Title: Mining on an Android phone (galaxy nexus) CPU and BFL single Post by: kaerf on October 18, 2012, 01:19:32 AM I managed to get cgminer running on Cyanogenmod 9.1.0
http://youtu.be/c9hBRljvZPI I think the phone uses about ~3 watts.

That is way too awesome :) I need to change my phone asap Title: Re: Mining on an Android phone (galaxy nexus) CPU and BFL single Post by: crazyates on October 18, 2012, 03:33:45 AM I've seen a lot of people spaming their videos for the BFL contest, but that's the only one I've legit been impressed by. Good Job!
Title: Re: Mining on an Android phone (galaxy nexus) CPU and BFL single Post by: Valalvax on October 18, 2012, 03:39:49 AM I'd change the subject to a much more accurate "using Android phone as BFL host"
Has the benefit of not sounding like one of those "I can use phone as miner cause they use like no power I don't care how efficient they are" noobs Title: Re: Mining on an Android phone (galaxy nexus) CPU and BFL single Post by: yrtrnc on October 18, 2012, 07:07:22 AM Hey, good job... ;D
Did you post it on the butterfly labs forum, you could win a BFL single SC. https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showthread.php/37-Article-Contest-Post-a-video-Win-a-BFL-Single-SC!?highlight=android Title: Re: Mining on an Android phone (galaxy nexus) CPU and BFL single Post by: Zeek_W on October 18, 2012, 10:05:02 AM awesome work!

Requires : -- Cyanogen source, compile custom kernel -- libcurl -- build files for cgminer -- tweak cgminer pthread behavior (pthread_cancel) -- compile ftdi kernel module -- usb host mode working Miss anything?

What speed does it get? and can you mine on the Gpu of it or is it only Cpu?

(Im still a noob in mining, so I may ask stupid questions... :P) Lol, both questions were kind of stupid yeah :) What speed does it get? It gets to the maximum of BFL Single, +800 Mh/s, as the phone only acts as a controlling device, where the actual miner is functioning. and can you mine on the Gpu of it or is it only Cpu? None actually, is the BFL's FPGA that is mining away. You could say some mining is made on the Android phone CPU because the miner that handles all the operation is working on it, but no actual hash calculations are carried on the phone. Hope it helps.

Oh ok, now its clear to me :D So the device doesnt mine but controlls the mining devices?

Title: Re: Mining on an Android phone (galaxy nexus) CPU and BFL single Post by: kaerf on October 23, 2012, 11:25:57 PM the phone itself gets around 500 KH/s via CPU mining...not something you'd want to run.
