summary
Explains that the EIA’s emergency survey gets legally suspended after Riot Platforms sues — OMB had allotted 30 minutes compliance time while miners spent ~10+ hours compiling responses — and urges concrete tactics: litigate when facts favor you, engage regulators with grid programs like controlled load response, perform strict counterparty checks because OFAC strict liability can trigger sanctions, avoid custody to sidestep securities rules, and always physically inspect hosts and contracts.
