... Why would they kick in MY door? I don't have a single rig at my house.


You accidentally stumbled into a thread where people who have money are making more of it. I don't eat at McDonalds, but if I did, I assure you that when you took my order, you'd be putting actual dollars into the register that I converted from virtual currency. I convert some each and every week. Currency trades were capital gains and mining profits were income on my 2013 tax return. FinCEN advised us exactly how to file, and that virtual currency trading and mining was perfectly legal .. but I guess with your head so far up your ass, this news didn't make it your way.

You're 0-for-2 in this thread, and looking dumber by the minute. Quit while you're behind.

I almost made a post about that but then remembered the datacenter part... :upsidedow

There were lots of raids on houses that had rigs 1-2 years ago that police suspected they were growing marijuana plants in their basement.
I think the rule is somewhere around 3x consumption for a typical house when they get suspicious. Too bad when they kick in the doors it's just a power hungry rig. :)

I must have misunderstood a previous post where you had just received a ton of equipment for mining. I was imagining a huge home office and a spike in electric usage which here in Florida means "grower"

My bad ???.

.

Haha no worries man. I send the shipments to the datacenter, except for Newegg, who wants to ship to my credit card address. They're definitely a lot cheaper to run at home, but you can't scale that way. I'm not a pimp like Mr Pheer with a datacenter in one of my houses.

Electric bill is about $800 per month here without any pot growing or rigs running. :thumbsup

$800/month? wtf.. air conditioning or whatfor?

How much is it with the pot growing?

5,800 sq. ft. At 68 degrees. Large pool and hot tub at 86. That's the majority.


I actually started to reply, sadly. :1orglaugh

I don't know anything about mining, but am curious as to what a set up like that looks like. Pics?

:1orglaugh

I'm on my phone (Jamaica-bound) but I've posted them here before.

Im pretty intrigued by this thread. Impressed you have scaled it to where you are now

What is to stop you adding machines and doing 400k a month ?

How much for a 1 week Viper contract? :1orglaugh

I love Domenic: "Hey, I need someone else's name to put on my server farm before I suddenly leave the country" :1orglaugh

I hope you find someone who is a good fit for this opportunity!

I'm sure it doesn't go unnoticed :1orglaugh

So people are this dumb? If I was to grow drugs in my basement I would definitely consider suspicious electricity spike and would get a generator.

Not sure any names on contracts would be re written. He just gives you some access and you can point which pools to mine etc.

I was just trying to be funny. It is a good opportunity (even as a learning experience).

On the electricity thing, generators are bad: contamination from diesel leaks is a problem in many areas and using gas or something else makes it financially problematic (the profitability of indoor dope farming, like coin mining, is highly dependent on electricity costs).

Generator may help with electric trail but you'd need many other measures. Around here, LEO uses heat detectors and various other means, including community reports, to spot grows -- the upshot being that while you many not be bothered, you won't go unnoticed...

Well I understood that it was a joke, just it would have been funny only if contracts were re written, imho :)
All good :thumbsup

As for generator comment, main point of my post was that it is dumb to grow with electricity spike. I mean most of the shady people should already know you could be raided based on that.
And if you do not know you do at least some research about that before growing.
Of course many criminals are just genuinely stupid..

The sheer quantity and diversity of imbeciles on GFY is stunning.

Stephen is one of the smarter people here, and a personal friend.

Apologies then but I thought he was just calling you a scammer. My bad

I found a helicopter for only 5k doge coins. Anyone wanna go halfsies?

Buy Helicopter with Dogecoin

you got me there.,

Crypto currencies just became a lot more interesting :thumbsup

You can look at my 16 inch penis for 25%...

Do you mean 25% of 5k doge? 1250 dogecoin is worth about 0.20 USD. :1orglaugh

I would pay a quarter to see it even if it is actually 4 inches.

I'm looking at the ass end of a bottle of vodka, fucked if I know what I am talking about...

Sounds pretty good. I can just use my Dreamhost account, it has unlimited bw.
