阿肯色州立法者正在考虑立法限制加密货币挖矿

阿肯色州立法者发起了两项旨在规范该州加密货币挖矿的法案。目前正在审议的这些法案解决了对噪音污染、采矿作业的潜在外资所有权以及服务器冷却用水对环境影响的担忧。这些法规旨在限制噪音水平，限制某些国家的个人所有权，并要求采矿设施采取隔音措施。这些举措符合美国和其他国家对加密货币挖矿的能源密集型性质及其对当地社区的潜在影响日益增长的担忧。

Arkansas Legislators Consider Bills Restricting Cryptocurrency Mining

阿肯色州立法者考虑限制加密货币开采的法案

Little Rock, Arkansas, April 17, 2024 - The Arkansas State House has opened the door to two bills that, if passed, would significantly impact the cryptocurrency mining industry within the state. The bills aim to address concerns raised by residents regarding noise pollution, foreign ownership, and the potential hazards posed by mining operations to residential communities.

阿肯色州小石城，2024 年 4 月 17 日 - 阿肯色州议会大厦已为两项法案敞开大门，如果通过，将对该州的加密货币采矿业产生重大影响。这些法案旨在解决居民对噪音污染、外资所有权以及采矿作业对住宅社区造成的潜在危害的担忧。

Bills Overriding Previous Legislation

法案推翻先前的立法

Both bills seek to overturn sections of Act 851 of 2023, which currently restricts local governments from enacting noise ordinances specifically针对加密矿工。此外，该账单还制定了一系列新规定，其中包括将阿肯色州加密挖矿活动的激增定义为“紧急情况”。

Noise Mitigation and Foreign Ownership Restrictions

噪音缓解和外资所有权限制

One of the proposed bills focuses on enforcing noise limits on crypto mining operations. It also restricts foreign entities on the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) list from owning or operating crypto mines in Arkansas. Additionally, the bill mandates the implementation of soundproofing measures at mining facilities and prohibits the use of water for server cooling.

其中一项拟议法案的重点是对加密货币采矿作业实施噪音限制。它还限制国际武器贸易条例（ITAR）名单上的外国实体在阿肯色州拥有或经营加密矿场。此外，该法案还要求在采矿设施中实施隔音措施，并禁止使用水来冷却服务器。

Concerns Fueling Regulatory Push

担忧加剧监管推动

Crypto miners have flocked to Arkansas in recent years, attracted by the state's low electricity rates and abundant natural resources. However, this influx has raised concerns among residents and lawmakers. Mining operations involve the use of specialized computers that generate substantial heat and require energy-intensive cooling mechanisms, typically involving circulating water or noisy fans.

近年来，受该州低电价和丰富自然资源的吸引，加密货币矿工纷纷涌入阿肯色州。然而，这种涌入引起了居民和立法者的担忧。采矿作业涉及使用专门的计算机，这些计算机会产生大量热量，并且需要能源密集型冷却机制，通常涉及循环水或嘈杂的风扇。

Environmental and Regulatory Considerations

环境和监管考虑因素

The concerns about crypto mining extend beyond noise pollution. Other states and countries have expressed similar apprehensions about the environmental impact of mining activities. For instance, Paraguay is considering a temporary ban on mining due to concerns about illegal miners affecting electricity distribution.

对加密货币挖矿的担忧不仅仅限于噪音污染。其他州和国家也对采矿活动对环境的影响表达了类似的担忧。例如，由于担心非法采矿者影响电力分配，巴拉圭正在考虑暂时禁止采矿。

Political Implications

政治影响

The proposed bills come amid heightened political scrutiny of the cryptocurrency industry and ahead of major elections in the United States. Some analysts believe that crypto users could influence the upcoming elections, with some voters expressing bias toward candidates with pro-cryptocurrency views.

拟议的法案是在加密货币行业受到更严格的政治审查以及美国重大选举之前提出的。一些分析师认为，加密货币用户可能会影响即将到来的选举，一些选民表达了对支持加密货币观点的候选人的偏见。
