Bad idea.

1. How good is the physical security in your office e.g. gatepass for equipments coming in/out? You might be able to bring it inside the office but you may not be able to take it out.
2. That might be construed as "stealing" company resources. You bringing in a personal equipment and use company utilities for personal gain - electricity, space or computer space. You'll possibly face HR sanctions if your personal equipment is found out.
3. You'll introdude risk to your companies network infrastructure, opening network ports for mining, etc. What if a malware infects your company's computer/network system thru your miner?

If you are in control of your test PC lab and test internet network that is totally separate from production network and with no need to bring in a personal equipment, better, as that would minimize the risk to your company network and risk of an equipment being personally associated to you as well. Just run a test, not a miner running 24x7.

I really thought it was a Bad Idea but I'm an IT support in a corporate office and they issued me a new Desktop Tower that can be inserted high end GPU. What if I'm gonna bring just a single GPU card regardless on any noise of fans' running all day long or even 24/7.

Well if you can fit multiple cards in a single desktop case and noise is not a problem i'd say go for it. Idk if you have something like maintenance guy that could check that, but that could be potential problem

Hello Guys,
I have an idea of bringing my own Mining Rig to my office/workplace to free my Electric Bill but I just want to know if anybody in this forum is doing the same way.
What problems did you encounter?

Talk to me please.. THanks

It's a great idea but internet connection in my office is filtered. It doesn't connect to any coin servers or whatever they have.
The wallet doesn't get synced and minergate like app also don't take the proxy connection.

My company was in IT field, it have many filters and firewall rules, proxy, etc.

What I did was, I use a PC at home create a VPN server. Because of my lab can access the internet so I set up my rig as a VPN cilent so it can access the minning pool. You may have some technical knowledge. Of course, you are playing the hide and seek game with the IT department so be prepare for consequence.

P/s sorry for my bad English, not my native.

Bad Idea for you I think its good for me and maybe I can allow myself bringing and doing IT or hardware stuff since I though people around me have no idea about crypto currency and mining etc. If I'm going to bring a Rig then they would have no idea what I'm up to.. LOL

He probably lives in some 3rd world dump where there are no such strict policies Cheesy

Judging by your posts here you are not much better.

@OP

If company you work for is doing something IT related, it could be a problem just like Alpha0One1 said, because it could be security risk for them. If it's not IT related, and they have some spare room, sure why not.

Yes I do, thats how I know

I didnt encounter such situation on some people on this forum on having this kind of plans on which bringing mining rigs on their workplace. Its possible but depending if the company or boss would let you do the thing considering that mining operations do really produce heat and noise which would really be a big problem on a busy workplace.Many employees will surely got angry because of such hassle for sure.

I thought of this as well. I planned of bringing my GPU in my office and place it inside the server room where only a few people comes in and they come in that room 1 or 2 times a day only. Server rooms have a good ventilation to make sure servers are running at room temperature. The only problem with doing this is if you get caught and the management doesn't like the idea of bringing extra stuff that will eat electricity. Check if its against the company rules and whats the penalty if you get caught. It might not be worth it if the sanction is termination.

Loads of people do this.

Most obvious problem is heat and by virtue of the fans you will have noise issues depending on location.

Not really much else.
