Think it’s more likely that miners fight the tax. Win in the Supreme Court if it goes that far - or every data center gets taxed. Goby’s big tech Allie’s get real angry when you tax their cloud data centers simply for operating.

that’s an interesting point. it does seem questionably constitutional to impose a tax on a private activity of a good that has already been paid for. the economic transaction in question is for “power” not “hashing”.
I realise, btw, that trying to be reasonable about this is probably the wrong approach, but it at least makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
