    This is probably a result of that dumb crypto currency that uses proof of storage and people were just using Dropbox for it

      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
