What are my thoughts ?
You will never make 350$ back with jalepeno , and stealing electricity from a business , and or taxpayers in the case you work for the government just makes you a fucking scumbag.
Even if you work for a bank , who is in fact the man, your still a scumbag for stealing.

Hi all....please don't bash your head into your desk because this is another "im new to mining, should i do this to make $" thread. Well, it kind of is.. 
I'm looking to get into mining bitcoin for fun, and any profit would only be a side bonus. My goal right now is to do mining to make a bitcoin or two down the road, to hold on to them and hope that the price of BTC increases in the years to come.
Now I've done some research by surfing the good ol WWW, especially these forums, and understand the difficulty is trending on only increasing and mining for profit can be expensive if someone is serious....... but I figured I'd throw my scenario out to you guys/gals and see what your thoughts are.
I saw a few Butterfly Labs Jalapeno boxes on eBay that say they can mine at 10-12 GH/s for around $350 +shipping. From what I've read, these are simple boxes you just plug into a PC and start mining (Im sure with a little set up). If I'm wrong with that, please let me know. If it's that simple I was going to click Buy and plug n play with it. The PC I'll be using is a very standard home PC, Windows 7, nothing exciting about it. The positive is that I will be running this machine where I do not have to pay for electricity. No it's not my parents house, it's my office, I figured it's another way I can stick it to the man.

Thank you!
