阿肯色立法机关拒绝法案在军事设施附近禁止加密货币开采

阿肯色州立法机关驳回了一项拟议的法案，该法案旨在禁止与军事设施密切相关的加密货币开采。

A bill that aimed to prohibit cryptocurrency mining in close proximity to military installations in Arkansas has been rejected by the state legislature. The Senate City, County, and Local Affairs Committee denied the measure by a 6-1 vote during a meeting on Monday.

该法案旨在禁止在阿肯色州的军事设施附近的加密货币开采遭到州议会的拒绝。参议院城市，县和地方事务委员会在周一的一次会议上以6-1的投票否认了这一措施。

The bill, designated as SB280, sought to impose restrictions on mining operations situated within a 30-mile radius of military sites. It was introduced earlier this year by Sen. Trent Garner (R) and Sen. Greg Leding (D).

该法案被指定为SB280，试图对位于军事场地半径内的采矿作业施加限制。它是由参议员特伦特·加纳（Trent Garner）（R）和格雷格·莱德（Greg Leding）参议员（D）引入的。

The legislation aimed to address concerns related to the potential energy consumption and security risks posed by having large-scale Bitcoin mining activities near military installations.

该立法旨在解决与军事设施附近大规模比特币采矿活动所带来的潜在能源消耗和安全风险有关的问题。

During the discussion on the bill, several lawmakers expressed contrasting viewpoints. Those who supported the measure highlighted the importance of considering national security, particularly in light of past instances where foreign-owned mining operations, especially those linked to China, were flagged by national security agencies as posing significant risks.

在对该法案的讨论中，几位议员表达了对比的观点。那些支持该措施的人强调了考虑国家安全的重要性，尤其是考虑到过去的实例外国拥有的采矿业务，尤其是与中国相关的行动，被国家安全机构标记为带来重大风险。

On the other hand, some lawmakers raised concerns about the potential negative effects of the bill on local communities and businesses. They pointed to worries about noise pollution and high energy use, which some critics argued could harm local neighborhoods and essential services.

另一方面，一些议员对法案对当地社区和企业的潜在负面影响提出了担忧。他们指出，担心噪声污染和高能量使用，一些批评家认为这可能会损害当地社区和基本服务。

Ultimately, the committee members voted to reject the bill, effectively halting efforts to impose restrictions on cryptocurrency mining operations near military sites in Arkansas.

最终，委员会成员投票赞成拒绝该法案，有效地停止了对阿肯色州军事遗址附近的加密货币采矿作业施加限制。

Arkansas has taken a relatively crypto-friendly approach in recent years. In 2023, the state passed the Arkansas Data Centers Act, which was designed to attract large-scale data centers, including those involved in cryptocurrency mining, by offering them various incentives.

近年来，阿肯色州采取了一种相对易于加密的方法。 2023年，该州通过了《阿肯色州数据中心法》，该法案旨在吸引大规模的数据中心，包括参与加密货币挖掘的数据中心，通过提供各种激励措施。

The measure also aimed to provide legal protections for Bitcoin miners, ensuring that they could continue operating without the threat of sudden regulatory crackdowns. By rejecting the proposed mining ban, Arkansas further establishes its position as a pro-crypto state and sets it apart from other regions that are implementing stricter laws pertaining to the digital asset sector.

该措施还旨在为比特币矿工提供法律保护，以确保他们可以继续运作而不会受到突然监管镇压的威胁。通过拒绝拟议的采矿禁令，阿肯色州进一步确立了其作为亲克赖特州国家的地位，并将其与其他正在实施与数字资产部门有关的更严格法律的地区区分开来。

However, the discussion on cryptocurrency mining is far from over. Concerns regarding the possible national security risks, energy consumption, and environmental impact of these projects remain.

It is possible that some lawmakers may still support alternative legislation that seeks to strike a balance between enhancing security and allowing unrestricted mining operations.

某些议员可能仍可能支持替代立法，该立法试图在增强安全和允许无限制的采矿业务之间取得平衡。

Meanwhile, the broader discourse on the regulation of Bitcoin mining continues at the federal and state levels. In May 2024, the Biden administration blocked a Chinese-owned mining company from operating near a military base in Wyoming over national security concerns. President Donald Trump has also stated that the U.S. should focus on Bitcoin mining, asserting that the country should lead in the cryptocurrency industry.

Meanwhile, the broader discourse on the regulation of Bitcoin mining continues at the federal and state levels. 2024年5月，拜登政府阻止了一家中国拥有的矿业公司在怀俄明州在国家安全问题上在军事基地附近运营。唐纳德·特朗普总统还表示，美国应该专注于比特币开采，并断言该国应该领导加密货币行业。

With varying perspectives at the federal and state levels, the regulatory landscape for crypto mining remains to be fully defined. Arkansas's ruling indicates, at least for now, that the state is not prepared to place stringent limitations on the sector. But as environmental concerns and security issues continue to be debated, future legislative clashes over Bitcoin mining could be on the horizon.

With varying perspectives at the federal and state levels, the regulatory landscape for crypto mining remains to be fully defined.至少目前，阿肯色州的裁决表明，国家不准备对该行业施加严格的限制。但是，随着环境问题和安全问题继续进行辩论，未来对比特币采矿的立法冲突可能会出现。
