Topic: Can I Do Mining From Google Cloud VPS (Read 7224 times)

Mining is explicitly prohibited on Google Cloud. Google suspended my account for using a crypto miner. I've used the Azure trial before though to mine. For Google Cloud, you might look into alternative methods to generate income. There are coins like SIA, MaidSafe, FileCoin, etc. that let you sell storage and bandwidth for coins. Since these are not CPU intensive, it might pass Google Cloud monitoring. I didn't know they forbid cryptocurrency mining until they showed me the ToS:

2. Limitations.   During the Free Trial:

2.1 Customer’s use of Google Compute Engine is restricted to only eight cores of concurrent usage per Free Trial (as further described in Documentation);

2.2 Customer may not use the Services to engage in mining cryptocurrency;

2.3 Certain Services and features will not be available under the Free Trial, as indicated in the Google Cloud Console; and

2.4 The SLAs do not apply.

yes it will haven't problem if not mine scam coin, malicious coin as he said :


and the important thing is how many core in the vps.

you can also use it(vps not vpn, which is an enterely different thing) to avoid virus coin, like many of them that are running under a malicious dev with his malicious code and back door ignition in the code

but i like to create my own vps using a vpn plus a vm, on my personal computer

cheap OS that require low amount of ram plus 8 core will do it easily

in the past i did it with 6 private VPS(VPN + VM) they were working like a charm, and with zero cost, if you use free VPN or you take advantage of their 1 giga free bandwidth(like tunnerl bear)

Not VPN this is VPS
I use RDP (VPS windows) from google cloud and perfect connect without any problem

Personally, if you are planning to use a Google Cloud VPS, why not run a Bitcoin node? It won't make you money, but that might be a  more "worthy" cause then trying to mine...

Nah, stake coin is good idea I think.

I think it will haven't any problem right? Because using vps is same as using PC 

PoS is possible on vps, and still better than mining if only on vps, ..
but, there is some problem if using vps ( I don't know what it is, 'cause I never use vps for PoS )

@OP are you still want to try Google Cloud VPS to mining ?
i have idea
you can use it to staking wallet, more new coin come with D-POS, you can wait in perfect time to buy and stake it

technically yes, you can mine on google vps. in reality, better usage is to run bitcoin core node here and learn linux.)

Mining with vps is same as you mining with CPU/GPU, it's not worth anymore, you just get a dust and pay more your vps. Better to buy hardware with more power hash.

forget about mining bitcoin with cloud server/cpu/gpu, to mine bitcoin you need ASIC mining hardware,mining bitcoin with CPU was possible before 2010 but not now, so don't waste your time doing this you will end with nothing

don't make low quality Post read all coment before you post

It is possible, but I don't think you will make any money with it.

Your welcome

Thanks for all your suggestions.

My friend has tried to mine with google vps, but not profitable...
but if you choose to mine some scrypt or CPU 'friendly' scrypt, you might get profit..

but I suggest to you, don't do it with vps...

yeah but not on bitcoin, it's not profitable to mine with cpu, better to take a look at some old coin or new one that are using cpu only for now, and convert the profit in bictoin

no other things you can do with such low hashrate

Google Cloud not allow their  to do it and no profitable with it, but if u use in trial mode you will get more profit
My friend try use Google Cloud with VCC and he get more profit with mining ZRC (some month ago )

Yes you can mining with GC (google Cloud) but i don't think GC will allowed you to use 100% CPU usage
you will get banned to do it

Hi,
I Need Small Clarification Can I Do Mining From Google Cloud VPS and Get Some Bitcoins ?
Now Google Cloud Is Offering 300$ of Free Trial Credit for 1 Month.
Please Let Me Know Can Be Mining Done from Google Cloud Account.

And Also Google Cloud Is Not Linking With My Debit Card As I am From India. Is Google Cloud Accepting Members from Only USA ?

Thanks Waiting for Your Suggestions.
