Yeah, nothing to stoke up the neophobic populace like the accusing people doing something new of being dangers to the community. All those data centers, it's ok for them to use electricity, because "cloud computing" sounds good. Hopefully efficiency will improve, but until then maybe we should just rebrand.  Undecided

You read the article? Sounds to me like they are shutting down a bunch of residential customers that think its fine to load an apartment or makeshift shed full of miners and think they can tap 200kw from a residential grid. I warned of this before, but no one took it seriously. A couple rigs in your house is fine an no one will bother you, but if your going to try and stick a couple dozen in a residential area and think no one will notice think again.
I agree, fire risk should be taken seriously and one should tap the power way below its maximum rated, i learnt thrlere is something called continuois duty cycle rated about 70% below the max rated output for around the clock operation, not sure what other consoderation should be taken to make it safe, i am also keen on getting to know the ordinance in regards to what precautions to take even though ot does not apply to my area.
