蘋果決定明文規定　　嚴禁iOS和Mac apps掘礦

雖然虛擬貨幣升跌已經沒有之前那麼誇張，但活用電腦硬件掘礦，已經是相當普遍的事情。不止是PC電腦，過往早就有人知道如何活用iOS和Mac裝置去掘礦，甚至把有關功能隱藏在apps內。

蘋果過往沒有明文規定有關apps可否上架，但經過WWDC 2018後，蘋果終於決定寫到明，嚴禁相關掘礦apps上架。簡單一點來説，apps不能在背後做一些不相關的工作，除非掘礦工作是在雲端上進行，總之不能使用蘋果硬件去做有關掘礦工作。另外，apps也不能用虛擬貨幣作為獎勵，引誘用家下載apps、分享至社交網絡等。

英文原文如下：

Apps may facilitate virtual currency storage, provided they are offered by developers enrolled as an organization.” In addition, apps may not mine directly for cryptocurrencies, unless the mining is performed in the cloud or otherwise off-device. Apps may “facilitate transactions or transmissions of cryptocurrency on an approved exchange, provided they are offered by the exchange itself,” although apps facilitating Initial Coin Offerings (“ICOs”) must originate from “established banks, securities firms, futures commission merchants (“FCM”), or other approved financial institutions.” And finally, cryptocurrency-related apps “may not offer currency for completing tasks, such as downloading other apps, encouraging other users to download, posting to social networks.
