Why turn it off (mining)? It is literally electrical resistance heating. Sorry for being glib but maybe it could actually help subsidize the electricity cost.

- labster 5y agoThe point of getting off Russian gas is to stop subsidizing genocide. So why support a currency whose main purpose is international money laundering? (Secondary purpose: asset bubbles) It would be counterproductive to the goal to give Russia a bigger way to participate in the global economy through crypto. Note I mean purpose of cryptocurrency itself from a systems perspective, not the purpose of those who made it.
