The noise of #BitcoinMining is driving #Americans crazy

Constant hum of fans that cool #DataCenter computers is turning residents against #Trump's pro-#cryptocurrency agenda

Scientists are increasingly linking 'prolonged exposure to #NoisePollution with cardiovascular damage'

"The relentless '#MechanicalHowl' of a #cryptocurrency mining facility has become 'the soundtrack to life for hundreds of residents' in #GranburyTX, a small rural town in #Texas, said The Guardian.

" ;It echoes across agricultural land and forests, chasing away deer. It seeps into walls, vibrating bedrooms and dinner tables.' One resident said it was as though a 'jet engine is forever stationed nearby'.

"Bitcoin mining has exploded in the US over the past decade, particularly in the wake of Donald Trump's re-election to the White House and his embrace of cryptocurrency. But it's an energy-intensive process: the powerful computers that create and protect the cryptocurrency need fans on the go constantly to cool them down. And across #rural, mostly #Republican towns, residents are getting sick of the noise – and getting sick, full stop."

"For the last five years, a loud hum has been a continual backdrop to birdsong and the occasional barking dog in the village of Dresden, New York state.

Coming from the nearby Greenidge Generation power plant, which had been mothballed for years before, the sound has angered some local people.

"It's an annoyance," says Ellen Campbell, who owns a house on Seneca Lake a short distance away. "If I sit out by the lake, I would rather not hear that.

"We didn't sign up for the constant hum."

The issue here in Dresden, a village of about 300 people surrounded by winding country roads, single-track rail lines and farms growing grapes and hops, sounds like a familiar story about the tension between nature-loving locals and economic development.

But their annoyance is also a signal of something less expected – policies of US President Donald Trump meeting resistance from people in the rural areas whose votes drove his return to the White House.

And the cause? Bitcoin mining.

An energy-intensive process that relies on powerful computers to create and protect the cryptocurrency, Bitcoin mining has grown rapidly in the country over recent years. The current administration, unlike Joe Biden's, is intent on encouraging the industry.

Trump has said he wants to turn the US into the crypto-mining capital of the world, announcing in June 2024 that "we want all the remaining Bitcoin to be made in the USA". This has implications for rural communities throughout the US – many of whom voted for Trump."

New research estimates that the 34 largest Bitcoin mining operations in the United States consumed more electricity in 2022 than all of Los Angeles combined. 85% of the electricity came from fossil fuels and exposed 1.9 million Americans to more than 0.1  μg/m3 of additional PM2.5 pollution.

From the XMRig benchmarks. xmrig.com/benchmark

I wonder why the CPU with 384 threads and 384 GB RAM is doing a little bit better than the CPU with 768 threads and 768GB RAM… oh, for some reason they only ran 384 threads on the fancier CPU.

I wanna see about mining because I have a free power location… #MoneroMining #Monero #BitcoinMining #Mining #CryptoMining

Studie der United Nations Universität über -Standorte in 76 Ländern von Anfang 2020 bis Ende 2021:

Der Wasserverbrauch entsprach laut Studie der benƶtigten Menge, um mehr als 300 Mio. Menschen in der Subsahara-Region zu versorgen.

Die CO2-Emission entsprach der Verbrennung von 84 Milliarden Pfund Kohle.
Zum Ausgleich müssten 3,9 Mrd. Bäume gepflanzt werden, auf einer Fläche, so groß wie die Niederlande.

@presidentaz @1VicePresident have no idea how mud volcanoes work, but Azerbaijan has around 400 of them. The heat they generate is wasted. Azerbaijan could mine Bitcoin as successfully as Bhutan and El-Salvador.

Very happy with my @FutureBit Apollo II. After it synced finally last night, I switched to Eco mode. It mines on average at 5.35Th/s. The noise level is comfortable enough to keep it running next to you.

The most important thing is that I run a Bitcoin node and support the network.
