Bitcoin Forum

Okay, so majority of my gadget usage is on my iphone. Is it possible mine bitcoins using my own iphone? Because if yes, then definitely it will be a great comfort and it would also be advantageous since it is portable and reliable. Any thoughts?

Your phone is superweak if compare with ASIC, so you dont even think about this. If it can, your phone will be burned before you get 0,000000001 BTC. You rather buy an ASIC or buy PC miner and mine ETH is more effective. :D

Yes you can use your phone to mine bitcoin but this is not good to do because mining need to open 24/7 to get good income and need to have good mining set up. Your phone will be damge because it will be over heated once you open the browser and start to mine also it will not generate much high income compare to gpu mining set up. Do some research first and set the plan and budget before you build a good mining site.

It would not worth enough for you to buy a cup of coffee, man. :)

Learn what mining REALLY is about and what it takes to do it.
Lose the Wide-eyed Wonderment over your toys and perhaps investigate what is inside them and how they actually work.
Phones are media consumption toys - NOT data processors.

I would not do that if i were you that thing of beauty will not do anything good in mining
if i were you ill just use it to more profitable way and its for paperworks, and things that lots better,
and for your mining , ill suggest you get an asic miner since i think you can afford lots of asic

If you think that with gadgets you can do mining then it could be. but i have never heard that we can do mining with iphone. if it can then it will not matter because we know how the ability of an iphone. you will only get a little profit and will lose your iphone, high performance and unsuitable will make things you do in vain. you may only get a few cents and that is of no value at all in this day and age. doing mining means the performance of the system and hardware will be used maximally, therefore you can not use iphone you have with normal. many of the losses you will get. buy RIG and will feel the benefits !!! .

I think Apple is not for mining as it is impossible or difficult to connect videocards

Its not profitable to use your phone for maining. Main reason that its not good for your phone, its not intended for this purpose. Really funny get expensive phone and try to mine on them

I think there are no way how to do it. I'm always wondering when somebody tries to mine on apple

please let me know how to mine

Buy an Antminer S9. Do more research

you have a real pc  and an okay smart phone.

I used to be an Apple freak, but when mining came out I stopped buying apple gear.

It will take time but unless Apple changes to embrace mining  I see them dying.

Apple freak pays 999.99  for iPhone

smart guy pays 799.98 for decent smart phone and a mining pc

Mining bitcoin or any cryptocurrency on the phone is a very bad idea. With very low hashrate, you won't even get close to making electricity money back. Mining these days require ASICS. Or at least computer GPUS.
Another problem with phone mining is that phone can get very damaged from mining.

You cannot mine bitcoin with your iphone, so you should get that first. However, there are some altcoins you can mine with your phone but as long as you are comfortable with 10 satoshi per day when you convert them to bitcoin, then you have no problem.

Yes man.It's not at all possible to mine any altcoin even in IPhone. Who said you, it's possible to mining is possible in IPhone. To mine you need advanced PC with Graphics card and a cooler. Cooler is cool down the heat produced after Mining. If you try Mining in IPhone means,your phone will blast.Don't try .

In phone?

Yes.In phone it is not possible to mine at all .It may be a any low cost altcoin. That also not at all possible to mine.Even you have IPhone means, it's not possible to Mine.For Mining, not even domestic PC is suitable. It need of high configuration PC with Graphics card to mine. Better skip the plan to do Mining with IPhone.

Try to take an apple and put it somewhere cool, you just plug in the ethernet cable in the apple (where it is softest), wait for it to connect to the internet,
when done, install the FruitMiner 2.1 and off you go.

Your Iphone or any Smartphone is not designed for heavy calculations like mining, its designed for communications and other small tasks. i've seen a youtube video of a man with several smartphones in front of him used for mining. This will definitely shorten the life service of the phone itself and i think the earnings is not that promising compared to mining using GPUs.

At first I thought you were talking about mining with a MacBook but with an iphone?  It would not work or even be profitable if it did. 

Yeah I assumed he had some Macbook Pro or some Apple tower and wanted to mine some alts.

When I read that he wanted to mine with his iPhone and mine Bitcoins for that matter, then I lol'd.

:D
I actually tried mining with macbook pro 2014. a year+ ago, with macminer, I think I got like 5 cents daily with the best coin,
now it is probably close to 1 cent.
