"An Airbnb owner has been forced to implement a new ‘no crypto mining policy’ after a tenant installed 10 mining rigs that racked up a $1,500 electricity bill in just three weeks.

Other Airbnb hosts have also complained about crypto miners running up their electricity bills.

Another user in the UK revealed on an Airbnb forum that they believed their guests were mining bitcoin and that it caused their bill to increase by thousands of pounds."
