Title: Harvard student caught using Harvard computing cluster to mine DOGE!!! Post by: timk225 on February 22, 2014, 03:25:46 AM I love it! Someone at Harvard used their Odyssey cluster to mine DOGEcoin briefly. Only one minor problem -- they got caught.

Sneaky bastard though. Title: Re: Harvard student caught using Harvard computing cluster to mine DOGE!!! Post by: tacotime on February 22, 2014, 05:41:39 AM One of the technicians in my old lab used a cluster on campus to mine BTC back in the day, I'm surprised he never got caught. I'd had access to supercomputer clusters for a while now, I'd thought of it but it around when Litecoin came out but it always seemed like a really stupid idea because of the chance of expulsion if I got caught.

Yeah, totally not worth it, specially with a good school. It looks bad to other schools and employers knowing you got expelled.Title: Re: Harvard student caught using Harvard computing cluster to mine DOGE!!!
