In response to "Bitcoin mining uses the same power as Hong Kong right now and is growing exponentially. -- nm" by spamlet

we gave students loaner laptops to use during covid. they're on our mobile device management system but not really locked down so much.

last week, the manager of the loaner service told me that they'd identified eight machines in our pool that were being used for nothing but mining bitcoin.

seems a fool's errand for one laptop.
