Yes, I am talking indeed about crypto mining. I am also talking mostly about the aspect of wasting compute cycles and thus harming the environment through Google's means. Yes, it is minimally profitable, but that it is possible is weird if you ask me.
- jefftk 5y agoSorry, what I meant was that it is minimally profitable at the best of times. Which means it doesn't take very much enforcement to shift it over to being negatively profitable, because it costs you more in time, engineering, etc. than you would make. And once it is a money losing proposition, the people trying to exploit users are no longer interested.
