			==Seems like the moral police is hard at work==

			This guide was actually advising people NOT to install pirated software. I don't see how this "condones" it in any way. The debate about the morality of software piracy should be irrelevant here. This is supposed to be a practical guide, and it is an unfortunate/fortunate (delete as appropriate to your ideological camp) fact of life that a significant proportion of computer users install ''some'' pirated software at ''some'' stage in their lives. It is also a fact of life that pirated software is a popular vector for viruses. Acknowledging this fact is no more an endorsement of piracy than it's an endorsement of illegal drugs when a hospital questions a patient about their illegal drug habits prior to performing an operation. --[[User:Forever\|Forever]] 21:13, 5 November 2011 (GMT)

Don't keep your computer switched on overnight.

== Don't keep your computer switched on overnight. ==

Could you please elaborate on "Don't keep your computer switched on overnight.". Mining is a common case for bitcoiners to leave on their pc over night.
Was the idea to not leave on the work pc where the "cleaning lady" might gain access?
