Yup. I just learned this as well while inadvertently missing out on a 'mining bitcoin with micro nuclear reactors in space' session I was invited to.

Sure, you might be able to go around a lot of regulation, but keeping the reactors cool would be complicated, unless in space means some non-Earth planetary body. Titans atmosphere or the oceans on Europa are pretty cold. Of course that way the bitcoin transaction processing time would get even longer due to light speed delay.
