I also lean towards a total ban for reasons stated by multiple people. 
But before cfarm-admins has a consensus/conclusion, as the maintainer of 
cfarm420~430, I would like to unilaterally enforce this temporary rule 
on cfarm420~430 at my discretion:

Any cpu-intensive process related to cryptocurrency will be killed, 
unless a "cryptocurrency fee" is prepaid to me: USD$400 per month per 
user.

The reason for this rule is simple: even though cfarm420~430 run on 100% 
renewable energy at my tiny apartment in Tokyo, the cost of electricity 
(around USD$400/month, provided by TEPCO) takes about 20% of my gross 
income, which is obviously a lot. I see "hosting for cfarm" as my 
investment of the good of the society, but in the case of 
cryptocurrency, I have no confidence to say that. On the other hand, 
access to cfarm420~430 for only $400/month is a great deal comparing to 
popular "cloud services".

Cheers,
