#3> And the Bitcoin mining industry is urgently trying to push bills through state legislatures, including in Indiana and Missouri, which would exempt Bitcoin mines from local zoning or noise ordinances.
That's some new low they're reaching.
I really hope their operations become a target of sabotage and attacks. I hope the residents realise failure of cooling can solve some of their problems...

For a state stereotyped as shooting first and asking questions never, I'm amazed that no one has been desperate enough to take matters into their own hands. They're being murdered by this company, it's practically self-defense.

#6How does the noise compare to living in a city?
Do cities have the same health crisis due to noise?

Compared to (random example) Melbourne https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Greater-Melbourne-area-a... it's about the same as being right next to a major street at rush hour.
The difference is that the rush hour doesn't last 24h and is not a monotonous sound. The traffic is both naturally limited at night and there are extra restrictions on heavy traffic. The buildings right next to the big streets also typically account for this, both explicitly (noise insulation) and implicitly (larger buildings, more neutral isolation from the vibrations).
From the same study:
> At these estimated noise levels, approxi- mately 5% of the population would be exposed to road traffic noise above the IHD risk threshold of 55 dB

#8I read the entire article and that is tough. Up to 90 dB is wild.

No no, that's people with guns on powerless people. Not people on companies obviously.

#10Unbelievable that the mining facility doesn’t breach zoning rules. How was this ever allowed?
