Notes on the record
Owner Ben Smith, president of the Arkansas Blockchain Council, mining in Arkansas since 2019; positioned in local press as a locally-owned, lower-conflict counterexample to the foreign-owned mines (Green Digital/NewRays One, Jones Digital/Jones Eagle) that drew lawsuits and noise complaints. A second, unnamed-operator facility on Midway Road (south side of Walnut Ridge) was under construction as of Nov 2023 with engineered sound barriers targeting 55 dB at the property line, held separately pending an operator name.
