Question
Is cryptocoin mining allowed ?
Well digitalocean service is like a treasure I already setted couple of droplets for my friends.
But, I wonder am I allowed to load my droplet cpus 100% ? (for mining)
I want to try some digital coin mining, I read somewhere here that it is not allowed but if I am purchasing a service is not it confusing that I cant fully use my service ?
Also there are couple of blog posts over the internet explaining how to use digitalocean for mining it means people are using it kind of.
I really appreacate digitalocean as it is cheapest yet virtual server hosting and I am totally having fun when configuring droplets.

I’ve noticed that there isn’t a definite answer here.
On this page, it’s noted that in the TOS section 12.1 …“violation of any of these Terms of Service or any law, or if you misuse system resources, such as, by employing programs that consume excessive network capacity, CPU cycles, or disk IO.”
It’s still an ambiguous response, as to what entails “ programs that consume excessive network capacity, CPU cycles, or disk IO” isn’t really defined.
