I'm looking into building a computer cluster for rendering 3D models and for simulating physics, and I'm considering using the idle time for mining bitcoins. My biggest concern is... How the hell do I stop someone from stealing the computers or from the cops thinkging I'm doing something illegal??
I'm afraid someone will steal the equipment (even though it'll weigh 700lb+ total) just because it looks expensive. There have been a lot of ghetto looking people moving into my area and I really don't want my computers stolen.
I'm afraid the police will think I'm upto something illegal because my electric bill will rise significantly. I heard rumors about the police raiding people's homes because of the increase in energy consumption. I'm sure the police wouldn't think twice about raiding my home, because there were two other houses in my neighborhood that have been raided because they were drug dealers (one guy had bombs and my next door neighbors were the sinaloa drug cartel running a 34 million dollar operation). I really don't wanna get raided & I REALLY don't want my computers confiscated or something.
Any ideas??
I have a few other questions, too, like cooling, but I'll save those for later
