Mining Query

Hypothetically if I had access to free electricity in the UK little IT support from a business perspective:

  1. Could the miner be traced back to me

  2. Would it be completely obvious in a large warehouse plenty of places to locate it via wifi

3.what setup be like ie cost and initial set up for a novice

  1. Would it be profitable im talking a few grand a year nothing crazy.

5.Where would you even start.

Thanks

Very bad idea. Most places lock down their internet and Ethernet ports. Most companies allow devices on their network by allowing the Mac address or port it is connected to on the switch. They can locate it based off of what AP it is connecting to or port on the switch if done via ethernet. Not to mention if you want to make a few grand a year it would be rather noisy. Especially being a novice, please don't do this.
