Siskiyou County has no ordinance specific to cryptocurrency or blockchain mining. A commercial mine is treated like any data center - an unlisted industrial use for the Limited Industrial (M-L) District, subject to a use permit, CEQA review, and the General Plan noise standard.
Unincorporated Siskiyou County does not mention cryptocurrency, bitcoin, or blockchain mining anywhere in its code - a search of the County Code returns no crypto provisions. Because a mine is a room of servers and cooling equipment, it is regulated exactly like a data center: an unlisted industrial use best fitting the Limited Industrial (M-L) District, requiring a use permit and CEQA review. Its cooling and any generators must satisfy the General Plan Noise Element compatibility standard at nearby homes. Small-scale hobby mining on personal equipment inside a residence falls under ordinary residential and home-occupation rules, not industrial zoning.
No crypto-specific penalty exists. A commercial mining facility built outside an industrial district, without a use permit, or exceeding its CEQA-based noise conditions faces county zoning, permit, and nuisance enforcement until it conforms.
