>1. At this time, we don't grant quota for GPUs for free trial customers (hello various coin miners!). However, if you upgrade from your free trial, you do keep your $300, and that's just money :).
What do I have to upgrade to? Isn't GCE all per-minute? Do I just have to pay $0.05 for a standard instance and then use the $300 from my trial?
Also, is coin mining against any TOS? I'm not planning on doing it, I'm just curious.
- boulos 10y agoSorry, upgrading to a paid account (abuse risk is just too high for the free trial, so we keep the quota limits low). Coin mining is not against the TOS. However, because it's usually economically irrational, it's usually abuse. If you don't pay for your GPUs (fake credit card) it's awfully economically rational though ;).
