encrypt the drives, route your traffic to another provider, and disable ME with me_cleaner and they shouldn't have any easy way to catch you. Chia doesn't degrade any other users experience as long as you're on a dedicated box.
Only on cloud though right? More understandable there.
No, "root server" means dedicated boxes.
Nope: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3229174#Comment_3229174
No ... they expanded it to root servers. In the root servers AUP (dedicated servers AUP) it now says is forbidden. Must have happened recently. No doubt .... CHIA had impact on them and they went against it.
Good idea but just to further clarify. CHIA does kill SSD's when it's plotting. Is even on their official documentation. As we all know SSD's have limited read/writes...
That's why is suggested to use your SSD to plot (consciously kill it, but it plots faster) but store the plots in HDD storage to actually then farm which seems to be a low resources operation. The key part is the plotting, it just wear out SSD's like it's cookies.
Wouldn't surprise me they noticed this and made changes to their AUP. Certainly two months ago that AUP did allowed crypto mining on root servers, GPU or CPU. But now they certainly have issues with it since the BAN is referred as crypto mining as a whole.
They'd better fix the server crash problem. AMD Ryzen and i9-9900k have persistent reboot issues.
As for me, prohibiting mining is absolutely stupid. It is necessary, on the contrary, until the wave to sell all the servers.
When the dump is done, 70% of the mining will be immediately blown away and there will be a lot of cheap servers again.
reference? did not get any mail about those changes
I believe they are not obligated to notify. AUP is on their website, go to the "root servers" part. @kalipus
Can you elaborate on this? We have been experiencing this on some new Zen 3 hardware.
