mistake can kill them all,” said Mukesh Bhulla, who started picking up mica as a scared child. In January, there were at least three reports of mine collapses in Koderma and Jharkhand. An estimated 10 to 20 people die each month due to the risks of mica mining. In fact, there are more accidents than are reported. However amateur miners have no choice but to take the risk. “If we didn’t work here, we would all die. There is no other option for the job. What are we going to do?”, shared Dimpi Devi, a mother of three. This makes people like Devi very vulnerable to exploitation, especially when they can’t afford living expenses. If they cannot borrow from mainstream banks, they have to look to usury lenders with interest rates up to 200%/year. “Some people told us they were only allowed to sell mica to their creditors at the price these merchants asked for,” said investigative journalist Peter Bengtsen. He has been monitoring the mica trade in Jharkhand for more than a decade. “Basically, the deal will last until they pay off their debts,” Bengtsen said. Forest management inspections are also common, and miners are sometimes required to pay bribes to keep working. Mosamat said: “The police don’t visit us often, but the rangers keep an eye on us. “There is a network of people manipulating mica mining and they are very powerful,” said Deepak Bara, a freelance journalist based in Jharkhand. Indian children participate in mica mining. Photo: CNA A systemic problem Controversy over mica mining began to surface in the mid-2000s, following investigations into the use of child labor in the industry. According to the International Labor Organization, India has more than 10 million children who are working even though they are not of working age. In particular, the plight of child miners in the mica industry has attracted international media attention. However, according to many journalists and politicians, children born into mica mining families have no choice but to continue the work of their parents. “They have to earn extra income for the family. The government does not have a policy to support children or if it does, it is not effective,” Bara said. In response to growing public concern, several global campaigns have been established. One of them is the Mica Initiative, which intends to eliminate child mining in Jharkhand next year. Members of the campaign include Chanel, L’Oréal and Sephora. Some other brands are also committed to more rigorous testing of the supply chain. However, they must also admit that managing mica sources is very difficult. In 2019, mica exports in India reached more than 37 million USD (according to World Bank data). With so many transactions, brands can’t track exactly where their mica comes from. Yue Jin Tay, business development manager of Circulor, a company that uses blockchain to verify the provenance of minerals in the supply chain, said technology could be part of the solution but more is needed to make it happen. Ethical trading became a common practice. And consumers need to accept that the company has to pay increasing costs to more rigorously examine the supply chain.

TKV Trade Union Vice Chairman Pham Hong Hanh gives support to Ms. Trinh Thi Huong’s family – Than Vang Danh. In addition to the fund formed from the mobilization of employees’ contributions, from 2019, the Investor and General Director of TKV have agreed to annually deduct from the welfare fund of the Group to implement the housing program of the union. At the same time, agreed to consider and approve to support the construction and repair of houses for workers’ families in the policy category chaired by the POKV and request the General Director of TKV to deduct funds from the Group’s welfare fund to support assistance to families that are eligible under the regulations. In 2 years, TKV Union Shelter has mobilized nearly 19 billion VND, of which mobilized employees to contribute 7,925 billion VND and deducted from Welfare Fund of the Group 11 billion VND. Some units have done a good job of mobilizing the employees to respond and contribute the amount exceeding the allocated target of the POKV such as the Hon Gai Coal Company Trade Union reaching 124.6%; Trade Union of Quang Hanh Company reached 121.4%; Ha Long Coal Company Union reached 113.6% … From the spirit of positive responses of the employees, the responsible participation of the units and the care of the leaders of TKV, in 2 years the number of houses supported to build and repair has increased very high compared to the Last year, with 260 families supported (an average of 130 houses / year, an increase of about 50 houses compared to previous years). The total amount of support is 13.08 billion VND, of which 197 families build new and 63 repaired families, with the support for new construction of 60 million VND (an increase of 10 million VND compared to 2018) and 20 million VND repairs. . Families who are supported to build and repair their houses are active and exemplary workers but have different special circumstances such as: their own poor health; his wife and children are seriously ill and handicapped; a worker living alone, raising children alone, low income … Along with the union shelters, in 2020, TKV has supported building and repairing houses for 32 families of workers in the policy category, with a level of VND 100 million / house from the Group’s welfare fund. These are families whose workers died or become disabled (81% or more impaired) due to an occupational accident while working in the Group’s units, without housing or deteriorated housing. . From 2019, in addition to requiring the President of the Trade Union, the units must commit to the POKV on the worker housing model and take responsibility when the worker house model is not supported to build in accordance with the commitment, when testing The collection is also required to have written confirmation of the representative of the grassroots trade union and the family of the worker, together with the actual photos of the houses built and repaired to compare with the model committed by the employee. with the grassroots union. This continues to show transparency in supporting employees, and at the same time attaches the responsibilities of the grassroots trade union to survey, appraisal, inspection, monitoring, acceptance and document completion. . Determining the Lunar New Year in 2020, CĐTKV officially organized the Miners ‘New Year Program for employees, so from 2019 the handover of houses to the families of investors has authorized the units to coordinate with workers’ families. take the initiative to hand over. Nam Mau Coal Union is authorized by the CĐTKV to grant home repair assistance to staff. The CĐTKV organizes the giving to families at the Miners New Year Program, this form has created an impressive image in front of a large number of workers and the masses of the people as well as leaders at all levels of welfare policies. Group for employees. The authorization for the units to take the initiative in handing over has been carried out with research and responsibility by the units and witnessed by representatives of leaders of the population and neighborhoods. In addition to the funding support from the Union Shelter Fund, many units deduct other funding sources and support the workday to additionally support their families from 10 to 60 million VND, typically the Mong Duong Coal Company supports 60 million / newly built house, 20 million / repaired house; Mining Chemical Industry Corporation supported 40 million / new house; Mao Khe Coal Company supports 30 million / new building, 15 million / house repair; Ha Long Coal Company supports 20 million / house to build new, 10 million / house to repair; Uong Bi Coal Company, Ha Lam Coal Joint Stock Company additionally support 20 million / new built house, 10 million / repair house … Many units have mobilized the employees in the unit to support families in the process of building and repairing houses on the day of leveling, construction, material transportation, roofing, painting, electricity and water … and give gifts to workers’ families on the day they come home from VND 3 to 5 million. Some units, in addition to proposing to build and repair houses for workers from the Group’s Trade Union Shelters Fund, also formed legal funds at their units to support their workers’ workers. housing repair such as: Hon Gai Coal Company supported 97 families with the support level of 30 million VND / house; Than Khe Cham Company supports 6 families, the level of support is 150 million / house; Lam Dong Aluminum Company supports 6 families, the level of support is 50 million / house and loans from 30 to 50 million / family, no interest and loans are paid monthly 1.5 to 2 million VND … There are also a number of unit leaders who have donated their personal money to the workers’ families with extremely difficult circumstances such as Tuyen Than Cua Ong, Thong Nhat Coal Company.

Foreign media exposed the core photos of RTX 3080Ti, It shows that its core number is GA102-225, which is consistent with previous rumors. The graphics card will be equipped with 1024 stream processors, 384-bit wide 12GB GDDR6X video memory, and the capacity is half of the RTX 3090.

(Image source: videocardz)

CPU-Z screenshot shows, The core frequency of RTX 3080Ti is between 1365MHz and 1665MHz, which is lower than 3090/3080, which can better widen the gap in performance. However, the memory frequency of RTX 3080Ti can be overclocked from 19GHz to 21.4GHz. When the power reaches 278W, its mining power reaches 118.9MHz/s.

(Image source: videocardz)

The mining power of RTX 3080 is about 90MHz. I didn’t expect the RTX 3080Ti to be so fierce and the increase in computing power is so large. It seems that the miners have to act again. However, NVIDIA has stated that it will limit the mining capabilities of RTX30 series graphics cards, and 3080Ti will also be restricted under normal circumstances.

RTX 3060 is limited to 50% of the computing power. If the same ratio is used, the limited computing power of 3080Ti is about 50~60MHz/s. Combined with its price and power consumption, the price/performance ratio for mining may not be so high, but as long as it is a graphics card with strong computing power, it is estimated that miners will not let it go.

In March, NVIDIA launched the first professional mining card CMP 30HX, which uses the previous generation GPU core and cancels the video output interface. The power is 125W, the mining power is 26MH/s, and the price is close to 4700 yuan. Compared with RTX 3060, there is still a gap, but it is still purchased in large quantities by miners, which brings huge revenue growth to NVIDIA.

There will be CMP 40HX, 50HX and 90HX and other mining cards to be listed in the future. The corresponding mining power is 36MHz/s, 45MHz/s and 86MHz/s respectively. It is estimated that the price is certainly not cheap. In contrast, RTX 3080Ti is still the sweet pastry in the eyes of miners.

Fortunately, the price of virtual currency has fallen in recent days. It is expected that the demand for graphics cards from miners will ease a little in the future. At that time, there may be a chance to buy graphics cards at the original price. I look forward to this day.
