A local jail offers free room and board plus free electricity.  Would you go to jail (voluntarily) with your s5 so you can mine for free?

I heard people would go to jail for stealing electricity to mine.  I think it is better to go to jail so you can mine, instead of going to jail because you are stealing electricity.

I do not like your post.  BTW you ask a lot of us a lot of questions. In various threads.

Are you doing research on miners?

I have too many miners already.  I am just bored so I posted my questions in the mining speculation for fun and speculation.
The post asked for ethics.

Free electricy, but your lifetime wasted. Also your name would appeared on the crime record, for bitcoin.
Also the police shouldn't let you bring the miner.

And there's a lot of better way to generate bitcoin other than going to jail

Why don't you try it? I just find this question is stupid, no offense.

It would ruin a lot of careers.  In no way is jail worth free electricity.  Even if you made massive profits... you giving away your freedom and hopefully a clean record would be horrible decision.

I pay a pricey electric bill each month to mine.  To me it's worth it to make ROI.   

Most "free" electricity the whole story is not being told IE a lot of cases kids with parents paying.  Only situation I lived in ever with true free electricity was student living and it had a cap of 25 dollars per month PER roomate.  So I was not a jerk and did not mine or my roomates would have owed more each month if i used the above average.

Trolling or not?

What kind of question is that?

I think it was partial trolling.  It should have been speculating what some are doing to get free electricity.  Or amount of free electricity we think there could be out there that miners are using.

Instead it was a question that has a obvious anwser.   No one should pick jail. 

I beg to differ.  Here are the economics of going to jail voluntarily vs. staying homeless:

1.  Jail = free food and drinks.    Homeless you have to beg for every meals.
2.  Jail = free shelter with air condition.                Homeless  you have to sleep under the bridge.
3.  Jail = free education.  You can study to become a lawyer or doctor.     Homeless - no library to study.
4.  Jail = free mining (not with s5 but with a usb miner)    .    Homeless- you are being mined by jerks


There are so many advantages for being in jail vs. being homeless.  

I speculate that  the homeless people should voluntarily pick jail over being homeless.

Lol... The best advantages as listed and also the best advice I have seen so far...

Yes, I do believe that being in jail would get you those things for free, but do you think that you will be left with any career for your life ahead after coming out from Jail???

I don't think that you like to roam at different places, don't you like the freedom of meeting new people everyday instead of just sitting under some shelter that too air-conditioned??? :P

It's really hell ya.. being a prisoner. But anyway, i'm ready to go to jail for mining. because, some advantages are also mentioned  for being in prison  :P

Mmm but back to the topic, in any country were you live ask someone in streets what is Bitcoin, they will make this face  ???

Now ask the same to a homeless person, if you have lucky that he/she don't scream to you ¡The end is near! of course he/she won't know.

Personally I won't became homeless or go to Jail for some coins, live has more value for me..

honestly,

if am allowed to mine and am given 5000 T/hs,
why not?

some one may decide you have a pretty face or a nice butt.

Even if you are into that type of sex some places may decide  you should do 5 guys a day. Not the one you like.
While not every jail has wide spread rape and or sexual assaults  many do.  BTC is not worth that particular set of  risks for me.

this is maybe the weirdest question, that I ever read on this forum. Is even hard to think about it..

::) ::) ::)

I think this confirms the trolling.   This is not speculation but trying to shock others into replying, IE trolling..

considering my figure and visage. i would not have any problem in going to jail :D

Yeah I am 58 and overweight. I do not think many would think me attractive,  But frankly I like my freedom.

 I posted here right away because this op has asked more then one very bizarre question  on site.  I actually think it is all to promote his signature which last I looked has nothing to do with bitcoins.

No because you don't get to bring things in with you.  So unless you hide an S2 in your ass you aint getting it in.

Ok, it is ok to ask bizarre question... because this is about speculation.  I have to have fun too, you know. 

If you hide an s2 in your ass, then it is not an s2 anymore... it is an ass2.

Why not make every inmate a miner to mine?  Would that change society? Yes!  

Why are people so excited when they heard of a mineable toaster or microwave (21 Inc), but not a mineable prisoner?  

Well, when you are homeless and seeing and hearing gods talking to you then jail or not ... it is the same.... career or not, it is the same.... sane or not, it is the same.

Then stop being homeless and get back to work, you lazy bum.
You got free meal, shelter, education, electricy, but you sacrifice your freedom. It's like bird dying in a cage.

Hell, I won't sacrifice my freedom to mine bitcoin. There's another better way than this

You can't eat money.  Why even bother going to jail by trying to mine to make money - you might as well just try to get whatever you want for free and go to jail for shoplifting

Oh ok... Now I understood why you said that, now I understood your agony behind those words...

I vote for - the weirdest in this forum

This...

There's no way you could get mining equipment into a prison. They won't even let you bring in a paperback book.

Drugs though, you can get plenty of drugs in jail. Just not hashrate.

Not that I have any direct experience with this or anything :)

I don't know what prison would ever let someone bring in bitcoin miners.  This is a pretty silly question.  There's other ways to get free electricity than going to jail.

besides this you need a vast area to set a big farm, you can't certainly do it in a prison where the biggest area is a small arena for breakfast and other random activities for prisoners

problem with mining right now, isn't only about electricity anymore, is also about space, and temperature

Yes, if you go to jail then who know if you will allowed to take miners or other required stuff with you.and if you take them then will they allow you ti mine in jail, i don't think they will allow this

Heck no I wouldn't.  My freedom and years of my lifespan are not worth any amount of "free" anything!  I would rather work for what I would like to have.   :)  You also get some sense of accomplish with it that is a quite nice feeling at times.

This is a strange question that's wrong on so many levels.

No, I never want to go to jail for anything and hopefully never will, for something as stupid as for free electricity to mine bitcoin with an S5 is crazy! That'll produce 0.01btc a day ( $2.45 at todays rate ).

I know people that have been to jail and have visited some of them and I can wait to get out at the end of the visit, actually being in there would be my worst nightmare.

Careful, not everybody lives in US and there are countries where jail offers .. very bad conditions. Most of the points of your "nice" list may not be available.
Also, I am not convinced that you'd be allowed to carry such personal items in a jail, like a miner, even USB miner. Where would you connect it anyway, you'll get your laptop too? LOL! Is that jail connected to the internet?!

So yeah, I'd say that your question was not well enough thought on. And no, I am not stupid enough to waste my life for a few coins.
I know that the daily job is the modern slavery, I know that some think of it as prison, but I have some free time with my family and the job can pay for more coins than I'd get by mining, really...

This is a complete retarded question.

Move on

Hey, have you heard of go to jail and collect $200?
