Mining with mobile device

[pxo.011]

is this applicable or possible in BTCBTCBTCBTC

I am not familiar with mobile devices to be used in mining, but one question lingers on.  does it really have the computing ability like the graphics cards chips??? to those who experienced, how much they are mining in a day.  can it handle the computing requirement to mine digital currency?  hmmm.... interesting but no thanks...

for Better mining bitcoin i sugest to use computer, the result is also better.I think the mobile phone just for communication.

You can use the Electroneum app to mine Electroneum and then sell it and buy BTC instead. The app does not use much power on the phone. Its more a kind of POS (prove of stake) than POW (prove or work).

Is mining with mobile device a profitable venture today? I read a bit about this and learned that Monero maybe worth mining. then there's Electroneum as well. I wanted to know from other's experience.

One might ask why spend on buying phones. Instead get a PC. Thing is I have few old phones that I can't sell, I want to see possibility of getting some cost back before giving/throwing them away

This is maybe possible with some alt coins but in bitcoin or the some of the top currency it is not profitable mobile phone do not have enough hashing power to mine crypto why choose phones if you can buy computer but if you think again phone is more power saver than computer but dont have enough mining power than computer. good luck just invest if you think you can make profit.

Do not use your phone for me, I've tried to mine on freebitco.in site and do not produce anything, if anyone ever make it from mining via phone, the result is not too much.

Samsung has made a Bitcoin Mining Rig Out of 40 Old Galaxy S5s 

Their headlining project at Samsung’s recent developer conference was a 40-stack of Samsung Galaxy S5s turned into a Bitcoin mining rig. Not only were the phones able to mine Bitcoins, they were able to do it more efficiently than a desktop computer. In fact, eight Galaxy S5s can mine more efficiently than a computer with an Intel Core i7 2600.

Of course this is an experiment, but it serves to see the potential that can have relatively obsolete devices.

Mining BTC in mobile device? No way, forget about this.

[Chanock]

Using mobile phone in mining can encounter difficulties because mining is need a large CPU usage that mobile phone cannot supply. If you are using monero in mining through mobile phone its take to long time before you gain your expected bitcoin value. Mining is good and if you want to engage in mining it is better to use computer or laptop because it is ideal use for mining due to the large CPU capacity.

mining with mobile device an altcoin is not profitable you will just end up on losing your phone because phone has a li-on battery unlike computers they have a power supply and also they can handle the pressure of being used for a long term. i never had a mining rig since the electricity cost here in our country is really expensive so im just end up on getting a net loss.

Not profitable,   even if you think you're making a profit,  the battery will quickly deteriorate.

[Red-Apple]

every device is built to serve an specific purpose. what you are asking is like asking about how to cook a meal with your refrigerator! you can do that with its internal system if you break your fridge but an oven is meant to do what you are trying to do!

a cell phone is not designed to do hard calculations for long period of times. your battery is not meant for it either.
you can build a rig from mobile devices like what Samsung did with their galaxy phones but it is not going to be efficient

[reisuke24]

with pc is good one than with mobile device.
i dont know how much we can earn if mining with mobile, but it will make our battery broken slowly.
but i think many people will take risk to mining with mobile.
but i will use pc to do that

No, it's not profitable at all, the hash rate you can get with phone can't be compared to mining with gpu or even cpu. It's hard to get profit with cpu so don't expect to make money mining with phone because it's not made for mining. I think you'll break your phone first before you make some significant amount from it.

[esgdrhlg]

The machines used by professional miners are not comparable to those of our ordinary people.Them more efficient, this is a whimsical topic, I think the news is more likely is the people's attention turned to the currency mining, because we all know that mobile phone ARM CPU capacity than completely but the computer.

[OrcaTech]

Are you serious?! It will take forever to mine at least 1 BTC

using mobile device is not profitable. if you want your phone to last longer then do not mine in it.

[liutenko]

It's deffinitely bad idea mate... Don't do that please

if just to mine I think it can, but if to expect stable profit I think it will never be achieved. Because the smartphone is very limited to use mined altcoin.

Mining altcoins in mobile phone? its not possible as of today because it will surely make your mobile phone be on fire since they are not  designed for the purpose of mining and there is an prescribed mining equipment on that one and we shouldnt really bother at all on mining on mobile phones because its not profitable and you are really just wasting up your time.Better to save up money to buy graphics card and better to mine altcoins.
