A couple people reported this post to me. Honestly, I can't see anything wrong with it. Don't steal resources from your employers, the rest of us will be more than happy to turn you in.
At best, that post was off topic and abusive.
My PC is on 24/7 anyway, and having it mine while I work isn't consuming any more resources or reducing my productivity. After hours, it's perhaps using a little more power than it would otherwise.
I don't even know why I'm explaining or defending myself to you people, frankly it's none of your damn business.
It became other peoples business when you asked other people to help you steal from your employer.
Unless you have asked your employers permission after first explaining that it will use a substantial amount of electricity then it is stealing.
Hashing on GPU's uses way more electricity than one would on a normal work day and night (24 hours a day as you mentioned above).
Bitcoin has had many hurdles because of nefarious people and this kind of activity is another example of something that can turn people to thinking that it (Bitcoin) is bad.
The reason you are explaining/defending yourself is that you need to justify to yourself that you are doing nothing wrong despite knowing that it is wrong.
Exactly. We don't encourage you stealing employer resources here in this community.
Helpful hint for stealing from employers : instead of mining ( slow stealing ) just grab a spare RAM stick from the computer. Or steal a PSU and sell it on eBay or just plain steal the whole desktop and claim aliens abducted it !
