Nebraska passes new bill to make Bitcoin mining more difficult

Odaily News The Nebraska state legislature just passed a bill to regulate Bitcoin miners. LB 526 would require large miners to cover the cost of infrastructure upgrades, require miners to report energy usage, and allow authorities to interrupt service. The bill passed unanimously, 49-0.
Nebraska’s Bitcoin mining bill, LB 526, isn’t a huge setback for companies in the state. The bill is just over two pages long and is pretty straightforward. Unlike the anti-mining bill, it doesn’t address carbon emissions or other environmental impacts. Instead, it focuses almost entirely on the electric grid.
