I am running computers at my Florida farm that use ten-fold the electricity I used a year ago, this time of year.
I read freeper threads about the LEO, no-knock, drug suspected raids, that occur all across the states when electricity usage is flagged as abnormally high.
How would you go about contacting the county sheriff and what to say as well as what not to say with regard to high electric usage.
I don't want to wake in the middle of the night to LEO activity on my property that I suspect is a burglary or other criminal activity. It's almost a sure thing that I'll be killed defending my family.
Man, you must have several score computers running simultaneously. How's it going? And what's your electricity bill?
But that's based on the conditions here, with an elected and approachable Sheriff. His corruption, if any, is not presently biased against me or mine.
Conditions that may not apply on the ground where you are.
Build a moat around your house...with alligators...lot’sa alligators.
Claymore.
If you don't mind me asking, is bit coin mining that profitable?
Get rid of the pot plants in the basement, computer controlled or not....
Now you even make me curious to get a peek behind the door....
Cogeneration too.
Maybe I’ll post some photos in a few says, if I live that long.
Personally? I would rig my property up with battery powered motion detectors, Klaxons and Flood lights and Blare “Intruder Alert” and “Danger Will Robinson” in computerized voices, and hide the off switch.
Get a separate meter and service it as a business. The electricity will be half the cost, and no problems. Though they may require the meter on a separate building than your home.
A home indoor hydroponics Hobbyist’s bill would rise no more than $60 per month at .13 per kw/h. While a commercial operation would run in the $1000’s and upwards at a commercial rate of around .08 per kw/h. Figures may vary.
If you go solar, make sure you go off grid cause they can still meter you on grid systems.
A mistake in bookkeeping at the electric company can make out that you’re using more electricity. Happened to my dad. For two months his electric usage doubled. Fault of the power company’s bookkeeping. Some how they entered his usage twice for those months. Fortunately nothing happened. But in larger towns or cities?????
What the hell you farmin?
Give a thought to any four-legged friends there.
All in twenties.
For decades my goal with electronic equipment was to care for it, clean & maintain it, make it last a decade or more. But these miners obsolete themselves very fast, so I don’t even bother to clean or filter the air I push through them, they’ll cost more for the electric to run next year than they bring in in income.
Aren’t the bitcoins about to run out from mining?
LOL, you may be paranoid...
Install a camera system with infrared capability. Live at an altenate location. Put in a few blow up dolls and funny noises and sounds a la Ferris Bueller and watch the SWAT raid on TV. Be sure to upload.
If you get them, you’ll get a million hits guaranteed.
Well lets get real. You are posting keywords on a domestic terrorist website proclaiming you aren’t a domestic terrorist.
It “sounds” like you are just going to be a trader with the need to watch minute by minute trading in a multitude of markets.
What does a business license cost in your state?
Not that it really matters.
All it takes for the popo’s to check you out is to run a copter over your location with some infrared. Grow rooms or meth labs are going to be hotspots. If all of your chairs are at the same table it could show a hotspot.
But I guess if you are asking how to be legitimate and protect yourself when the government is illegitimate...
Keep your powder dry. STK
