SourceHut offers CI. People end up just using the CI for litecoin/bitcoin/eth/etc mining or the storage for chia mining.



Wrong. See Drew DeVault's (founder of SourceHut) comment on exactly this topic:

> Q: How much of this is due to not wanting build/pipeline servers getting abused for mining purposes?

> A: None: the mining incidents stopped entirely when we started charging for CI and it stopped being profitable to do it.

As you can see, CI had nothing to do with their decision. The ToS changes specifically refer to source code hosting.
