I knew they (and most other) cloud and VPS hosting were banning mining, ... that's been the case for a decade even, ... but I didn't think simply running a node would be against their terms of service.
Lots of Core nodes and LN nodes are run on AWS, etc., and some are even on Hetzner. [I know, ... that's terrible for privacy and security, but I'm just stating facts.]
I wonder if this action by Hetzner was selective enforcement because it was a privacy coin (Monero)?
This actually has nothing to do with Monero specifically, the initial comment by Hetzner was in reference to Ethereum but they made sure it encompassed all cryptocurrency usage (including Bitcoin).
