I live in a federal school environment, and as a result, we have free-constant electrical supply, which I was expecting to put to good use by mining bitcoin with.
Here's the question(s): Is there a website where I can buy used mining equipment at a low cost? And, if I intend to purchase all of the essential equipment using this technique, what is the estimated cost?
It would also be helpful if you could provide me with a list of the items I will require for mining. Thank you.

Ebay or the forum marketplace is the best place to find best deals for asic miner. @Philipma1957 is oldest member here that I know which mining Bitcoin for a long time. You can get tips or perhaps ask him if he have a spare asic mining rig to sell for you as stater. And, if I intend to purchase all of the essential equipment using this technique, what is the estimated cost?
The estimated cost will varies based on your target mining power for your setup. It would also be helpful if you could provide me with a list of the items I will require for mining. Thank you.
You can use this guide for setting up your Asic miner https://cryptominertips.com/bitcoin-asic-mining-guide/This is the most essential list the you will need for your Bitcoin mining. - Asic Miner
- Power Supply
- Internet Connection

The Russian Criminal Code has Article 165. "Causing property damage by deceit or breach of trust." Miners in Russia are judged by this article, and they do not steal electricity, but only mine in their homes and pay for electricity at a cheaper price. And in your country there are no similar articles in the criminal code? Electricity for schools in Russia is free, it is paid by the state, but if it is used for mining, then this is a crime. Think about the risks first, you can't hide the Asics, its works loudly.

I'm not sure if using an electricity that has been connected this way would still be considered as a crime?

I'm not sure if using an electricity that has been connected this way would still be considered as a crime? Lets start off easy. This is the bitcoin section so it should only be a bitcoin machine to follow rules exactly. So i recommend a used antminer s15 if you can provide 205-240 volts. It will do 22th and pull 1100 watts. on low. Since power is free it will earn about 1.32 usd in btc. Now if you get an antminer L3+ point it to nicehash it will convert the ltc+doge it mines directly into btc. it pulls 750 watts. It will make about 1.0 usd worth of btc. I can give you info on either one. I am USA based So if you are in USA 🇺🇸 I could sell you either one. But if you are in Russia I think I can’t safely ship to you. Customs would likely take it away.

You do know that your breakers are probably most likely not gonna handkle more then 1 or 2 and the room your in bro i'm sure if you can handle 130degrees F then maybe but anyways with what I just said if ur still wanting a single machine I can ship you one out on a whim that you'll be putting it in my solo pool.

A breach of trust will allow the energy company or school administration to sue you for damages from your mining idea. If you have electricity meters in your home and the controllers check the readings of the meters, then they will see an increase in electricity consumption.

I know you are not going to like what I am about ti say, but it's the truth, you live in a federal school environment, and you believe that no one is paying for the electricity that you believe to be free?
If you go out and buy an Asic miner because of this, remember that this move can lead to you evacuating from the premises, because you are doing nothing but stealing the electricity, there is no such thing as free electricity, someone, somewhere is paying the bills.
Once you begin this plan, there will come a time where they will notice, because the electricity bill will be higher, you don't know how much they are paying I believe, since you think the electricity is free, that's what will make you lose guard.

Even if there is no explicit regulation that bans you from doing that, I would not be surprised if they decide to cut you in one way or another. I mean, it is just common sense. If they know you consume a lot of electricity, they would get suspicious and would think what you've done is unethical at the very least. If your definition of meaningful is not limited to generating passive income, I can see other usages such as running a node, a NAS, and so on.

What is a "federal school environment" you also mentioned your dad's house, so I don't understand that. Putting that aside I'd say: - It's probably illegal to use free electricity (paid for the by the government / tax payers) to mine bitcoin - Even if it's not specifically illegally, once they discover that you're mining bitcoin (especially if you get more than just one mining machine) they're likely going to make you stop and possibly charge you with theft (doesn't have to be a law specifically about bitcoin, you can't open up a business with free electricity) - It's going to be loud, very loud. Especially if you have more than one mining machine. The noise is going to bother you and anyone else around the machines, you don't even have to be in the same room. The noise comes from the fans on the front and back of the ASIC mining machines. - You've also got to get rid of the heat produced by the mining machine(s) so you can't just put them in your closet (unless you rig up some airduct somehow and have somewhere to get rid of that air) and even at that it's still going to be hot, especially if you have more than one mining machine. - The electrically wiring in your house / school (or wherever) is going to have to be large enough (the gauge of the wire, or wire size) otherwise the amps the machines draw are going to burn up the wiring (more so if you have more than one mining machine). The breakers are also going to turn off if you pull too many amps (or more than the breaker is built for, example 20 AMPS). - You're going to have to mine on a bitcoin mining pool so here are two mining calculators (a simple one and a more advanced one): Simple: https://btc.com/tools/mini-mining-calculator?lang=enexample: hashrate of 14 TH/s (terahash) which is about what an Antminer s9 does (since electricity is free for your you don't need a new machine, and these are only about $100 on eBay nowadays) and you make about 0.000035 BTC every 24 hours (or about $0.09 dollars (or 90 cents)). Advanced (although you don't really need this because it's for calculating electricity and the price of the mining machine (new machine usually): https://btc.com/tools/mining-calculator

All legal stuff aside and assuming you got that handled, the real question is (how much power can you use?) This is will be the most important factor to decide what gears you should buy, buying just whatever is cheapest is a terrible idea, when you answer this question I can suggest a few models that would fit you best.

To connect video cards in a private house no more than 10 kilowatts per hour, I replaced all the wires with new ones from the power company poles to the meter and from the meter to mining farms. I found damaged sections of wires that could lead to a fire under load.

I always like it when I see people go into mining, and I hope you get all the guides and assistance you need here. But the fact that you live in a federal school environment, you have uninterrupted power supply and you want to capitalize on that and start mining? Don't be deceived into thinking the light is actually free, you better make provisions for electricity in your budget because the moment you start mining, words will start spreading and electricity officials will certainly come for you. So don't take the light issue likely, get everything sorted out before you venture into it.

Having good electricity is just one of the hurdles to mining. With Free electricity you will be able to achieve a lot, you have already skipped one hurdle, but there are other factors you need to consider and prepare for because there are always obstacles. School environments can have bad boys, your equipment can be stolen if you do not try to make sure that they are safe after purchasing them. Do not tell people that you are mining Bitcoins, do everything in secret.

School environments can have bad boys, your equipment can be stolen if you do not try to make sure that they are safe after purchasing them. Do not tell people that you are mining Bitcoins, do everything in secret. The problem is even more than OP pictured, if you are getting money through mining and you are in the midst of boys, they will want to know, if they find out what you are running 24/7 they will hate and this will even make the dream of you leaving the premises happens faster. You will be busted in no time, I was not even talking about this before, I was focusing on the electricity bill, and Bananington, there is nothing like free electricity, he is prepared to steal the electricity that someone is paying for, I am curious if OP knows the type of grid meter that's been used in the school. If it's the old school meter it's better, because there is no measurement on the electricity consumption, only bills monthly, but if it's the new digital like the meter that people use today in different countries there will be problems fast, because they are loading money on the meter using the meter recharge card, once the loaded amount that was supposed to be managed within a month or two finished in 2 weeks, there must be some explanation. The problem and unrest will start from there.

I live in a federal school environment, and as a result, we have free-constant electrical supply, which I was expecting to put to good use by mining bitcoin with.
Having good electricity is just one of the hurdles to mining. With Free electricity you will be able to achieve a lot, you have already skipped one hurdle, but there are other factors you need to consider and prepare for because there are always obstacles. School environments can have bad boys, your equipment can be stolen if you do not try to make sure that they are safe after purchasing them. Do not tell people that you are mining Bitcoins, do everything in secret. The problem is even more than OP pictured, if you are getting money through mining and you are in the midst of boys, they will want to know, if they find out what you are running 24/7 they will hate and this will even make the dream of you leaving the premises happens faster. You will be busted in no time, I was not even talking about this before, I was focusing on the electricity bill, and Bananington, there is nothing like free electricity, he is prepared to steal the electricity that someone is paying for, I am curious if OP knows the type of grid meter that's been used in the school. If it's the old school meter it's better, because there is no measurement on the electricity consumption, only bills monthly, but if it's the new digital like the meter that people use today in different countries there will be problems fast, because they are loading money on the meter using the meter recharge card, once the loaded amount that was supposed to be managed within a month or two finished in 2 weeks, there must be some explanation. The problem and unrest will start from there. Modern electronic meters with SIM cards are not so common in many countries. These electronic meters are put on new houses and commercial real estate and the owner pays for it. If the old electricity meter has an expiration date, then it will not be changed at the expense of the owner. And the energy company doesn't want to pay for it.

Here's the question(s): Is there a website where I can buy used mining equipment at a low cost? And, if I intend to purchase all of the essential equipment using this technique, what is the estimated cost?
It would also be helpful if you could provide me with a list of the items I will require for mining. Thank you.
You're lucky if the electricity is free there, what country are you in? You are envious, I wish all countries were like the country you are in. But of course you should know the basics needed in Bitcoin mining. First of all you must have an Internet connection, a power supply, a Bitcoin mining rig which is usually an Asic miner, and above all a Bitcoin wallet address of course. In addition, there must be capital. And the site platforms that you can trust that are good for buying bitcoin mining are Canaan, Nicehash, Bitmain and Hut 8 Mining.

Nicehash has mining software, but it doesn't have mining gear, and neither does hut8 they don't sell Asics anymore. I live in a federal school environment, and as a result, we have free-constant electrical supply,
What the hell is a federal school environment? And how would electricity be free just by that? Some guy might open a workshop and draw 600kw of power every second, would the infrastructure even hold? I see you have a post in the Bangladesh subforum, just yesterday I was reading of another member bitching about daily power cuts, how do you expect to start mining for free with this happening? https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/bangladeshs-worst-electricity-crisis-decade-2023-06-07/If it's the old school meter it's better, because there is no measurement on the electricity consumption, only bills monthly,
An s19 burns 72kwh a day, 2100 a month, by European standards that's how much a 5-8 classrooms will consume a month. Do you think that adding 3-4 times the consumption will not be seen?

Do you think that adding 3-4 times the consumption will not be seen? at best one L3+ pointed to nice hash will earn close to 1 dollar worth of btc at nicehash. it will burn 20kwatts a day which is 600 kwatts a month. the gear is quiet but I can tell you 600 kwatts will likely be caught.

First of all confirm about the organization you want to perform mining using free electricity if you will face any problem when you start mining. Because the electricity may be given free in that institution but the electricity to mine bitcoins is not given free to you. It turns out that you started your excavation with electricity supplied free of charge by the company to save electricity costs, but what will you do if the administration arrests you after carrying out the excavation for a few days. Knowing these things well then you decide on conducting this excavation.
