Oman has launched Omanhash, a government-supervised Bitcoin mining pool requiring all licensed miners in the country to participate. The pool started operations with a 10 exahash per second hashrate and is part of a $700 million infrastructure investment linked to Oman Vision 2040, aiming to diversify its economy beyond oil. Managed by Frontier Technologies with support from Enegix Global, this centralized approach gives the government full oversight of mining activity. This move impacts global mining by limiting miners' freedom to choose pools, contrasting with more open markets like the US and Canada.
