The measure cleared a conference committee and would also create a blockchain dispute docket while stating that mining and staking are not securities.
New Hampshire advanced its "Blockchain Basic Laws" measure after it cleared a conference committee yesterday. The bill would protect the right to self-custody, run nodes (computers that help validate a blockchain network), and use digital assets as payment. It would also establish a "Blockchain Dispute Docket" and clarify that mining and staking (locking crypto to support a network) are not securities.
