Britain's biggest illegal Bitcoin mine? Cops raid warehouse after noticing huge power surge and find stolen electricity was creating unregulated cryptocurrency - favoured by criminal underworld - on 100 computers

• Officers forced entry to premises in industrial estate in Sandwell, West Midlands, on May 18 after tip-off
• Police had heard of people frequently visiting and lots of wiring and ventilation ducts were visible
• A drone also picked up a heat source from above, leaving officers to suspect it was a cannabis factory
• But inside, they found a huge bank of around 100 computers, powered by stolen electricity

nice but they missed a trick they could have grown something with the spare heat.

MSM trying to taint the pure delights of decentralised magic internet money with some something about stealing some electricity.

This is also an example of when localisation goes wrong...
Bitcoin price: Police find giant bitcoin ‘mine’ during warehouse drug raid (news.com.au)
"Police were stunned to find a bitcoin “mine” stealing thousands of kilograms of electricity during a suspected warehouse drug raid."

Presumably their software interpreted "pounds" as mass rather than currency.

The trouble with buying options is having to take delivery if you don't shift them in time
