 Noise from industry and traffic is terrible for mental and physical health. Immersion mining should be the standard, unless you need the hot air from the fans for something useful.  
 Clearly this is an issue that need to be addressed and that taints the industry until its not, not to mention the immorality towards the residents exposed to the hazardous noise. 
 agree. i’m not against bitcoin mining but we should consider the placement of the mining in order to protect the people who live nearby. no one should have any type data center etc nextdoor to where they live. we need to think about the health of humanity 
 Crazy. Wonder if it’s actually the asics or just trying to receive compensation 
 that’s a good question. i think it’s the asics placement which is way too close to people’s homes. as you say, could very well also be compensation
