Ask HN: Mined crypto on Azure when I was 13, after 12y still cannot open account
Hey all,
I have a very stupid confession, back when DOGE was first introduced, I didn't think much of it and followed a bunch of tutorials on how to mine it on free (and much less limited) Azure account.
I used up all of the credits and didn't think much of it...
Now, I am infra engineer with about 5 years of experience, I have multiple Azure certs, I use it everyday at work but I still cannot get MSFT to unlock my personal account or allow me to create a new one, citing fraud. At the beginning of my career I even got to be a part of the terrible Azure technical customer service and internal requests to lift it off of me didn't help.
Please advice is there any way to get to be a legitimate user of service again. Thank you.
