I'm posting this with an anonymous username 'just in case'
Basically, I crawled into the crawlspace at work, ran some ethernet cabling down there, and now have 2 antminer s3s and a sp20 jackson running in a secret underground bitcoin mine. I even wore a flashlight hat when I went down...
Hopefully the dusty crawlspace doesn't choke them out...

Your ICT guy doesn't monitor the network? He will see packages on an unusual port..

Haha, sounds alike a bit of effort. A friend of mine snuck a miner in the roof at his uni for about a day lol.

I have my miners in a crawlspace, but it is in my home. Just make sure you have that circuit on a GFCI or that "Ant Hole" may be your permanent hole and not quite 6 feet deep. My home is on a slope and most of my "crawlspace" is more of a "standplace" and its a good spot for the miners since I don't have to hear them and it is cool down there. I will have to throw a dehumidifier down there once it gets warmer though.

i think i read something like this somewhere before. 2 IT admins started mining and because they were admins only they could see the data
i think they made like $12 before someone found out and they got sacked i think it was a trainee admin

If they were overly good at their jobs they would have received a warning, good admins aren't easy to hire. Sometimes company executives feel it necessary to "make an example" of particular poor behavior. Being good at you job will usually help, but not always.

so this is how you guy call if "i have free electricity", now everything is explained, i always wonders what was the way to steal it lol
but anyway with such low numbers of miners, it still pointless to do it, mining is not even about free electricity anymore, it's about going big in the first place

Just thought I'd ask but are you Amish? Reason I ask is because a lot of them steal electricity around where I live. They've been caught plenty of times.

Could be pretty hard / impossible to prove it was him. Unless he is the only bitcoiner in the office and goes on about bitcoin than gg.

Proof generally isn't required. Plan on losing your mining hardware as well, unless you want to claim it, then it's owner is no longer in doubt, is it? In many companies office supply "theft" is better tolerated at a small scan than Bitcoin mining.

Well OBVIOUSLY if he claimed the hardware was his they'd know it was him.......................................................... why in the shits would someone do that.. That comment I.. *shakes head* If no one in his office knows he is into bitcoin how would one think it was him? He is taking a risk.. Free power with the risk of losing your hardware.

Really some of you need better things to do with your time then to come in and bash a thread like this. I also have pondered this as it is the like major gating factor in profits for mining (*shakes head* Idiots). Iv'e also come up with a grey area legal method of tricking out a meter from not recording a defined circuit.

I say go for it. Don't claim they're yours and keep your mouth shut about BTC in general. See if they get to "work" there longer than you do. If you retire at 65 and they're still humming, well good job Transfer ownership to your kids. If they get busted then kudos for the IT team for doing their job. Just frown and tsk tsk as they carry them out, and mutter something about scum drinking from the company pot, then get back to your job like nothing happened.
