Massive factory of untapped mining potential.

[trunolimit]

Hello Everyone,

So I work in a factory. There are dozens of computers on the plant floor. I counted at least 40. Now these computers aren't used all the time but they are turned on 24/7.

I recently got an idea to use the computers in the factory to mine bitcoins. I would need to run a bitcoin mining program that is hidden in the background of windows PCs. I also need to be able to adjust the percentage of the resources used by this program.

Is this possible?

If it is possible how would this impact network traffic?

no.

Might as well turn in your letter for leaving as you do this.  Look at proper use clause on IT assets in company policy's.

You can do it, but mining an altcoin may be more profitable. Look into CPU mineable coins, because I suspect your company computers won't have high end GPU's in them.

You won't want to do that . Only mining altcoins might be profitable.
You can get in serious trouble. I had a similar issue in college. They had various FPGA's lying around, and I was trying to run a miner on it
 The professor somehow got to know, and told me not to do it.

Besides the fact it is very wrong, the company will notice when the power bill starts to spike.

If you get caught  (you probably will),you will be  fired ASAP, it is really worth to lose your job for a few dollars a month?
