As a standalone miner, you can't. In mining datacenter, you cave a local pool which is controlled by a PC connected to the Internet, and miners connect to the local pool without being connected to the Internet themselves.
My guess is none. The patches only make sense if the computers running the hardware do hold sensitive information. Cryptomining drone systems generally don't; furthermore they are generally isolated from the Internet.
I don't have to "try" it, i'm already doing it, and it works OK. In last 4 months of mining I made 300 bucks, not counting the loss of 0.012 BTC due to NiceHash being, ahem, "hacked", with a single watercooled GTX 1080. Back in August I owned 0.048 BTC but bought a computer case with it - sold the BTC for 200 bucks. In retrospect I shouldn't have done it but whatever. I know, it won'a make me rich but in 5 more months the card would have earned its value back, and from then on it's profit, assuming the coin values stay the same (which they so far didn't, they continuously increased). Point is, the 3 bucks a day my card makes NOW might be worth 10 bucks or more 6 months from now. At the same time they might be worth zilch but the way I'm seeing things the power consumption would have been paid off anyway and the card would still be under warranty so if the cryptocurrency market bombs, my losses would be already paid for and thus equal zero.
So there you have it. Your "exercise" must have been badly designed. Just mine any altcoin in top 1000 and convert it to BTC as you see fit in an online exchange. As for the Internet connection, I couldn't tell. I have Gigabit fiber + cable TV + 3G dongle + unlimited data phone contract, all for 25 bucks a month. One of the very few advantages of living in Romania, I guess.
You were also 3 feet tall when you were a kid, that doesn't make you a midget.
What you have shown there is called "price fluctuation", more aptly called "price adjustment" and it's market-driven, more than fiat currency which is backed up by governments and gold standard.
Bitcoin boomed to 19K, then fell back to a more stable price range, it's not the first time that happened and definitely not the last.
Next time please try adding your own thoughts to an otherwise flawless but useless copy/paste.
...only Bloomberg was full of shit, Bitcoin stays today at the same value as it was December 10th. Yes it does vary quite a bit on a daily basis, it's actually excellent for day trading if you do it well, sadly I'm only good at "yesterday's day trading" but nevertheless, Bitcoin isn't "plunging" at all.
1. My electricity and water aren't free. 2. Justice isn't free either. The part that's free sucks ass and mostly loses to the part that's being paid. Laws and Justice go hand in hand. 3. Here where I live, roads are paid for through gas excise taxes. They're fucking huge. 4. Security, that's arguably free, but is it good enough? I'd rather pay the local police directly to be honest.
I'm not saying I'm against paying taxes by any stretch, I'm just refuting most of your examples.
I used it briefly to send a quick greeting to otherwise unreachable friends and relatives (e.g. from other countries, not in town, too drunk to carry a phone conversation, etc). I saw the messages not going out, shrugged and left the phone be. The messages eventually went through and I got replies.
So... there's that. If you can gather everyone you care about in one place, physically, that's awesome. Some people can't for a plethora of reasons.

CPUs have very, very, very little impact in GPU mining. As in "insignificant".

Missing option: "most of the above". "most" because "They don't have a problem" is N/A.
Are you doing a good job?
And if so, are you sure those you work for are doing a good job?

So are streetlights, corporate computers which are left turned on when people head home, idle servers in data centers, etc.
I do. believe it or not, some altcoins can make more profit than Bitcoin.
Find me some mining hardware that will make enough money to make back my investment before its obsolete.
Any recent GPU will do, from GTX 1060 to GTX 1080 Ti, also AMD's RX 570 and 580. Dunno about Vega as it consumes insane amounts of power.
What "recent plunge"?
I adore people who have no clue what they are talking about.
They would probably move to Belarus> https://www.rt.com/business/41...
As an Eastern European, I guess I'm doubly-fucked.
My beard is longer than 5 cm. I guess I'm fucked.
Only if the shit is lost in transit. Otherwise he doesn't wipe it at all. Skid marks all over the place.
Many orders of magnitude more.
I'm not short, you inconsiderate clod!
It's part of their culture. Believe me, they know very well. Well enough to teach you a few things :)
Higuita... buddy... relax. Read my post again, especially my last sentence, mkay?
I live in a 3rd world country, by the way.
Cool, let's train them and replace dogs with them.

Remedy? No. Punishment? Yes. Example so that others would hopefully not behave the same in the future? Yes.
Most convictions are not remedies at all. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be applied.
