Re: Economics 101
It's a super computer being run on a bureau/cloud compute basis...
System idle time has zero cost until someone actually wants to use it at which point it has a price. So the AU$76,000 is what they would have billed a paying customer for the compute time used.
So moral of the story, if you want to make money mining cryptobucks, don't pay for compute time on someone else's machine.
