Hi, a friend was telling me of a coin he was mining on his phone. Are there any good coins with a great potential that can be mined on a mobile?
thanks in advance

you shouldn't mining on phone

Thanks for the reply :)

I think.. mining altcoins is very good in PC high specification or with rig
if you want use phone / mobile , its make temperature of your phone very hot and very risky..
maybe sometimes can exploded

Both those links concern malware. No problem running a miner on a phone if you know what you're doing.

I dont think its a wise move to use your phone for mining, ive read before that it was unprofitable and ive seen some site offering that, it was the dumbest move to do. Cashing out was too high plus your earnings is to low in 24hrs. It will take you years before cashing out and before you get the coins, you already spent a lot of money haha

Electroneum (ETN) was made to simulate mining on phone. In that case mining on phone wouldn't be so stressful for phone.
But they didn't release mining on phones because of easy attacks which can be done through phones.

malware or not malware...phone have poor heatsink and every phone can overheat. Secondary, all phone batteries doesn't like 24/7 heating

Electroneum (ETN) (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/electroneum/) will be available for "mining" on phones soon .

Official Website (http://electroneum.com/)

Dump the battery and run with charger, set a fan up to cool your phones, dump 20-30 of them in an mineral oil tank to cool them, take the plastic shell off to help with cooling etc etc. Like I said "if you know what you're doing".

Wait what u really want to mine with your phone
It’s definitely not worth it
Not only will u reduce ur phone life by a lot u might actually fry them sooner or later
Also they will use a lot more energy then they will produce coins unless u use newer models and it’s a lot better to buy a Cpu rig for mining then buying mobiles for mining
Theoretically is possible and even practically it’s doable but in real world usage it’s not worth doing it unless u are doing it just as a hobby

That is no longer mobile nor a phone.

The only time I'd consider mining with a phone is if I was stranded in a broken down car in a blizzard
and it was my only source of heat.

I tried to mine monero coin. Checked after a while it looked like the phone is burning. I will never use to mine anything on phones neither on laptop or pcs.

I bet mining on phone will kill your battery in no time from having to recharge multiple times per day. Hashrate would be so low surely can't make up the cost of new battery or phone replacement.

are there any free virtual machines online where we can at least mine little altcoins aside from popular amazon, google, azure platforms?

I tried with my mobile phone to mine some coins. can not expect a big profit .

Please, do not destroy the phones with nonsensical activity. They're not ready - power, cooling, batteries, power consumption, ... Just do not do it.

Am not a professional but i don't think this is technically possible with a large blockchain size (after large adoption) and we can compare this to the ethereum blockchain (over 200gb) and the bitcoin blockchain (over 140gb) causing scale issues and block size insiffusance. Be logic and wait for advanced technology that can solve those problems.

So far, no one recommends mining with mobile phones, by viewing insufficient mining capacity in mobile phones, most miners use PCs using GPU components and CPUs that have been recommended by many miners, ETN is the first project that allows us to mine via mobile phones but in this improvement is still done in terms of security so it still can not be applied

CPU also dead including with the mobile phone mining because they will give the better hash power to mine the good and potential coin. I have tried once to mine the BCN with my computer CPU cores and one graphics card in my computer.
You have to go with the cheap coin with the CPU mining, that is no more profitable to mine the any cryptos who is focusing on the profit.

By just merely reading members comments good and bad it I learned slowly the advantages and disadvantages or dos and don’ts in bitcoin mining. Thank you all for very informative posts.
