It appears that Indiana has not hosted any major Bitcoin conferences in recent years, including 2017 or 2023, but cryptocurrency activity has been significant in other ways, especially in mining operations within the state. The first large-scale Bitcoin mining facility was set up in Merom, Indiana, next to a coal-fired power plant in 2022, creating an impact on the local power grid and environmental landscape. This mining facility, run by AboutBit LLC, has raised some community concerns due to its high energy consumption and limited local job creation, as well as its reliance on coal energy, which has environmental implications for the area.

If you’re looking for Bitcoin events or conferences, you might find more activity in nearby major hubs like Chicago or other larger cities that frequently host cryptocurrency conferences. For future Indiana events, sites like AllEvents or Meetup could be helpful, as they sometimes list smaller, community-oriented blockchain meetups or events in Indianapolis.

Let me know if you need more on any specific aspect!

Yes, but I would caution against running your node on a shitty hardware with no UPS. You MUST have mirrored drives with sufficient capacity and of a very high quality. Many lost millions of sats by going cheap on LN hardware
