Xmr.to shuts down Monero exchange service

I run a cloud service where you can get a small amount of computing power as part of a larger free trial offer. The number of people who try to rip us off to run xmrig is simply astonishing. By my estimate you could only make $1-$2 a month per fake user but they still keep coming. This blog post's talk about the "Monero faithful" and the "community" seem quite ironic to me.

How is it ironic that people believe in the only digital money that doesn't enable mass surveillance? Because people try to profit off free computing? I don't understand

$1/m/fake user is still better than 0, therefore they will try to make thousands of fake users and hope some of them survive bans.

There's a huge difference in the motivations of miners and users. The latter group is being addressed here.
