    But I wonder: doesn’t it need to be accessible to be read locally? If I mine like 1 petabytes of stuff, then I can upload somewhere else and forget about it?

    Otherwise they could mine on a disk, then wipe, start again.

    IMHO they found a scapegoat, everyone (me included) loves to blame crypto bros for anything bad, but I don’t see how here can happen

      Emulate a block device and reference it to the cloud api, unless im missing something.

        Yes but it should be needed to read it constantly, otherwise it would download petabytes of stuff

        And that mined file would be accessed slowly
