You need to plug those GPUs into computers. You need to plug those computers somewhere as well.

It’s not going to the moon hard, but waaaaaaay harder than reselling it on Craigslist. And requires significant capital investment.

It'd be more efficient to just fence the cards. There are so many communities of flippers / eager buyers out there that it would take minutes to move an entire truckload of 30 series GPUs to buyers of all types.

Just like with setting up a weed farm. The cops need to follow spikes in power consumption that are out of the ordinary and they'll find you. However, growing weed may be illegal in most places, mining is not yet.

Cultivation of Cannabis Sativa with low THC is legal in 46 US states afaik with the 2018 farm bill. So you can say growing weed is legal in most places.

Right, except that me, and a large chunk of the world population, don't live in the US, so I was trying to draw a conclusion about the general global status on this.
