What’s new? The communal chief of Serodino of Argentina’s Santa Fe Province, Juan Pio Drovetta, has announced the launch of a new initiative to get out of a difficult economic situation. The authorities plan to purchase a cryptocurrency mining farm to extract additional financial resources for the development of the commune.
What else is known about the authorities’ initiative? The first farm of six video cards will be purchased and installed with funds from the municipality and private investments.
