Won't be long until they cut your power for (((hate speech))) too
Define "bitcoin mining". It's literally just running a SHA-256 encryption. The right of citizens to encrypt has been upheld by decades of legal precedent. The city would get absolutely raped in court if they tried to enforce that law.
>The right of citizens to encrypt has been upheld by decades of legal precedent.
Not if it causes global warming,
Define assaulting someone. It's literally just doing a mouvement with your fist. The right of citizens to move their fists have been upheld by centuries of legal precedent.
a literal who liberal hellhole. sounds about right.
Who knew that shitcoins actually had value? Shame it all comes from legal winnings
I'd like to know how they can prove you're mining bitcoins

same way they find people growing weed: with specific algorithms that monitor electricity usage via smart meters.
so they find your computers, then what? how do they know it's mining bitcoin? it doesn't smell like bitcoins or anything
>specific algorithms
Nice specificity you have there.
No they find 50 gpus
contributing to one of the many gpu intensive scientific crowd-sourced operations

quality btfo
>liberal
>first to limit your freedom
how does this work?
>Nice specificity you have there.
they are simple, they flag any houses that use more more than the average amount of electricity in a neighborhood. gpus use a lot of power, just like grow lights, super easy to track such large anomalies.

if you have 1 pc mining, that is amateur level and only going to appear as a slight bump like a high end gaming pc or two.
this is to target SERIOUS miners, who buy up cheap property in areas where electricity is cheap and set up dozens of machines to max out what their property's circuit breakers can support.
this is an actual problem. autists who don't understand economics are literally burning up energy, increasing costs, farming memes.
I thought it was a joke that my town is a "city" with a 40k pop.
Back to biz cocksucker

>no such thing it's climate change nao
