All compute classes have never been treated equally though. If I open an AWS account and launch dozens of instances and DDoS other customers / locations on the internet AWS will terminate my account and shut everything down. The provider always has discretion on whatever it really wants to provide service to you or not.

It’s a fair point.

Folks need to wake up to the fact that if we all end up relying on 3 cloud providers, we also end up having to live with their discretion regarding what is acceptable / moral use.

Also, this isn’t really the same as a DDOS, this is localised computation effectively. Running a hash function.

We are talking mostly about Chia, which destroys hardware, unlike computational applications.

This whole chia thing is new to me but i have terabytes of unused space on usb connected disks to my pc. Sounds like I won’t meet criteria?
