Post by: Luceo on July 14, 2012, 07:13:13 AM Looking forward to seeing some results with a C-based miner.
As I said on IRC, I'd be willing to test this on Blackberry 10 Alpha / Blackberry Playbook OS for you. Title: Re: Mining LTC on Android. Post by: film2240 on July 14, 2012, 10:19:24 AM When this miner comes out,I'd like to test it on an android phone. :)
Title: Re: Mining LTC on Android. Post by: Simran on July 14, 2012, 09:56:25 PM I'm already compiling Android! This time it was easier than the last time I had tot do this. I might have this C miner out faster than I expected! :)
Title: Re: Mining LTC on Android. Post by: str4wm4n on July 15, 2012, 04:57:30 PM this is a really good idea, and I could see mobile mining becoming popular especially if it uses the graphics hardware of the device
Title: Re: Mining LTC on Android. Post by: film2240 on July 15, 2012, 05:34:28 PM this is a really good idea, and I could see mobile mining becoming popular especially if it uses the graphics hardware of the device That would be good as long as I can tell it to be less aggressive in GPU use so I can still navigate around my phone.It's be even better if CPU and GPU can both be used as I'm determined to squeeze every drop of performance from all my devices (Nokia N900/router,etc as they're both run by ARM cpus and can be modified.) and computers (PC/MBP etc).Title: Re: Mining LTC on Android. Post by: Simran on July 16, 2012, 03:00:51 AM I just cross compiled pooler's cpuminer for my Kindle Fire. It's dual core! I'm getting 0.7 khash/s per core as opposed to 0.02 khash/s on the old Java miner I had coded awhile back! I'm gonna put this back on the Google PlayStore! I'll post pictures in a couple of minutes! :)

Post by: 2112 on July 16, 2012, 03:56:38 AM The original code by pooler was an awesome example of using Intel SSE (and/or AVX) to achieve great speedups (about 4 times?) with the help of SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data).
Did you attempted to use SIMD on ARM (where it is called NEON)? Title: Re: Mining LTC on Android.

This could give a 2-4 times speedup, depending on the exact details of the core used.There are many ways to use them: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dht0004a/CHDGDHIC.html http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dht0002a/ch01s04s02.html You could probably take a look and see how you can do on ARM things comparable to what pooler did on Intel.

This could give a 2-4 times speedup, depending on the exact details of the core used. Unfortunately not. I have already written a version of the scrypt core that uses NEON (it will be released in the upcoming cpuminer 2.2.3), and the speedup is only about 40% in the best case. There are various technical reasons for this, most importantly the lack of an instruction for bitwise rotation and the fact that current NEON coprocessors can only execute one instruction per cycle, with rare exceptions. The basic ARM instruction set, on the other hand, is pretty optimal for implementing this kind of hashing functions (thanks to the barrel shifter), but of course it cannot compete with the SIMD implementations of performance-oriented architectures. An example: a Samsung Galaxy S II (dual-core Cortex-A9 at 1200 MHz) can do about 1.64 khash/s with the current cpuminer code (hand-written ARM assembly), and about 2.3 khash/s with the to-be-released NEON implementation. The speedup is even more modest on Cortex-A8 processors. Title: Re: Mining LTC on Android. Post by: 2112 on July 16, 2012, 09:24:59 AM Unfortunately not. I have already written a version of the scrypt core that uses NEON (it will be released in the upcoming cpuminer 2.2.3), and the speedup is only about 40% in the best case. Thank you very much for your work and your comment.I actually don't have an ARM machine to play. I played a bit with a pre-release simulator for a device that incorporates an ARM core. And by "a bit" I mean "floating point only". Because of the pre-release status: 1) instruction timing could be inacurate 2) it could simulate a future version of the ARM core Thanks again.

a) Not everyone can install from the Play Store b) Not everyone has an Android device running 2.3 or higher, required just to download minerd (and setting up an emulator is a PITA for such a simple thing) Title: Re: AndLTC Miner!

Love the app but there are still some glitches. This is on android 2.3.3 with a tegra 2, I didn't test too much with my other devices:
-about 25% of the time, the drop down menu only has the option of 1 core. Quick fix would be to always have 1-4 as option -stops mining and resets the number of threads option to "1" about 80% of the time if I rotate the screen -when the screen turns off, it doesn't prevent idle clocks. This means my Atrix mines at like 200MHz. I tried it on my nexus 7 as well and the console listed speeds that make sense for 4 threads running on a 500MHz single core -credentials not saved -console doesn't autoscroll Title: Re: AndLTC Miner!

(Android LTC Miner)| NEON | PlayStore | Updated v0.7 08/07/12 Post by: muqali on October 22, 2012, 11:25:13 AM Any plans to update this to the newer APIs 16 and up for Android 4.1 and soon 4.2? I realize me buying the app isn't going to make you rich, but I think it's an awesome idea. More for the fact of "it can be done" and that it does expand what is possible.
I'd love to see this ported to the x86 android market as well as Windows RT! Title: Re: AndLTC Miner!

I'd love to see this ported to the x86 android market as well as Windows RT! It's using the API's for Android 4.1, and when I get more time due to school, I will update the app. I've already gotten a small list I want to add: 1. Fix when the device to turn(Keep mining) 2. Move API up. 3. Autoscroll in text box(Console) I'd love to see this ported to the x86 android market as well as Windows RT! x86 Android Market? Windows RT? I don't get it? Title: Re: AndLTC Miner!

The upcoming Medfield phones are also Intel based. I was under the assumption you could select multiple think APKs per architecture to compile for when you made an app. There was actually news that google just merged support for this into the Play store.
Windows RT I would think would be a logical place to port the code. The CPU in them is ARM, typically the same as in tablets and phones. It should be an easy port. Windows RT is "Windows 8" but for ARM SoCs. Title: Re: AndLTC Miner!

Since it is Intel, wouldn't the precompiled Intel binaries work? As for Windows RT, they current ARM binaries don't work? If not, I'll see wut2do. Gonna talk with pooler again.

No, the device isn't on the Google TV. You'd need to set it up to compile for a different CPU type. It appears Google just recently enabled this. I imagine you'd need to update your Android SDK on you machine and maybe the client SDK's not sure.

Given that this is really just to stroke our egos and make us feel like we're working, the numerically larger LQC mined "feels" better. I'm charging on solar anyway, so it isn't costing me.

(Android LTC Miner)| NEON | PlayStore | Updated v0.7 08/07/12 Post by: SynOps on December 27, 2012, 11:05:34 PM I have tried this (With the paid app) on my Nexus 7, and have not got it to work with 3 of the usually named LTC pool mining sites. I have not tried it on my HTC Rezound yet.
I get an error no matter the site i use, i have double checked every informational site and i seem to be entering everything correctly. My Nexus 7 is Rooted if that means anything to the situation.

On my Atrix, SGS and Nexus 7, more than 1 thread is not an option in the menu until I have changed the orientation to horizontal.
Have you been able to figure out why the miner stops mining and all the fields go back to default when the orientation changes? If you have abandoned development on this project, have you considered making it open source? Title: Re: AndLTC Miner!

Being a complete noob to mining I have a few questions.
I am trying to use this ap on my Driod Razr Maxx HD. (Specs http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_droid_razr_maxx_hd-4972.php (http://Specs http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_droid_razr_maxx_hd-4972.php)). I Also the phone can play HD videos would there be a way to tap into the graphics card and mine using GUI or something? EDIT: Just checked my stats at notroll again, and it has submitted 3 shares, and is doing 3.5 khash/s. This is using NEON with 2 threads. Thanks in advance. Title: Re: AndLTC Miner! (Android LTC Miner)| NEON | PlayStore | Updated v0.7 08/07/12 Post by: DBG on June 11, 2013, 07:36:51 AM Hey, could you post the source code on GitHub? I think it would allow for others to help out with the issues as well as help optimize for their platform. There is also the GPL issue (you would only have to post the part of the code that you use from pooler if you are worried about someone else ripping you off - although I think you have made a name for yourself). Also I'm unsure if pooler could wave the GPL rights, even though he's done a ton of work himself, others contributed as well and I think you'd have to go back to Jeff to get permission =p. But it shouldn't be about licenses, it would just allow improvements to be made by other Android developers.
Title: Re: AndLTC Miner! (Android LTC Miner)| NEON | PlayStore | Updated v0.7 08/07/12 Post by: mrspiffy on August 08, 2013, 08:49:29 PM This app seems to not support stratum+tcp:// pool addresses. More and more pools are ditching getwork in favor of stratum, so this app needs to get with the times or suffer the fate of 1 star reviews.
