City of Niagara Falls orders Blockfusion facility to cease and desist crypto mining By Cointelegraph

The City of Niagara Falls has issued a cease-and-desist notice to New York-headquartered crypto mining firm Bit Digital over a data facility owned and operated by its partner Blockfusion.

In an Oct. 7 announcement, Bit Digital said the city notice would effectively stop the facility from conducting “any cryptocurrency mining or related operations” until Blockfusion was in compliance with local zoning ordinances. The Niagara Falls ordinance went into effect on Oct. 1 following a moratorium, requiring Blockfusion to apply for additional permits that “may take several months to process.”
