So I found that the only thing stopping you from making a profit w/ BTC mining is how much it cost to mine BTC vs the amount of $ electricity cost so is BTC mining in college a good idea? B/c you pay room and board as a single price and not the electricity bill directly
It may be free but I bet someone will notice and complain/cut you off if your rig generates too much noise, heat, electricity or is deemed a fire risk
this -only do it if you can pass off that its for heating.
That won't work in most apartments as they have central heating. Dorms heat by floor or unit depending on how new it is.
Most likely you can be honest and say it's computer equipment. That being said I would not want to mine in my college rooms. I was lucky and always had other places to run them.
