Title: Mining Bitcoins on basic phones
Post by: Polycoin on February 27, 2014, 05:12:46 PM
My friend told me that he mined 41 Bitcoins from his 2001 Nokia phone. So i'm wondering if it's worth it to mine Bitcoin or Litecoin from my 2004 Blackberry. Thoughts?

Your friend lied, mining from a phone isn't viable.

You will get about 174.8BTC / hour with a 1997 Motorola phone. But these are very rare nowadays... ::)

Exactly. There is not one single smartphone out there today that would actually be profitable mining on.
These devices are also not made to be 100% stressed for long periods of time.

it is impossible, even if it was possible there is no phone that could mine that amount of bitcoins..

hell, you would need a supercomputer for that..

your friend is probably making fun of you because you're a bitcoin newbie, don't take it personally :)

Don't listen to these guys, they just don't want you competing with them for the coins.

I am totally mining 2 BTC/day on my Prescott P4

Now now those old phones must have secret mining protocols that allow the units to operate as superminers  ;D
