Topic: Covert Mining in "Ant Hole" (Read 4438 times)
LOL, nice pic
I must say I am sad they never posted pics of the Antminer in a crawl space. I really wanted to see it.
Don't feel bad. He sent me a pic of the crawlspace and the miners. I'll share it with you guys

Some of these comments are cancer. Really some of you need better things to do with your time then to come in and bash a thread like this. I also have pondered this as it is the like major gating factor in profits for mining (*shakes head* Idiots). Iv'e also come up with a grey area legal method of tricking out a meter from not recording a defined circuit.

I guess I don't really know how to respond. Folks come to these forums all the time with claims of "free electricity", with dreams of riches in their head. I just wanted to make sure the original poster was aware of the risks associated with this. If that's "cancer", then I will happily move along and never comment here again.
Sorry to have clouded things here with a dose of reality.
Well that's all well and good if you wish to have the appearance of a parent pointing a finger at a child and scolding them. I read the OP as he probably understood all those risks BEFORE he took the action of setting it up. Since its already set up , we would have to assume he's done that due duty no?
In any case. I DO know how to get free electricity. Its grey area not really illegal. PM me if anyone's interested.

All you said is that he could be fired if caught. I'm don't think anyone thought you were calling him a douchebag or anything similar. Just facts. He's probably aware of it too. I think the cancer post was directed to others.

I'm posting this with an anonymous username 'just in case'
Basically, I crawled into the crawlspace at work, ran some ethernet cabling down there, and now have 2 antminer s3s and a sp20 jackson running in a secret underground bitcoin mine. I even wore a flashlight hat when I went down...
Hopefully the dusty crawlspace doesn't choke them out...

I say go for it. Don't claim they're yours and keep your mouth shut about BTC in general. See if they get to "work" there longer than you do. If you retire at 65 and they're still humming, well good job
Transfer ownership to your kids. If they get busted then kudos for the IT team for doing their job. Just frown and tsk tsk as they carry them out, and mutter something about scum drinking from the company pot, then get back to your job like nothing happened.
Haha. Probably gonna get discovered and fired soon. In any case, good luck!
Could be pretty hard / impossible to prove it was him.
Unless he is the only bitcoiner in the office and goes on about bitcoin than gg.
Here in the US, the bar for firing somebody is pretty low. Proof generally isn't required. Plan on losing your mining hardware as well, unless you want to claim it, then it's owner is no longer in doubt, is it? In many companies office supply "theft" is better tolerated at a small scan than Bitcoin mining.
Well OBVIOUSLY if he claimed the hardware was his they'd know it was him.......................................................... why in the shits would someone do that.. That comment I..
If no one in his office knows he is into bitcoin how would one think it was him?
He is taking a risk..
Free power with the risk of losing your hardware.

^^ lol! now thats funny
Just thought I'd ask but are you Amish? Reason I ask is because a lot of them steal electricity around where I live. They've been caught plenty of times.
This is one of the Worst idea's in the long, sad history of bad ideas.....
It's not that terrible.. well.. actually..
That dust is like GG for the miners... sooooo.. maybe it is lol.

so this is how you guy call if "i have free electricity", now everything is explained, i always wonders what was the way to steal it lol
but anyway with such low numbers of miners, it still pointless to do it, mining is not even about free electricity anymore, it's about going big in the first place

Don't steal electricity.
Hahaha...
Is it stealing if u don't get caught? lol
i think i read something like this somewhere before.
2 IT admins started mining and because they were admins only they could see the data
i think they made like $12 before someone found out and they got sacked
i think it was a trainee admin
If they were overly good at their jobs they would have received a warning, good admins aren't easy to hire.2 IT admins started mining and because they were admins only they could see the data

Sometimes company executives feel it necessary to "make an example" of particular poor behavior. Being good at you job will usually help, but not always.

I have my miners in a crawlspace, but it is in my home. Just make sure you have that circuit on a GFCI or that "Ant Hole" may be your permanent hole and not quite 6 feet deep. My home is on a slope and most of my "crawlspace" is more of a "standplace" and its a good spot for the miners since I don't have to hear them and it is cool down there. I will have to throw a dehumidifier down there once it gets warmer though.
Don't steal electricity.
Haha, sounds alike a bit of effort. A friend of mine snuck a miner in the roof at his uni for about a day lol.
yeaaaa something doesnt sound right here haha
Your ICT guy doesn't monitor the network? He will see packages on an unusual port..
