Who here is getting free power before the meter?

I've been doing it for 2months, running 10 mining rigs. Besides the extreme heat in my garage, It's going pretty well.

Will the authorities be able to work out I've been stealing power?

[Anonymous No.6077305]

>>6077224
they will now

[Anonymous No.6077324]

>>6077224
Absolutely they will.

They can just see how much that was actually pulled in from their side doesn't match with your meter.

[Anonymous No.6077467]

>>6077324
How will they know? The line feeds the whole street

[Anonymous No.6077597]

If your local utility is using SEL 301/501 metering controls (which most utilities do), they'll be able to pinpoint the bleed w/out ever physically reading a meter.

>Will the authorities be able to work out I've been stealing power?

Yes. Even a simple thermograph of the supplies in the street will show your house as being abnormal. Then they'll 10/10 fuck you

Is it too late if he stops now or can find him using past logs?

[Anonymous No.6078094]

>>6078038

technically too late. but if it stops and they arent out a shitton its likely they dont waste the time investigating it.

[Anonymous No.6078263]

>>6078094
if OP was using a 1200watt 6gpu setup, they would not notice or bother because that sort of bleed doesnt even come close to the average home, powerloss happens on every street and line.

but if he used 10 rigs, which would be roughly 12,000 watts, now thats a big problem.

Yeah that's pretty much it, but here are some tips:
A x1 can be plugged into a x16 slot
Find out if the mobo has a BIOS option for crypto mining/ expanded PCIe memory
There are one x1 PCI to three x1 PCI extenders that work, but have ZERO documentation.
Run a linux distro built for mining; pay the fucking 2 dollars a month for simpleminer OS is my recommendation
Learn how to wire yourself up 240 volt connection if you live in the USA.
Power supplies are most effiecient at 70-80% load

and uhhh thats all i can think of right now.

im going to consider myself lucky, and pack up my shit.

I've got a plan B anyway

My brother has a spare room in his apartment
He lives sandwiched in between 2 other units, so I'm going to pull power from back to back Wall outlets.

I'll be able to get 1 feed from both sides of his house, won't be able to run as many rigs, but i'll be getting free power from his neighbours. I'll be splitting the profits until I can figure out a better plan

[Anonymous No.6080195]

Looks like the common fine is three times the electric charge plus court fees. So if 4k OP is looking at 15k expense plus a record.

[Anonymous No.6080196]

>>6077224
I did this for 16 years with an old style meter. You can't do it with digital meters or smart meters, if you get caught be prepared for the power company to show up with a few local PD or sheriff, a giant truck, and a letter from the court stating "you owe $XXXXXXX, your access to the grid is permanently terminated. Pay right away or you'll lose the ability to ever have an open power account with us"

People sometimes remove the wall behind the meter to tap into the line side so as to not cause suspicion from outside.
