counties reign in crypto mining

Counties in Arkansas are rushing to pass noise and nuisance regulations for crypto mining before a state law takes effect that limits local regulation of data centers & crypto mining. A state representative had quite a lively experience when he visited a crypto mining facility : “a security guard got out of his car, pulled an AR-15 out of his trunk, and filmed them. Kendrick said this was just one example of bad neighbor-like conduct by crypto operations.”
