I have a huge amount of time on the country's largest supercompuer.
I have thought about using it for bitcoin mining - no one would know. Unless they did find out and I'd probably go to prison.

You can buy a decent asic miner for about £1000-£2000, then if you get into a good pool you can make profit, but new better machines are coming out all the time
you need to be ahead of the game with technology, and quite frankly I know fuck all about it. I know people were moaning about the cost of running the machine so hard for so long. Was screwing them on electric. So, being in solar power, I thought about rigging up an off grid mining unit...eco coin mining if you will. In the end I couldn't be fucked

It's the free market, and they get harder to make as time goes on.
I think you have to really know what you're doing now to make anything, and even then I think the margins are tiny.
