Residents of a Texas town are complaining about the operations of a large bitcoin mining facility, saying it is not only affecting them personally but it also threatens to crash the entire state grid due to its large electricity consumption.
The Texas Tribune reported on the issue in Granbury, which is 40 miles from Fort Worth, as one resident said that "nobody in their right mind would live here" due to the loud noise it makes throughout the day. The person, Cheryl Sadden, added that she has suffered permanent hearing loss and her animals are showing erratic behavior as a result.
