德州小鎮居民抗議比特幣礦場噪音未果

德克薩斯州鄉村社區未能成功成立城市以減少比特幣礦工噪音

位於德克薩斯州胡德縣的一個小社區,居民們試圖成立一個市政機構,以便對附近的比特幣礦場進行管理,因為他們聲稱該礦場產生的噪音過大。

根據《德克薩斯論壇報》周三的報導,在138名選民中,只有38%支持成立名為“米切爾彎”的新市鎮,這個小市鎮覆蓋約600人的兩平方英里社區。

在過去三年中,當地居民抱怨MARA的60,000台比特幣礦機造成的噪音影響了社區,這些機器在保障比特幣的2萬億美元網絡中扮演著重要角色。

居民們報告了失眠、頭痛和聽力問題,甚至有些人選擇離開這個小鎮。MARA則試圖通過擴建一面24英尺高的牆來減少噪音,並將三分之二的冷卻風扇轉換為液體冷卻系統。

然而,居民們表示噪音依然明顯,這促使他們考慮成立米切爾彎。這個市鎮的人口僅為胡德縣近70,000人的一小部分。

MARA最初試圖阻止投票

MARA在十月底曾提起訴訟,試圖阻止投票,聲稱米切爾彎的成立會損害其業務運作,甚至可能使其面臨稅務壓力而無法經營。

儘管該請求被駁回,但MARA的一位發言人對投票結果表示滿意。

“我們很高興胡德縣的選民看透了這次虛假的成立努力,並在投票中拒絕了它。”

當地居民將繼續為和平而戰

胡德縣居民丹尼·萊基表示,這一失利不會阻止他們尋找其他途徑。

“雖然我們在這裡遭遇了失敗,但我們將繼續前進,並將竭盡所能,阻止工業在胡德縣的擴張。”

當地居民此前曾對MARA及其現場經理大衛·費舍爾提起過針對噪音違規的訴訟,但這些行動均未取得成功。

在阿肯色州,維洛尼亞的規劃委員會在四月時一致拒絕了一項建立加密貨幣礦場的提案,因為居民的強烈反對。

這一事件突顯了在當前比特幣和其他加密貨幣礦業快速增長的背景下,地方社區如何面對環境和生活質量的挑戰。居民們的抗爭不僅是為了自身的生活環境,也是對於更大範圍內加密貨幣行業的反思與質疑。隨著加密貨幣的普及,社區的聲音應該被更多地聽見,並在政策制定中得到考慮。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a cinematic studio portrait of a woman seated on a simple wooden chair with a minimalist design, positioned slightly to the left of the frame. She is captured in a contemplative pose, with her body turned to the left, her left arm resting gracefully on the back of the chair, and her right hand gently touching her face near her lips, conveying a sense of introspection and elegance. Her long, wavy hair cascades naturally over her shoulders, framing her face and adding softness to the composition. She wears an oversized, textured knit sweater that slips off her shoulders, exposing her collarbones and upper chest, emphasizing a relaxed and intimate mood. Her legs are bare, with her right foot flat on the ground and her left knee slightly raised, creating a dynamic line that guides the viewer’s eye through the composition. *** The background is a seamless, deep charcoal or dark brown studio backdrop, providing a rich, neutral setting that enhances the dramatic lighting. The lighting setup features a single, soft yet directional light source positioned to the left of the subject, casting gentle, sculptural shadows that highlight the contours of her face, shoulders, and arms, while creating a subtle gradient across her form. The light accentuates the texture of her sweater and the natural shine of her hair, adding depth and dimension to the image. The color palette is monochromatic with warm, muted tones—shades of gray, brown, and beige—contributing to a timeless, artistic aesthetic. The image is shot with a professional full-frame camera using an 85mm or 50mm lens at a wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 to achieve a shallow depth of field, ensuring the subject is in sharp focus while the background remains softly blurred. The resolution is ultra-high, capturing every detail from the fine texture of her sweater to the subtle expression of her pose. The overall style is elegant, contemplative, and refined, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over overt glamour. Post-processing is minimal, maintaining natural skin tones, enhancing contrast and clarity, and preserving the authenticity of the scene. This portrait embodies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth, making it suitable for fine art, editorial, or fashion photography. A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong. A young woman with fair skin is taking a selfie inside a fitness center (gym).

Main Subject: A young woman with long black hair in a messy bun. She is wearing a light cream or ivory long-sleeved sports zipper jacket and black tight sports shorts. She is also wearing long white socks with black stripes at the top and white sports shoes.

Expression and Pose: She is sitting on a weight training machine (apparently a leg press machine or similar) and holding a phone (with a leopard/leopard print case) to take a selfie in the mirror or using the front camera, with her face forward, a soft smile, and her face and eyes looking at the mirror.

Background (Gym): The background is dominated by modern gym equipment in dark gray and red. There are a few other unfocused people in the background, including a man on the left lifting weights or standing near a barbell, and another man in a green shirt standing near equipment. The gym floor appears dark.

Selfie in the gym, young woman with messy bun and cream jacket, sitting on a training machine, aesthetic sporty, indoor lighting. Without changing her face.
