Title: MOBILE MINING??? Post by: Chilliedog on January 09, 2018, 04:29:08 PM Hello I'm a nerdy Jock with no real hardcore computer skills. I work with children with autism and I am a personal trainer. Point I'm trying to make is I have no clue how to even start mining, but I have developed a huge fascination for mining. My question, is it possible to mine from my laptop, smart phone, or tablet for free. I see a lot of mining apps but I'm not sure if they actually work it seems to easy to just watch videos to gain Bitcoin currency. I seriously want to become a miner. I have a lot of time and if I can see the benefit I can invest in more tools to mine. I would mine anything i know Bitcoin is out of the question. So I'm thinking more of the other less popular coins. If you can help please tell me how to start. Title: Re: MOBILE MINING???

Highlights to it: - You CANNOT meaningfully mine bitcoin with your PC or laptop no matter how powerful it is. - You CANNOT meaningfully mine bitcoin with your tablet or phone no matter how powerful it is. - Mining apps for your phone or tablet that claim to mine bitcoin are almost certainly scams. - You CANNOT find software here to mine bitcoin with your PC by itself. - You MIGHT be able to do one of the above with altcoins, but such discussion goes into the altcoin mining section. - You CANNOT find or post software here to mine on other peoples' PC without their permission.

- Mining apps for your phone or tablet that claim to mine bitcoin are almost certainly scams. Chilliedog, since you mentioned "watch videos to get Bitcoin", I'm sure it's not a mining software! It's probably an app that tries to make money from advertising. You won't get any financial benefit from that. For any serious mining you need specialized hardware, so-called ASICs miners or at least a GPU mining rig if you decide to mine altcoins. |
