Large German cloud provider Hetzner has banned customers from mining cryptocurrencies on their servers in light of the growing popularity of the Chia token, which is mined using data storage devices.

“Yes it’s true. We have expanded the rules of the service and banned the mining of cryptocurrencies, the company wrote on Twitter. – We have received many orders for servers with large volumes of hard drives. Storage Box servers with the ability to store large amounts of data are increasingly being rented. ”
