So today I'm chilling in my IT class, and some kid starts talking about Bitcoin. My teacher hops into the conversation and says "I never want to see you mining Bitcoin. Do you know where the money comes from? You're mining stolen data and passwords to bank accounts. You're decrypting the data. It's illegal, you never know where the data is coming from." I was confused by this, and after a couple Google searches I didn't see anything supporting his claim. So /g/, is my teacher bullshitting, or is he legit?

The truth is, nobody knows exactly where the data is coming from, your computer is just mindlessly bruteforcing hashes until it finds a match and that forms the next part of the blockchain.
Who knows, you might be contributing to breaking AES-256.

It's an NSA botnet designed to crack encryption so your teacher is kinda right.
