Mining software for Android

[!saac]

Is there any software mining for Android and which one is better

[Aamir1]

I don't think so. And even if there is any, they will probably be a waste of time. A smartphone cannot earn you a lot of money by mining. People may create various applications naming them miners but they do this just to get some downloads for their applications but the applications do not generate any profit for the user. I have tried a lot of them already, and believe me, you better think of something else.

Fixed that for you

A cortex A9 (a common cellphone cpu) hashes at 1 Mh/s ... Compare this with an S9 ASIC which hashes at 14000000 Mh/s. you'd need 14 million cellphones to have the equivalent of 1 Antminer S9. An S9 makes about $14/day (before power costs), so a cellphone would make $14/14.000.000 = $0.000001 /day... That's less than 40 cents per 1000 years. After you substract your power cost, the cellphone will give you negative profit (without a doubt).

In Reality, There is an app for Bitcoin Mining in Android Phone. But, I never Heard That it is Actually Paying.

Before, I came Through Online Mining And I search For it Many Times,
and At Last, I Didn't found any Reliable,

I also Download Software apps In Playstore, Bitcoin Miners,
Also, Waste of Time.

And, The Worst case is It can Make your Phone Bootloop.

I feel the same old discussion coming up... Yes, there are apps out there that are able to do a sha256d hash of a block header while incrementing a nonce...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.justanothertry.bitcoinminer&hl=en
If you start reading the replys, the first reply actually indicating a hashrate was a guy who go ~6kh/s on a "Snapdragon 801". Other hashrates indicated were ~3kh/s, 2.7 kh/s,...

There are 7.600.000.000 people in the world. If they all had a relatively decent cellphone hashing at 6000 h/s (6kh/s), the total world population's hashrate would be 4.560.000.000.000 h/s

One single antminer S9 hashes at 14.000.000.000.000 hashes/second
4.560.000.000.000 / 14.000.000.000.000 = 0.32

This means that every person in the world should have 3 cellphones mining 24/7 with such an app to have the same hashrate as a single antminer S9

So, in conclusion, are there apps that can mine BTC... Theoretically, yes, there are apps that mine bitcoin. It's also possible to write an excel sheet that mines bitcoin, or you can mine bitcoin using pen and paper... However, in reality, the odds are so small i personally think it's better to say such a thing is impossible. If you tell people there are apps that mine bitcoin, it will only inspire them to run such an app, burn a lot of power, burn their phone, get nothing in return. By saying it's impossible, (hopefully) you don't give them crazy idears.

Indeed, in the mining on the phone does not make sense, because he does not have such capacities to farm worthy money, unless you want to get a penny.

Are there any coins that are only mined on cell phones?

there used to be projects like mangocoinz that portrayed themselfs as cellphone minable
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=902788.0

But if i understood the concept correctly (i never took the time to read the whitepaper tough), it was a (pre?)mined that was distributed to users when they ran the mangocoinz app on their cellphone while exercising. This makes them not cellphone minable, but you sstill needed a cellphone to receive mangocoinz.

As far as i know, there are no pow algo's that are designed to give an edge to cellphone cpu's or gpu's.

hello sir minergate is providing their andriod app with mining function .. but thier hash rate very bad

Lol, not their hash rate is so bad bro. Miner gate will detect the your mobiles core and mines with its hash rate bro. If you have start mining with the minergate in windows platform. If computer enables with the GPU cards you will be able to find the multiple hash rates mining in the software. If you runs it with all your cores even your computer fall down and hang up in other operations.

I don't really understand why people are making Mining software for android, while smart phone functions are only for communicating, though now they can also enjoy high quality games. But still, I think the smartphone is not a land or container for mining crypto currency.with the specifications and the current price of smartphone, I do not think it will be worth the income gained from mining using smartphone.

[elngotz101]

maybe there is but i think it is not paying....

[ethereumdiamond]

ofcorse maeby is posible all in future i think

[faanigee]

minergate software is available but android mining is not profitable.

[CJorbon17]

It is hard to mine crypto currency in the smartphones. it only applicable to the desktop .

But you can use the IoT networks connected to you smartphone to mine crypto. I even heard about viruses that utilizes your smart-home system (basically everything almost down to your oven) to mine btc. That's kinda scarry.
You probably will not pay attention to higher electricity bills if you afford smart house, and someone else would benefit from it.

is there a mining software for ios

[theavr]

Lets take a look from other side. People build monster pc's for mining, and even such powerfull machine needs a lot of time to get a cryptocurrency. So comparing power of  a Phone with a monster PC, guess how much time will it take to get a simple cryptocurrency, it gonna take years, do you need this at all? So, i hope no questions more

[nc50lc]

It is possible using the Online Pool Miners using your browser but don't expect too much.
I tried this and got a hilariously low result like 10-20H/s. That has an average of 1 satoshi per 2 minutes.

In the contrast, If you are able to mine about 100devices that can earn a profit.
Definitely not an option for a regular user.
 

[theavr]

Agree with such mentions about multidevices. Like hacking about 1000 top android phones - will give you a result, Not sure about mentioning the smart house system, cause its not even as powerfull as phone, but if hackers use it maybe they get smth out of it BTC
