Well it seems that each A100 is about 2.5 - 3 times faster than V100 so I won't even try for now. I have to ask my professor and it's going to be a pain accessing it anyway.
But it's interesting how computing power is basically the only thing required. I guess is just a matter of time until someone with access to a supercomputer might give it a try...

...and then get arrested like this guy? https://www.itnews.com.au/news/csiro-it-contractor-spared-jail-for-mining-monero-on-supercomputer-553535
On a more serious note, the software will have to improve to a level where it's not experimental before people start investing their resources into it.
Agree 100%. All sorts of people are resorting to crime, using resources without authorization, simply for profit. The reality is that it may very well work for a while but chances are statistically high that they will get a visit from the authorities. Anything related to crypto is by design built to leave 'some' traces. It's not a good business to steal computing power - whether that's for mining, things like this puzzle or anything related to crypto, really. They're just too many variables involved in terms of security and I'm not really sure who's dumb enough to think they will get away with it.
