An official from a bitcoin mining operation told Washington County commissioners Monday his company is working to find a solution to noise issues at its facility in the Limestone community.
Todd Napier, who represents Red Dog Technologies, said his company is taking âvery seriouslyâ the complaints of the noise coming from the computers and cooling fans used in its cyber-mining operation.
âIt is our companyâs culture and desire to be a good neighbor,â said Napier, who also told commissioners his company has no plans to expand its current operations until the noise issues are abated.
Likewise, Jeff Dykes, the CEO of BrightRidge, said his utility has no plans to get involved in any additional bitcoin mining sites until the noise issues are remedied.
The meeting will begin at at 6 p.m. in the George P. Jaynes Justice Center.

Officials from BrightRidge were asked to come to the boardâs meeting after commissioners heard from residents in the Limestone community in May.
Craig Ponder, pastor of New Salem Baptist Church, said his congregation and neighbors of the community were being disturbed by the constant noise from the computers and cooling fans used by Red Dog Technologies in its cyber-mining operation.
