So would be good to have some tech where if some clown were to plug it in, you could get a fix on the location. And then send in the feds Grin

GPS module, but I guess it is too late for design changes

Maybe Gen 2 can have it

This sounds interesting. Is it something you could attach yourself, to the case or something?

Yes, you can just place it/attach it inside. Doesn't even have to be connected to anything - it's autonomous.

Are there any that work off a regular computer PSU? Like some kind of a PCB you could attach, that might look like it's part of the rest of the machine (rather than a box that says "GPS Tracker" Grin

)

I'm not talking about a few graphics cards here. An $8000 bitcoin miner. Surely it makes sense to protect your investment from theft? And if it is stolen, to give yourself the best chance of recovering it?

Exhausting as it's been KnC have silently been creating their own network of satellites orbiting the globe to provide precise, and accurate real time feedback of the miner positioned right next to you;

Perhaps alternatively you could just get a chain and anchor the thing? I do like the tile thing though.

Anyone buying one of these thought about security? Like, what to do if their miner is stolen by some bum who breaks in and thinks it's a fancy desktop PC?

It is called good locks, alarm system, and insurance. Make sure you get a separate rider. Most homeowner/renter insurance policies by default have limits on high value items and computers tend to have some ridiculous low limit. Given the economic lifespan of these devices is likely not more than a year (maybe two is you want to be naively optimistic) insurance is likely going to be a better deal.
