阿肯色鎮拒絕比特幣採礦，加密鎮定鎮壓

4月25日，維洛尼亞計劃委員會拒絕了建立加密貨幣採礦設施的提案。

Vilonia Planning Commission has shot down a proposal to establish a cryptocurrency mining facility in the town, marking the latest development in a broader crackdown on the industry.

Vilonia計劃委員會已提出一項提案，以在該鎮建立加密貨幣開採設施，這標誌著對該行業的更廣泛鎮壓的最新發展。

The decision, made on April 25, follows weeks of protests from Vilonia residents. They had voiced concerns over unbearable noise pollution, excessive strain on the local power grid, and potential environmental threats posed by the facility.

該決定於4月25日作出，是在維洛尼亞居民的數週抗議之後。他們對難以忍受的噪聲污染，對當地電網的過多壓力以及設施構成的潛在環境威脅表示擔憂。

One local resident expressed the community's sentiment, stating that people moved to Vilonia seeking a quiet place to live peacefully and enjoy the surrounding beauty. "They didn't move here for Bitcoin," she added.

一位當地居民表達了社區的情緒，指出人們搬到維洛尼亞，尋求一個安靜的地方和平生活並享受周圍的美麗。她補充說：“他們沒有搬到這裡去比特幣。”

Vilonia, a prosperous town in Arkansas with a median household income above $80,000 (as of 2023), has become a target for cryptocurrency miners due to its strong energy infrastructure. The town boasts an Entergy substation and surplus capacity, offering a prime setup for large-scale mining operations.

維洛尼亞（Vilonia）是阿肯色州一個繁榮的小鎮，家庭收入中位數超過80,000美元（截至2023年），由於其強大的能源基礎設施，已成為加密貨幣礦工的目標。該鎮擁有赤型變電站和盈餘容量，為大規模採礦業提供了主要設置。

However, residents fear that the constant hum of mining cooling systems and increased energy demand could escalate utility costs and disrupt their quality of life.

但是，居民擔心開採冷卻系統和能源需求增加的不斷嗡嗡聲會升級公用事業成本並破壞其生活質量。

Earlier in 2023, commissioners also denied Vilo AR’s application for a crypto mining site in Vilonia. The company had planned to build a 20,000 square foot facility on Highway 64, but faced strong opposition from locals who raised concerns over noise pollution and the company's lack of transparency.

2023年早些時候，專員還否認了Vilo AR在Vilonia申請加密礦場的申請。該公司計劃在64號高速公路上建造20,000平方英尺的設施，但面臨著當地人的強烈反對，他們對噪聲污染和公司缺乏透明度的關注感到擔憂。

Vilonia falls within a broader push to restrict cryptocurrency mining in Arkansas. Earlier this year, Arkansas lawmakers passed two bills aimed at tightening regulations on cryptocurrency mining operations in response to concerns raised by local communities.

維洛尼亞（Vilonia）遭受了更廣泛的努力，以限制阿肯色州的加密貨幣開採。今年早些時候，阿肯色州議員通過了兩項旨在收緊加密貨幣採礦業務的法案，以應對當地社區提出的擔憂。

As Vilonia and other towns reject crypto mining proposals and legislators introduce new legislation, Arkansas is becoming a focal point for a more cautious approach to regulating the cryptocurrency industry.

隨著維洛尼亞和其他城鎮拒絕加密礦業提案，立法者介紹了新的立法，阿肯色州正成為更加謹慎的監管加密貨幣行業的焦點。
