Local residents have been at odds with the miner for months, complaining of loud noise coming from the machines.A bitcoin miner in Tennessee that has been in conflict with residents and local officials over noise complaints lost a battle in court on Tuesday.according to News Channel 11The attorney for the company argued in court that Red Dog provided a public utility-type service, but ultimately the judge decided that bitcoin mining did not fall under this category.
“Instead of providing facilities that facilitate the transmission of data… they are a user,” said Chancellor John Rambo, according to News Channel 11. Red Dog technologies leased facilities from power company BrightRidge, also named in the lawsuit filed by Washington County, Tennessee, in November of last year.
In February 2020, BrightRidge was granted a rezoning permit to move from “General Agriculture District” to “Agriculture Business District.
