Hetzner Server Questions about Mining

TatsTats Member

Hello..Can the servers bought in Hetzner server auctions be used till their 100% cpu usage? I mean can they be used for mining? Is mining banned on their dedicated servers? If yes could someone suggest me an alternative service which I can use for CPU mining.

    No it's not banned. Please don't do it though ;-)

    Its impossible to enforce a "mining is banned policy" on dedicated servers.

    If the provider would say, its banned, use a tunnel to the mining pool.

    Hetzner does allow mining anyway.

    Are you sure that it's not banned and it's allowed?

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    It's allowed, but CPU's lives matter!

    How about you read the TOS yourself if you don't believe us? Besides what @Neoon said so...

    You are asking OP to put in efforts to locate TOS and actually spend more than 7 seconds to read.

    That is classified as torture in this era.

    Hello..I am sorry if you felt bad about asking you again about it..I apologize for it as it was rude..I did read the TOS and I couldn't find anything about mining..thank you for the help.

    In that case i'd be more worried about being allowed to run sshd but that's just me.

    Edit: Being a bit more serious there is a single provider that tries to disallow mining on it's dedicated servers and as pointed out it's impossible to effectively enforce such a clause anyways.

    Who tries to stop it on dedicated?

  • How does a provider know if you're mining or doing video encoding? They won't

    Network, meta data.

    No one is going to run around and measure the power usage.

    They could do scan all connections permanently, if something related to mining is detected, server suspended. OVH could that easy I guess, with there DPI for AntiDDOS.

    You do not even need DPI, just the destination address, since the package is encrypted anyway, DPI wont help that much.

    But still, no one will do that in reality, its just a sign that says "mining is banned".

    A tunnel or VPN can easy bypass this.

    Hetzner 100% cpu is allowed. I have several servers running with them, cpu is always running at 100%. No complain at all. However, I don't mine coin.

    The only problem is that the rewards from mining will not cover the costs of your server.

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    The act of mining itself is very important.

    It has to be done in order to join the cook kidz club.

    Cryptomining is allowed for all of our dedicated root servers, but not for our cloud or virtual servers. For more information, see our system policies: https://www.hetzner.com/rechtliches/system-policies/ --Katie, Marketing
