On: Bitcoin Miners Are Racking Up $150,000 A Day In Power Consumption

I just take my ASIC into Starbucks.

Free BTC for me...

I keep mine at school.

...which makes a pretty case for the school to confiscate it/sue you for the BTC generated using their power.

Ahh, that's the HN I know and love... making the trivial a "thing" ;)

Sounded more like you were interested in slapping my wrist.

I was just surprised you'd admit it in public, and thinking about what could happen if the school found your ASIC and knew what it was. Of course, you could make a counter-argument that you were entitled to use the school's electricity in partial exchange for your tuition fees :)

Aha! The new power-crypto-moocher class!
