Thank you, but this is against the Supplemental Terms and Conditions For Google Cloud Platform Free Trial.
"2.2 Customer may not use the Services to engage in mining cryptocurrency"
https://cloud.google.com/terms/free-trial/
If Google find, as you mining in trial account, you just loss your account. Maybe find that in the same day or after some days mining, so you don't loss anything, you can try.
does that mean if i pay i can mine crypto?
Yes! But it's not worth the price.
ohhh 35 days 99,34% CPU :p
Haha, thats how I got into crypto.
I was mining DOGE on a Microsoft Azure test account.
And its still available, they give you 170€ credit for a try!
https://azure.microsoft.com
how to get azure free trial, can you tell me?
I created a guide that walks you through setting up a free Azure accoount and setting up your miner
https://steemit.com/mining/@cloh76/guide-steem-mining-for-free-using-microsoft-azure
Thank you im going to try this and check back
Thank you for your info.
If I have another miner is mining@home, what the witness and private key should I fill in here?
(multiple miners problem)
What to do after the 7/27 hard fork ?
Hi, question.....I've running a server... but i want add another one.... Can I use the same miner name and the same WIF PRIVATE KEY ? Or I must create another new ?
Id recommend setting up a separate miner
Remove the leading "/" in
cd /programs/steemd
The "/programs" directory does not exist.
Warning! mining STEEM is not possible anymore.
Save your time.
