New Yor bans cryptocurrency miners... from operating their rigs. This seems to me... like a first step before they make illegal all alternative currencies. Oh yes, they are blaming carbon emmissions. All this talk about global warming.

No big deal if it's just in the larger cities where the infrastructure is already strained from high population, high temperatures and distance to power plants. Countryside locations have cleaner power sources and reduce the total power consumption by cooling directly with cold air or water instead of power hungry AC pushed to the limit in a hot city, generating even more heat by just moving it to the exhaust. People in New York can still work with crypto mining, just need to use a cloud service in a cold location.
