Cryptocurrency mining

Hey guys,

I do quite a bit of mining with my home PC, mainly when I am on it but don't require the use of my GPU. I do not mine Bitcoins as it's not viable in any shape or form. I have quite a few friends who constantly watch the coin market and inform me of the best coins to mine, currently I am mining WorldCoin as their value is expected to rise.

I also have taken over a lot of the Macs at work, since I work in a company who do a lot of video and artwork we have some pretty powerful graphics cards, our company has a major security flaw by not closing SSH connections and having every persons password the same... Using this I have opened an SSH tunnel to all the machines I can and got them mining for me, I usually leave this running overnight and during lunch breaks when their machines are not being used.

In total I get around 5000kh/s when all my miners are running, what do you mine and what average kh/s do you get?

5 MH/s mining? either you mean 5 GH/s or you're talking about scrypt mining like with litecoin

using company hardware that way is illegal btw and if you get caught you'll get fired and maybe sued.
5 MH/s on scrypt is decent and worth about 40 bucks a day at the current rate (assuming you mine 24/7)

I got 1 MH/s on litecoin and 30 GH/s on bitcoin

It is scrypt mining. It probably is illegal but I won't get caught, it is run at times when no one is in the office, they aren't technical further than video editing/graphics editing since that is the main business of the company, I work in the 'digital' team. Since it's through an SSH tunnel even if people were on those machines they wouldn't see any software running.

Won't see the software running but if your network admin has packet sniffing software for monitoring network traffic after spotting unusual activity at times when there isn't meant to be activity you could be caught!

This is a guy who couldn't work out why he couldn't get onto the internet only to realise he forgot to turn on his WiFi. I'm sure I'm safe.

Out of curiosity, how much are you making from mining this way?

It kind of makes me a little upset hearing about you doing this... Not only are you degrading company assets at a rapid pace, you're doing so for your own personal gain.
Don't let it slip out where you work. I will inform them...

With the current market, during the past month I have gained just under £8k.

I'm not exactly the only one, there are people who are IT administrators using all school computers overnight and during term breaks.

That's quite good! And are you able to trade that out into real £ while still keeping it to 8k?

I can but the market is too low to want to, when it picks back up that will practically double almost triple in cost. After that happens I can sell out and get real money for it quite easily.

There is a very big flaw to your master plan and it doesn't need John Carmack to figure it out.

The flaw even has a name, it's called the electric bill.

And considerably more than someone is expecting to pay when the next bill arrives. It's going to be a surprise.

It's really going to be funny when people start getting pay cuts because the electric bill is getting extremely high for no known reason.
