Can I Cryptomine on Linode?
I want to know if I can Cryptomine on Linode, I'm asking because I don't want my Linode to be terminated.

A similar question was previously addressed this in this older post linked below:
In short, Crypto-mining is generally frowned upon and can lead to termination since excessive use of CPU resources (specifically doing mining) breaks our Acceptable Use Policy. Strict resource monitoring and ensuring you do not sustain CPU usage beyond 80% would be the bare minimum to perform long-term mining, otherwise it should not be performed on a Shared Linode.
Mining on a Dedicated CPU plan may be permissible since only you have access to those resources, but we would need you to open a ticket before doing any mining, and even then, we cannot guarantee approval.
