I'm defending him, I'm not defending stealing. Big difference. What I was said is that you don't know his situation. You don't know that he is stealing electricity. It was quite obvious that his "sticking it to the man" quote was a joke.

Call me what you want, I'm not going to get into a flame war with you. You're nobody to me and I personally don't care what your opinion of me is. You're off topic. He wanted advice about buying a jalapeno. He wasn't asking if you thought he was a scumbag.

OP, there are mining calculators on the internet. You've probably used them already. It'll take you a very long time to get a bitcoin by mining with a jalapeno but don't worry about that. If you want to do it, and you can afford it, just do it.
