Re: Darn it .

No but I wish I had jumped on board when it was first starting up. My daughter has a tiny bit of bitcoin, like 0.0001% or something. I'm interested in it, but haven't got the funds to make a substantial return nowadays!

Re: Darn it .

The reason I’m suspicious about bitcoins is, how does it work, and what use is it to the buyer?

UK Police Raid Suspected Cannabis Factory, Find Bitcoin Mining Operation



https://www.coindesk.com/uk-police-r...ning-operation

Police in the U.K. have stumbled across a cryptocurrency mining operation after raiding what they thought would be a cannabis farm.

The police authority for the West Midlands metropolitan county forced entry into the industrial park unit on May 18 in Sandwell near Birmingham and found around 100 devices apparently used for bitcoin mining, according to an announcement Thursday. Officers found that the operation was stealing "thousands of pounds worth" of electricity.

“It’s certainly not what we were expecting!" Sandwell Police Sergeant Jennifer Griffin said.

The raid came after reports of multiple people visiting the unit at odd times of day and night, and "lots of" of wiring and ventilation ducts. A police drone had detected a considerable source of heat. These are all classic cannabis factory signs. The unit was unattended at the time of the raid and no arrests have been made as yet.

The discovery is only the second such crypto mining farm encountered in the West Midlands, according to Griffin.
