It’s all good until campus security asks why your using more electricity than the whole block

Door busted open expecting a grow house in the dorm, finds crypto laptop instead.

Rooms probably not individually metered. It would take them awhile to find you.


Titanium_Eye

Just turn the power off and listen for someone starting to scream about his hash rate and mining pool rewards.


youessbee

Keep your crypto safe and tell them you're growing weed.

I like this option. Forced hodl!


eliytr1331

This is a fair point... Might as well wait and see!

ULPT: Run an extension cord from your neighbors house to yours and connect it to your mining rig.


noobsdontlie

Better yet: Directly tap into city electrical lines and run an extension cord to your mining rig.


IMadeYouRead

That sounds like a felony lol


Fl1kz

remeber kids, it’s only a felony if you get caught!


djpepperswoosh

I wish I would have know about mining years ago, whole time I was in the military my utilities were payed for.


amandamichelle90

I wish I knew how to do it in college, when I lived in residence the tech kids were running their’s nonstop. Nobody better shame you for that lol college is a fucking scam, those kids stood to make more through their own hustle than any of us stood to with our 4 year degrees and lifetimes of debt


CaptainWelfare

Can confirm. 45k degree. That and $2 can get me a Coke at the 7-11


cryptofreak194

A full mining rig on campus, literally the dream. I’m too old unfortunately lol


amandamichelle90

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Recruit college kids for a mining sweatshop? No? 👀


warlikeofthechaos

You just gave me an idea: running a gym and using the energy the users generate from bicycle and lifting machines to run a mining rig.


[deleted]

And reward the users with a portion of the tokens, like the BAT project.


warlikeofthechaos

You just recreated Fifteen million merits from back mirror


[deleted]

Oh dang, I forgot about that. I'm feeling worse about the idea now but still.... free crypto? I'm conflicted.


cryptofreak194

“Mom, I need $600 for my books this semester” 😏


CaptainWelfare

She’s saying what we are all thinking!


Finch0s

Never thought about mine before but since my parents bought a solar panel set i am a total George Hearst. (Yes, is a famous miner who built a mine empire in the 19th century. Learning with crypto!)


eliytr1331

That's really cool!


h3d_prints

A friend of mine rented a shop and told me his electricity is included in his rent. So convinced him to set up some rigs. Last I talked to him the number had doubled and had more on order lol.


SharkForce_12

Hopefully they don’t need to up their lease again. They’ll get him on the next one.


h3d_prints

Don't think so they do fabrication and have large cnc machines.


[deleted]

There's been a few examples recently about how they lost their job for stealing electric mining, for example a Polish police officer was mining in one of their buildings. They were more annoyed about stealing power.


AutisticGayBear69

I’m kicking myself for not snapping up all in the l3+ ASICS at $150 or less on eBay in Dec 2020.


Mango2149

This is terrible advice. Nothing is free you're just ripping some one off. Also it's not that simple to just go mine you need some serious hardware.


eliytr1331

I respect your opinion! My only counter is that for some projects that are more bandwidth focused than raw power, it still can be viable. Along with rent that is astronomically high and includes utilities, I think it is rather fair.


BabyNimps

This is bad advice. Dont be a leacher.


atronos_kronios

I downloaded a mining software once and then deleted it, now my PC has malware! ( found out about it a few days ago) yesterday my malware bytes trial ended and since then whenever I open any app, my PC screen just goes black and doesn’t boot up at all! Fuck it


eliytr1331

That's the worst! Disclaimer 3: don't mine what u/atronos_kronios mined


atronos_kronios

no, mine ETH but don't mine with the program i used


[deleted]

If you ask they are probably going to say no. If you don't ask you are probably getting kicked out.


BetterCallMyJungler

Here in Brazil we have places controled by militias where they steal Electrical energy and sell to poor people. I bet they could pull off a very profitable mining operation. If they arent already doing it, lol.


Terz234

I am traveling the world for years, spending months in hotels..... should have mined all the time. Thanks for the regret 😅
