but... how? when the author ran the numbers, the rough estimate is solving the challenges at a rate of 10000/5 min, on a single instance of the free tier of google compute. that is an insignificant load at an even more insignificant cost.
That's insanely slow compared to how fast they normally scrape.
As mentioned in the article, mining one token gets you unfettered access for 7 days.
