Google VPS is a bust, but Amazon aws.amazon.com can mine Bytecoin slowly. Each instance starts around 40 h/s then gets throttled down. But if you have multiple amazon accounts you can stay in the free tier. Then reboot the instance regularly and reconnect to kill the throttle for a while. azure.microsoft.com is a good way to cash in one time on a free trial. The will not charge you without confirmation. You can run 8 cores for a few weeks and get a lot of bytecoin. It is almost faster to play with faucets and free apps then cash out when you can and buy bytecoin.

yeah, aws free tier instances are t1.* only (so throttled/burstable)

however, if you have aws credits (i occasionally see people selling them here for around 7-10% their value) you can spin up spot instances of their more powerful instances for cheap

a g2.8xlarge will run at 2kH/s for around 0.5USD/hour ...not profitable unless XMR triples in value but if you get say 1200 $ credits for 100$, you can run 2 instances for almost 2 months to make about 50 XMR (so 600usd at current rates)

the only problem is you can't stack many credit codes together on the same account ...max 4 i think
