TechFlow news According to CCTV News, as the virtual currency market continues to rise, many South Korean internet cafes severely impacted by the pandemic have recently turned to cryptocurrency mining—using their high-performance graphics card-equipped computers to run specific algorithmic programs and earn a certain amount of digital currency. For example, an internet cafe with 200 computers mining for 15 hours a day could earn at least 1 million South Korean won daily (approximately RMB 5,800), significantly surpassing the regular revenue of most internet cafes. Industry sources reveal that currently around 20% of South Korean internet cafes have shifted to mining operations.
