Hi Everyone, Are you prohibiting cryptomining by residential students on their own computers? We've had some questions come in about how it fits into our code of computer conduct, but I'm interested in your approaches around this. We have concerns from the heat generation from the CPU use and the potential for fire, etc. If you have prohibited it, under what type of policy framework? Infosec? Computer Use? Housing contracts?
