I do not know but probably the only criteria is if it is legal in your country (and the country of the data center). It is legal in most countries. You can easily find where in the TOS that it says you cannot do anything illegal and I think the inability
to find an answer about cryptocurrency mining can be assumed to indicate it is not prohibited. I think it is advisable to do as Marcin says to be sure but I would be surprised if they would say it is not allowed when it is legal otherwise. I think the only
legal activity that is prohibited is adult images and videos.
I explored Bitcoin mining. I installed a couple of programs in my PC. The first one I ran for a couple of days and I got about a penny a day but it did not use much of my processors. The other one, my AV program would not allow some necessary components
to be installed. So the options are to use Linux in a PC or to use a dedicated device that uses Linux in a VM as you are pursuing. I have also read that Bitcoin mining is not as much of an opportunity as it was a couple of years ago.
I am interested in knowing how you do. I think you can get in touch with me through my website. I have highly limited monetary resources and results will likely be costly to obtain. Something I have done is to create an account in Coinbase (I
know very little about them) to explore trading cryptocurrency. There are more than 2,000 cryptocurrencies. We can do virtual trading in that website for learning and exploration purposes.
