Thank you for the explanation of the crypto mechanic, I'll have to keep it in mind. Not sure if I love it as a drone reward, though.
Anyone who knows how to hack a safe can get 2 laser guns within 5 minutes by taking a quick trip to an easily-accessible part of the debris field, no drone combat necessary. Additionally, you can accumulate half a dozen phaser guns from the hunter-killer drones in the debris field if you're thorough, not to mention at least a dozen circular saws from the cutter drones. While most of the loot from drones is crap, the cyborg limbs are reasonably useful, and there can be reasons to seek out and destroy drones if you have adequate armor and a weapon.
Railgun drones are so prohibitively difficult to fight that I feel like there's no harm in having them drop a laser gun. It also makes marginally more sense than them dropping cryptocurrency.
Additionally, for RP, this is a moot point, as pods (and thereby the means to obtain this item) are access locked by default, thus limiting access to the Debris Field in general.

And if you do.. the rewards are crap!
