“D.G., a resident of Anchorage, started bitcoin ‘mining’ two years ago. ‘Virtual mining’ is required to create bitcoins. D.G. says he broke into the alternative currency business at a good time. D.G. would only speak with the Daily News on the promise of anonymity. Like many bitcoin users, he considers his anonymity of paramount importance. What’s at risk, he said, is his mining infrastructure — the computers he calls his ‘farm’ — and the safety of his family, several of whom are also bitcoin ‘miners.’ ‘It wouldn’t be any different if I had a gold mine in my backyard,’ he explained.”
