bitcoin mining: Anxiety, mood swings and sleepless nights: Life near a bitcoin mine

Scores of the operations have popped up in recent years across the United States. When a mining computer lands on numbers that bitcoin's algorithm accepts, the payout is currently worth about $250,000. The more computers an operation has, the better chance of earning the payout. The industry is often criticized for its vast energy use -- often a boon for the fossil-fuel industry -- and noise is a common complaint.
