It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

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!

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

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? |

-- 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?
had to tweak some function names in cgminer e.g. #if defined(__BIONIC__)
d64 = betoh64(*data64);
#else
d64 = be64toh(*data64);
#endif
also removed the pthread check in the cgminer configure script when I say i modified the pthread_cancel behavior, I basically turned the cancel call into a SIGTERM...i didn't rewrite the code to do the "right" thing (though, i initially tried and failed). regarding the android build files for cgminer, i had to create the main Android.mk and ones for ccan and jansson. the tricky part in all this was passing/setting the right build environment variables to "configure" for libcurl and cgminer (there are several blogs and forums describing this stuff, but it's still tricky. the Android.mk file in curl is a pretty good reference). |

Is really nice what people can do...
What speed does it get?
and can you mine on the Gpu of it or is it only Cpu?

trolololo is it strange I asked that or something? (Im still a noob in mining, so I may ask stupid questions...  ) |

trolololo is it strange I asked that or something? (Im still a noob in mining, so I may ask stupid questions... ) 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  So the device doesnt mine but controlls the mining devices? |

Then he uses the phone to control the BFL Single, which does the mining. Big difference. |

the phone itself gets around 500 KH/s via CPU mining...not something you'd want to run.
