Bryan Maacks put up a sign protesting US Bitcoin over the noise of its operations in Niagara Falls, New York. In the US border town of Niagara Falls, residents accustomed to the soothing roar of the famous waterfalls recently discovered a much less pleasant sound: the "haunting hum" of bitcoin mining farms. "I get four hours of sleep, maybe, because of that constant noise," said Elizabeth Lundy, an 80-year-old retired hairdresser. "I can hear the noise even through the storm windows." On a sunny October morning, a mechanical whirring could be heard clearly on Lundy's front porch.
