Not a horrible idea, but how are they going to police something like this?

@reid-cooper they'll have no real way to prove that someone is mining.
Short of breaking into your house to see what you are doing, how could they know.

I'd imagine that Power Companies are recording your usage stats. If somebody's usage suddenly shoots up...

There is nothing illegal about crypto mining. And depending on. What state growing weed may be legal.
The idea of charging more for using more electric it is just dumb.

Who gives a damn how I use the electric, you're still being paid.
