He's stealing from society to feather his own nest. I'll bet he also thinks this makes him smarter than other people.

  well, if he was going to be running a space heater otherwise then this is basically the least harmful instance of mining
  • bastawhiz 4y ago
    That's a pretty inefficient space heater
    • praptak 4y ago
      It's close to 100% efficient in converting electricity to heat.
    • asddubs 4y ago
      anything that converts electricity to heat, by whatever means, is essentially equally efficient in doing so.

  In a society as large as ours, I think it generally is strictly smarter. Personally I think it’s detestable for ethical reasons.

  How is paying for electricity, at the price the provider offered, stealing?
  • joepie91_ 4y ago
    Because the electricity was almost certainly offered for a specific subsidized purpose, likely being funded by a grant of some sort, and thus it is being misused?
    • praptak 4y ago
      Maybe, but then the heating itself would be the problem, not the mining on top of that.

  How is it stealing? He's paying for the electricity, the same price as everybody else who has an allotment in that community.
