Topic: mining will become illegal (Read 603 times)

No .. im talking about the OP , a person who trying to hide his 1500watts setup from the government
And Im talking about that 1500watts 24/7 , what can get the power company attention , bc that extra 1500watts/hour 24/7 is probably way more than what regular user/homeowner/renter using in his area.
If you growing weeds , police showing up at your door bc your electricity usage become way over average

For all your "more than" BS , the only thing I can say, just LISTEN THIS SONG , and concentrate on the lyrics , i hope you understand what is this song about , why is a perfect match for you LOL ,  I have some doubt about you, bc you have some serious issue to understanding a few things in this topic , but ...... don't give up my friend, one day you might going to be able to read between lines , and one day ... maybe one day ... you going to understand what is the OP main problem , one day .... maybe one day you going to be able to give him some helpful information , suggestions, but what I see ,  is going to take some times, till you growing up to this task  LOL

in my country mining is becoming illegal
any ideas on how to rebuild my rigs to be hidden or to look like a home pc
thanks

as an answer if i get caught it will be jail time for 1-3 years
they don't do helicopters or thermal imaging just someone reports me , so i just want to hide if someone reports me and they get on my door they can't find them or they find just a normal pc

from "way more than" to now "more than"  
the chief of police: boys, anyone who breaches 10k usage of electricity may it be 0.1 or 0.001 we will serve the search warrant.
LOL

some ppl just really need to go back to the elementary school , and start again everything from the beginning , paying a little more attention to they teachers ... especially about reading , and understanding questions , issues !!!  LOL

The OP is worried about that search warrant  , he is worried about officers , government ppl showing up at his door with the warrant to search for his miners ...
He is even worry about if someone reports him and based on that report police can go to his house and  search for his miner(s) .

That's how "Some" government cracking down on home miners , based on they electricity usage after the mining ban ! yes if they have more than average usage of electricity!
I know its a really hard and difficult  to understand for some members here  , that's why they need to start from the beginning  LOL



DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS TRYING TO SAY , WHAT HE IS WORRY ABOUT , WHY HE IS OPENED THIS TOPIC
Or do you really need some help to find out what is his topic is all about
His main concern is that search warrant !!! i know is probably hard for you to understand , so I'm trying to help you a little bit LOL

Way more than? Way over average? These are your figures.. 13k, 11k, 10k,14k.

Police: the average this that, the typical this that... Here's your search warrant. LOL

you are talking to crypto miners. we aren't average and we aren't typical LOL

You are one of the luckiest one 0.049$/kwh ... thats what i would like to have LOL
50/1008=0.049 , so you paying 4.9 cents/kwh ( 0.049$/kwh)  with tax and everything in a residential are ... wondering what part of the world are you from , definitely not from the US (link) based on that electricity price you just mentioned
Tried to found out where are you from based on THIS electricity price chart (link) , but to be honest w you , i wasn't successful

So your AC compressor is running 24/7 all year long , your " few light bulbs" are on for 24/7 all year long , and your fridge compressor is running 24/7 all year long   , and all this happening in a small apartment right ? LOL
So your continuous power usage in that "small apartment" , just from the AC / Fridge / few light , is 1500watts 24/7 all year long,  and using just this 3 things in that apartment, you paying around 133$ / months (calculated with 12cents/kwh) just for the AC /  few lamps / and a fridge ?

1500 watts 24/7 is not much for industrial usage that's for sure , but for a small / reg size apartment ?
That's 36kwh/day (4.32$) , 252kwh/week (30.24$) , 1080kwh/months (129.6$) , 13104kwh/year (1572$)
Compare this usage with a world wide average ( especially for a small / reg size apartment ) , its not small at all , its actually more than the US typical household power consumption / year , and doubled what is the average in bigger European countries household power consumption / year .

From 2010 data :
In the US typical household power consumption is about 11,700 kWh each year, in France it is 6,400 kWh, in the UK it is 4,600 kWh and in China around 1,300 kWh.  The global average electricity consumption for households with electricity was roughly 3,500 kWh in 2010.

From 2015 data :
The average U.S. household consumes about 11,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year.However, electricity use in homes varies across regions of the United States and across housing types.

From 2020 data :
In 2020, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,715 kilowatthours (kWh), an average of about 893 kWh per month. Louisiana had the highest annual electricity consumption at 14,407 kWh per residential customer, and Hawaii had the lowest at 6,446 kWh per residential customer.

As I mentioned in my earlier post , some basic knowledge and google can be your best friend before posting LOL

252 kwh/week =1008 kwh/month
This is an approximate electricity consumption in my apartment, and I pay about $ 50 a month for it.
Such electricity consumption can be provided by 2 conventional room air conditioners.
In private houses, it is allowed to consume up to 15,000 watts per hour, so for me this is a very small value.

1500 watts ,  24 hours per day , 7 days per week , 365 days/52 weeks per year is not a small amount of electricity !!!
36kwh/day , 252 kwh/week , 13104 kwh/year , and beside this usage he/she already using the average amount of electricity for that area , so its a extra
That 13104kw/year , can be around 1600$/year in average us electricity price , and i would not call that as a small amount of electricity usage even in a hot country

For education purpose  HERE is a LINK or HERE (older stat)  about average electricity usage from all over the word , especially I would suggest you to check out those " hot countries " usage vs Canada ! You will be surprised   and you might can learn something new
.... And don't forget , google can be your best friend before posting something and want to make sure you posting the right information not some BS ...

1500 watts per hour is a small amount of electricity consumption for an apartment in a very hot country.
Problems arise if neighbors write a statement to the police on you, then the police will already know what to look for, or they can then come with checks.
The most important thing is that no one should see this equipment.

1500w is small, you can still fit ~3000w in a THHN AWG 14 at 220V.

1500w is just around 1.5hp of AC a refrigerator and a few lights.

average heavy duty extension cords are rated at 2500w LOL.

Probably your power company going to report you , because you are going to use to much electricity , way over the average household usage around your location.
Doesn't matter where or how you hiding your rig , or camouflaged your setup.

Im in the USA, but when i started to use my home mining setup , with around 150A power draw , few months later some officers was knocking on my door , and asked me about what's going on , do i growing weeds ? so i give them a tour in my small mining room , after that , never heard about them again ... later in the coming months , years , Power company persons come to my house a , bc the of the smart meter at my location reported overheating

Each of your 1060 GTX , with the right tune can draw somewhere between 70-90 watts , its just the card itself , so add few extra watts / rigs for motherboard/  cpu memory etc...
I'm assuming you have 2 rig with 8 cards each , so each rig is pulling around 600-750 watts , so in your case that's a max 1500 watts or 1.5KW / hours.

so if those agents going to your house , and your rigs hidden , you probably need to explain to them why is your power usage is high

Solution No 1 :
Solution During winter time :
Install a space heater ( but never use it ), if there is a winter in your country , and tell those agents , you feel cold all the times and your space heater must be on all the time
( actually your mining rig basically is a space heater , so somehow you will be honest with those agents
Solution during summer time :
Install a window AC unit around 1500w rated power usage, but never use it , if those agents going to your house, tell them that's the ac what drawing that much power ...

As some other members mentioned , if your country really want to crack down on miners , sooner or later they going to analyze your IP traffic log , and from there they easily can find out , you are connected to a mining pool , so go ahead and set up a good vpn connection with a good firewall , use pfsense or opensense for self build. use different DNS that your ISP using as a default ...

And after all this , ask yourself a question , all this worth it to mine with 12 1060GTX , risk your freedom , spend some times in jail , or it would be a better solution to sell your cards , your rigs , and buy some coin and hold it , sell it when you need some money or when coin prices are up .

Solution No 2 :
Go completely off the gird , detailed info, suggestions HERE , use solar panel , wind turbines , but make sure you have a good cell phone connection , so you can use a mobile hotspot to connect your rigs
