I have been getting high usage notices from my utility company, they aren't going do anything as long as I pay but they have noticed.

I'm sorry, but if this happens at all, it could only happen in Yutzville USA.
Why?
1) You need a warrant to enter anyone's abode.
2) If the morons are teeing off on high electrical usage, how do they know it's not an electric vehicle, a guy using an arc welder etc?
The lowest useful charging port for a Chevy Volt or a Tesla is a 240V 50A recepticle. Tesla's have a special 80A charging port.
What happens in a rural area where only electricity is run out to your home?

a very high utility can warrant probable cause which will allow them to enter, they will prolly think your growing pot but instead your mining. while its not illegal, if the irs is tipped off he will be screwed, taxes man btw an electric car isn't going to make you have a power bill like you would be mining, your not charging the car 24/7 rofl that would just be stupid

ok i ll have to dig deeper for his stories then. if no limitation on usage, i will prefer that too!

Utility companies are private not public.
you pay for what you use. Why would they care.
If you use more than the internal electrical wiring can handle it will either stop if more A fuse will kick in, or in bad wiring case - wires may get hot and eventually you risk fire.
You can calculate. Just go and check out your fuse for the place. Usually electrical outlets are on 15A which can be loaded constantly around 80%, which would be roughly 1440 watts. That assumes nothing else is connected on the same fuse. Sometimes 1 fuse can be for two rooms, etc.
Assuming residential use and 120volts
I think there is something else to the story which your friend is not telling you.

I'm calling BS. Having a high electric bill and using electricty you paid for to mine Crypto is not a crime in the US.

I was talking to a friendlenet and his friends' friend who was ramping up home electricity usage for cryptocoin mining and far exceeding the normal usage. The legend says at some point, public officials took a notice in his usage behavior and stormed into his dwelling (ok not actually storming because you'd need warrant but you get the idea 
) and demanded to stop his mining operation.
Now since I started doing mining I thought to be careful not to go overboard, perhaps shooting for about increase in 20-30% otherwise daily usage. Do you think this range is OK or I can safely go more?
My summer time energy usage is about 200kw per month (severely limiting) and winter time shoots up to 800kw (for that perhaps i can dedicate about 400kw for mining and then reduce my winder wattage to about 600kw by turning off all useless electricity consuming stuff and burning wood.
Thanks.,
