It would be interesting to know the amount of Doge he mined using the Odyssey cluster with the current difficulty.

One of the technicians in my old lab used a cluster on campus to mine BTC back in the day, I'm surprised he never got caught. I'd had access to supercomputer clusters for a while now, I'd thought of it but it around when Litecoin came out but it always seemed like a really stupid idea because of the chance of expulsion if I got caught.
On the other hand you could've been rich

not sure how much hash the cpu cluster could generate for a scrypt coin but he got caught in less than 2 hours, couldn't even make a full bitcoin out of this LOL

Tough, guess the temptation was too strong to resist

Yeah, totally not worth it, specially with a good school. It looks bad to other schools and employers knowing you got expelled.

Well, I'm glad it was just a slap on the wrist.
Sneaky bastard though.

I love it! Someone at Harvard used their Odyssey cluster to mine DOGEcoin briefly. Only one minor problem -- they got caught.

If I were in a position to put mass amounts of computer power to work for my own personal gain, I definitely would!
