Definitely fair comments. Reminds me of some of Machiavelli's comments in The Prince.

As an aside, this tenant has had medical problems and has been in rehab for literally the last 4 months (thank God he and his family have continued to pay rent) - I used the opportunity of his absence to basically do some major backlogged work and remodels in the place (new floors and tile) since the house was for sale. I only noticed the freezer because I was in there and hadn't been for over a year and a half (he's lived there for 4 years). He even continues to receive frozen mail order food that I put in there for him - weird.

Back in college I folded non-stop with my multi-GPU rig (8800GTs represent!). I am sure my power bill for my dorm room was hundreds per month... if only there were ASICs back then. Now I am designing a rig to plug in my Bolt to charge and simultaneously run some GPUs mining at the muni building down the street which has free 6.6KW charging. So I know a thing or two about not caring about the power bills.

So you're going to use free government power to mine bitcoin? Would you mind giving me a little more info on your set-up and what the deal with the power is?

Would love to get into something like that if I could, but I heard that GPU mining isn't profitable anymore.

BTW, This may sound callous, but you need to get that drug addicted tenant out of your house ASAP. Good for him for trying to change and going to rehab, but it's not wise to bet the condition of your property on him staying clean.

A drug addicted tenant is like the worst possible thing for your property and pretty much guarantees it's gonna get trashed and also ensures he'll have no money to reimburse you.

Legally you might not be able to kick him out yet, But if you're smart when his lease is up you won't give him the option to renew. Let him go rent somewhere else, where his life choices can't destroy your property.

OP clarified. It's definitely addiction.
