Wow thanks for posting this! I defo haven't thought about this use case. So interesting.

So we actually explicitly prohibit mining in the T&Cs, it's just that in the FAQ I wanted to be a bit more human and dissuade people.

Also, there's quite a few protections built-in at the network layer to make sure mining isn't possible. Ports, ips, dns, even DPI. I learnt a lot about the early days of bitcoin and mining protocols when I was building gpu.land:)

But again, thanks for sharing this. Really good to know.
