When will mobile phone can useable for minig. Is mining too much hard that mobile can not capable, which functions will make mobile capable for mining?and when ?

Using mobile phones for mining is not encouraging. It can destroy your mobile phone. The computers with high RAM or capacity are the recommended devices for mining. If you still want to try your luck with phone, then you may try. But hopefully, the phones may have supporting features in future.

it is hard for a mobile phone to be use for mining it has no capacity to be used in mining it is not like a PC that can be customized and be used for mining the specification of a PC cant be done in a mobile phones so as of now it is impossible.

Its not doable .

Mobile is not capable of doing that because they have very low processor that can only have few hashes per seconds and thus it is not sufficient enough to process big algorithm that are sent by the pools and the rewards get decreased. Literally you will end up earning almost nothin and I believe that you will also end up having your phone damaged over the time.

But I have heard there is a mobile phone used to mine bitcoin but that's not much profitable and it will probably die before mining enough crypto to pay itself off. Have you heard Electroneum? It is the first cryptocurrency that allows users to mine coins with a mobile phone using apps but unfortunately, they say that there are malicious apps that can turn your phone into a silent miner that is making money for someone else. How could it be? Lol.
Yes, you can mine other cryptocurrencies using your Android device. But again, it is not that profitable.

See my source: https://www.quora.com/Can-I-use-Android-for-bitcoin-mining#

Too much of desire. Mobile phones are not meant for mining even how good the specifications is. Although that is possible in the future, it will just be considered once mass adoption take place. When I say mass adoption, bitcoin is now mostly used as a currency and accepts at majority of countries in the world.

Mining is not for small time, let's be straight about it. If one wants to pursue mining then go purchased mining rigs and not with the used mobile just to think that it will more less expensive.

From now on, erase the mindset of getting into mobile mining and think of other way around.

It is not a good idea to mine with your phone, that generates less.

I think it can be a matter of difficutly set for mining. Why not to make fairly easy tasks, but linked specifically to smartphone features. There's already one famous mobile mining project called Electroneum, but I guess they just made it too difficult to mine coins, so the project is nearly dead. At the same time, I can see potential problems with making mining easier. One could perhaps simply install an android simulator to a pc and pretend to mine from phone, while actually using much more powerful machinery. But I am sure that if someone really tried to make things work, such problems could be eliminated (the easiest way in this case would be to set an artificial mining limit which protects phone mining from pcs by not letting to mine more at a certain period of time than the best phones can. The difficulty could then be adjusted when technology moves forward).

it seems that mining on a cellphone is very small, because mining solves an algorithm that is very difficult to solve. on a computer it needs a great computer because if we have a computer with a small spec it will take a long time to get it especially when mining on a mobile phone. but i hope someday, mining can be done on the mobile phone

Not really smart when choosing the phone for mining. It will waste your time and make your device fail if it is used for mining. I do not even see any phones that can be mined. Perhaps in the future this idea will be developed

Even if the phone is ever invented capable of mining, it will be very expensive.But technology is developing and this means that such phones will soon be available.

Ofcourse it's more profitable,if you do a mining in mobile phone.But unfortunately it's not possible as of now.
May be in future, it's possible to mining in mobile phone.But it's not a smart move as of now.It's not easy to set a mining setup in a PC.You have to add some components for Mining and cooling of PC.If you start a mining setup in mobile phone,may be your phone will destroy due to overheating.

There are two problem in mining on mobile phone, the first one being its computing power will be lower compared to a desktop CPU, ASIC or GPU even though you will own the most expensive and most latest mobile phones out there. Second is its battery life, in cryptocurrency mining you would need to mine almost 24/7 to make profits and that only means you would need your miner to be open 24/7 too which is not applicable in mobile devices as it has limited battery life and the only way to extend it is by charging and it is not advisable to use a mobile phone while charging as it can overheat and explode.

I don't think it is possible yet to mine using your phone, even using pc the miner need to set up so many sophisticated equipment to make profit, the components of mobile phone won't able to resist the heat of constant mining, and phone is not created to be used for mining, if you force to used it for mining, the phone maybe could explode

I am using Electroneum on my mobile phone to mine. at first, it was good. but I noticed that the value of the coin is dropping tremendously. it will take you a very long time to earn money from it.if you want to try it, feel free to try it. but of course, The best way to earn coins is to use a desktop computer with High Specs.

So harding, you can using electroneum for mining at this time but not have much ETN for rewards at this time if your devices not strong.

I dont think so mobile phone has no capacity and it's specifications has low memory, storage, video card and cpu and it may cause to overheat and in the end it may destroy your phone unlike Personal computers that can be customized to the specs that are suited for mining and can be upgraded if it gets outdated.

simple, mobile phone are built for communications, it has limited features because of its compactness, if you force your mobile phone's RAM, it will hang up, heating problems are one of the factors of damaging your phones, there are apps that is for mining bitcoins but turns out to be fake, the idea of mining using phones are a product of marketing, ads and other phishing hackers. therefore, phones are not for mining.

currently there are many parties that are developing mining applications for smartphones. but no one has really tested and succeeded.
I hope that later there will be applications that really function as mining tools on smartphones.

I look forward to that

i think in our current mobile technology its not possible. the electronuem mobile mining does not mine like a normal mining would do, its only a simulated mining that base its payout in your mobile specs if you have high spec phone you can mine more etn in the mobile app.

There is just too many issues with this. With our current technology I don't think it's a possible to make any profit worth noting. There is overheating issues and on top of that you would be charging the phone all day.

I think it will be very difficult, if the use of the phone can be exploited, there will be too many crises in search and exchange

This guys have miner for your smartphone: https://www.mibcoin.io/ but it is for their cryptocurrency-MIB coins.

Never every try to mine it from the mobile because the amount you would not make it much more you would spent on electricity, over heating phone, charging too much as battery will drain quickly and finally you would lose your phone due to this mining and slowness .

You can already do a simulation mining through your phone for some altcoins.

Just imagine on how small our phones to mine with the use of its CPU and compare it to the hardware that's being used to mine.

I am trying mining on mobile but it's not work. It's very difficult mining for mobile user.
Many low quality mobile are not support it but many good mobile use mining. Sometime hang mobile for mining

This way is very insecure. You need to know that the mobile phone is the most useful place for users, and it is easy to be monitored by hackers. Mobile phone mining is not recommended.

It will be very difficult to find cryptocurrency by phone. I think it needs a big configuration to find. That isn't easy.

If mining can be done on mobile phones then I guess we don't need some high end computers and gpus just to mine cryptos but then again this is absurd and don't hope for it or it will just end up exploding to your face.

I don't know why many people wants to mine when it's not that profitable in consideration of many factors. Just do trading instead.

I'm using Sony Xperia Z3 and I use electroneum app to mine etn coins. Its very good. If you want to give it a try then download the app and use my code E239CA, it'll benefit us both. You can get 10 Etn each day if it's on continues mining. I haven't had any differences in performance of my phone.

Mobile mining is very hard and it's not safe.  When I am try for mining it's not work sometimes mining hang my mobile

First I don’t think it will be much profit, and second you will drain your mobile battery so fast it’s not even be remotely worth it. 

Don't try to dig up mobile devices. This may be a trap. Will steal your personal information, or key.

The mining by mobile can slow your phone and take it to dangerous etat so i advice you to buy antiminer for mining

Mining on mobile phone is not profitable  :-\
We made an article about How to start mining cryptocurrency? | Beginner's Guide (https://blockchainmuffin.com/how-to-start-mining-cryptocurrency), so if you are interested click in  ;)

This is very difficult, because training training requires the following server. While the phone has a lot of limitations.
You can refer to this article LINK (https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/3kvdv9/samsung-upcycling-galaxy-s5-bitcoin-mining-rig)

Mobile is not capable of doing that because they have very low processor that can only have few hashes per seconds and thus it is not sufficient enough to process big algorithm that are sent by the pools and the rewards get decreased.

Now you can mine with mobiles, but the profit is too low to burn the phone that way, maybe in future when we have good video cards on mobiles then we will be able to use them to mine with nice profits. Now days mine with movile is almost the same than mine with CPU, both are a waste of time, energy and hardware.

If now days you want to mine from phone with some profits, you need a phone like this: https://www.xataka.com/moviles/asus-rog-phone-caracteristicas-precio-ficha-tecnica

Mining on your mobile device is not recommended right now. The computational power required by most crypto algorithms will put too much strain on the components and overheat your device and risking premature failure. Perhaps in the future they will refine the software and tech to make it more feasible but for now just stick with cpu, gpu or asic mining.

Absolutely not worth it.
Of course, for the sake of interest, you can try app like Minergate or similar.
However, in general, in our time, mining is a matter for professionals who are ready to invest large amounts of money in equipment.

If possible use your old phone, because current mining APP are still in BETA
cant turnoff the screen while mining also it turns a bit hotter

i would suggest buy cheaper phone with a lots of CORES

I don't recommend it at all bro. Your phone isn't meant to process loads of data and heat which is what a mining rig should handle. I own several mining rigs and I can tell you that it can turn a cool room into a sauna lol. Imagine letting your phone do that job.

it will take much time to make mobile capable for mining. as long as the mobile develop more, I believe in the next 5 years it will be created.

This is not profitable, i swear.

Downloaded an app onto an old phone to check it out. 0.00000745.59 BTC in approx. 8 hours of run time. Ad filled, and annoying, but I am going to stick with it until withdrawal limit is reached to further investigate. (App found on google play. "Bitcoin Miner".)

What do you think about mining apps in general? There are a lot of them in Google Play. I am just starting to get to know myself with altcoin story and looking for up to 10 coins to invest too. I have been trading in FOREX for a couple of years and I would like to find some new project to invest too. Maybe there is a new BTC out there that is waiting to be discovered and presented to the world. The last weeks I was looking into cheap options for the bottom and comparing their characteristics. I was recommended to check something called BTCN which reached marketcoincap in a really short period of time and the main thing that there are advertising is the easiest mining process and the app that works like Switz clock. So I decide to give it a go along with a BTC mining app so we will see how it works.

There are a lot of apps for mobile mining, but the problem is that the phone is getting hot and can damage it in time and also battery will not last so much as before if continue mining. The only app i use now is ETN app and i get ETN and phone not getting hot and also not consume so much battery. Maybe someone will make a phone for mining, but i don't know when or if worth or can be made a such phone.

i dont think phone can mining  :-[

Electroneum (ETN) simulated mining for newbies, no real mining work is done - basically an airdrop  :)

I've already thought about about mobile mining but now smartphones aren't so smart  ;D Well maybe in the future when our phones will become more powerful we will be able to enjoy a mm)

That is why new projects should focus on technology used to build a coin. Maybe this is a good approach and something that they should work on in the future. To make the process easily accessible to the masses. Plus any kind of special mining device is a good product to work on. Amazon Kindle for mining  ;D

i FULLY not suggest u do mining of mobile.
First becoz due to mining, your cpu will easily got heat then other apps , your phone lifespan will shorter.
Second if u not familiar with cyber security , the mining apps might got malware, which will steal your information like facebook etc.
Third not worth it. u can get cents only if use phone to mining and if the app want to scam you, they can higher their min. payout and u will give up urself!

Agree, not profitable and there are better ways to burn your phone.

Even mining with the best CPU on the market isn't business nowadays, the complexity is really high and the competition is tough. So if you want to mine forget about doing it with your phone if you really want to see profits.

Don't try mining in mobile, it's not recommended. Because ykur mobile maybe will be hang or overheat. Mining for one month not get new mobile, but your mobile will be died.

Mobile mining is a joke, or the way to lose all your personal information from your device. Please be careful and avoid it.

Mining on mobile phone isn't make it got more coin, it only make your mobile phone hot maybe can make it explode. But i see other my friend using to mining ETN (Electroneum). You can get it on your Playstore or appstore

too much power consumption, but phone still can do mining. try by your self, first go to the software store, look for some mobile mining software and install it, then plug your phone to charge and then open it to run mining (choose coin) until you get bored.

- for me phone is not for mining -
