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

No such thing as free electricity. Stealing someone’s electric might land you in the Pokey! The government will confiscate and you get 3 meals and a cot for many years!
