Best countries to mine Crypto
Maintaining Blockchain Infrastructure isn’t always cheap, Proof of Work requires machines that consume a lot of electricity, the cost of electricity in some countries has obliged miners to find cheaper and good sources of electricity.
As you know, I am working on a mining Farm in the South of Argentina, where weather is cold and electricity is cheap. Sadly, this isn’t the case for most countries, If you are thinking of mining and are currently wondering if it would be worth it to set up a rig in your country, here is a list of electricity costs per country (expressed in USD).
I personally think that if you are paying anything below the 0.12 cents line, you should mining!
Is your country not on the list?, help us find more data and tell us how much you are paying for your electricity.

@chitty,
My country is Sri Lanka. I think electricity cost is little lower here too. Anyway I will check and update you soon.

Just a dumb question, would using alternative energy sources (wind, solar etc.) lower the cost of mining?
If you afford alternative energy sources , then yes, they will reduce the cost of mining but to the point where you have to start to invest more money into their maintenance.
In the long term is cheaper but you have to cover the initial installation which isn't always cheap.
Que bajisimo porcentaje tiene Venezuela:(
