Harvard student caught using Harvard computing cluster to mine DOGE!!!

I love it!  Someone at Harvard used their Odyssey cluster to mine DOGEcoin briefly.  Only one minor problem -- they got caught.

If I were in a position to put mass amounts of computer power to work for my own personal gain, I definitely would!

Well, I'm glad it was just a slap on the wrist.
Sneaky bastard though.

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.

Tough, guess the temptation was too strong to resist

not sure how much hash the cpu cluster could generate for a scrypt coin but he got caught in less than 2 hours, couldn't even make a full bitcoin out of this LOL

On the other hand you could've been rich

It would be interesting to know the amount of Doge he mined using the Odyssey cluster with the current difficulty.
