This is correct. The VMs on a free trial are very underpowered.
Lets not give people excessively high expectations.
Mind you, the price of GRC is far below its ATH and will continue to rise, so the profit will be more if you hold the coins for a while.
The Google Compute servers are not underpowered this guy is clearly using the wrong project I was on had 30 mag (TN-Grid). No wonder he/she had 2GRC per day he/she is using Amicable Numbers!
Yeah, if he was running CPU work for AM then that is a little inefficient. At the moment 30 mag is about 5 GRC per day, so its a fair bit better. How long ago was this? Competition has gone up a lot over the past 2 months.
I think the VMs are underpowered, unless you go for the gruntier ones but they are much less cost effective for the price you pay based on what I looked at.
Yes it's not cost effective to actually buy these VMs but for the free trial why not, this was last month so yeah competition has gone up!
