Subtitle tells the whole story:

> A man spent millions on an enormous plot of land near Reno. Now he wants to build a community based on the blockchain technology introduced by Bitcoin.

He could have joined up with the Bitcoin mining group in Wenatchee WA, where they spent millions building custom "mining pods" to house the ASICs.

I'm not sure what that has to do with this person planning a town.

They could have combined their similar goals and pooled their money.

What are their similar goals? This guy is planning a town, those other people were doing crypto currency mining.

> Every resident and employee will have what amounts to an Ethereum address, which they will use to vote on local measures and store their personal data.

Maybe repurpose the pods to hold ETH mining gear?

But you've caught me. I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. Congratulations, CyberDildonics, you've won HN today!

I don't think anyone wins when someone adds nonsense to a thread that then needs to be corrected.
