Samsung galaxy s5 mining bitcoin?

[ivrynx]

i've encountered this article a few days ago,it's saying that samsung wants to use its mobile phones for mining, and there is also a video that came with it, there were a lot of phones, inserted in one platform, and then they perform mining, still i doubt it, though samsung is a great company, still they want to advertise their products, i guess it's all for publicity so more people will buy them. i think if the technology they created was true, why would they sell it to public, rather than mine their own bitcoins, using that technology, and even if it were true, it will still be costly. for now, what we can do is to keep on an eye on samsung, since there was a rumor back then that satoshi nakamoto is not a person but a group of businesses and samsung is allegedly one of them, maybe they can create a mobile mining system.

I just saw this on a blog. Indian based blog. How possible really is mining bitcoin through your mobile phone(samsung galaxy s5 to be specific).

From what i saw. It seems that the samsung company set the phones like those hardware miners. Theyve also stated that a 7 samsung galaxy s5 can mine faster than the i7 core gpu. If this is really a success it could really be a big help for us. We can easily buy some of this 2ndhand samsung phones and can easily be in the business

A lot of news about the mining of samsung s5. Some say even 40 samsung s5 can be faster than computer, etc. But what I found was only a matter of discourse or trial news. I have not found some success story about this, about how long the phone can survive, how much time it takes, and how much will get in a certain period of time with the samsung mining.

Oh look, I'm only 7 short of old S5s building a rig that's more efficient than a desktop lol. But seriously, you're much better off getting desktops or actual mining rigs instead.

This is cool and all, but it really doesn't seem viable. How long would these phones last when used for mining 24/7 anyway? They're not built for that kind of usage.

Ive always wondered about this. Ive tried mining apps on phones, they suck ass for the most part. but I have always wondered if you suspended android, and just used all that beautiful hardware and gpu, what would really happen. I guess this LOL. but these devices arent really designed for all that noise, and the batteries will rapidly degrade. I have a hotspot that has seen some crazy ass man hours of use; its totally on its last leg. swollen battery (which is dangerous) and a non responsive touch screen (yet i havent interacted with the screen for years).

miners are the best bet, esp given that electricity will be your fuel you want the most efficient device (not the most inexpensive device) because the difficulty will increase.


this is like Cuba with that playstation supercomputer

I've read about this news lately seems like samsung is trying to give life again to older phones by using them in creative ways such us security cameras and bitcoin miner (grouping 40 phones S5) that run on a custom OS not android. Personally I don't think it's enough to mine but  there is this picture that describe the power of those 40 phones grouped toghter : https://i.imgur.com/zeg7tc5.png

using smartphone for mining bitcoin is possible because many people did that before, however, using smartphone has disadvantages such as the amount of bitcoin 1 smartphone can earn is very small, so they use many smartphones, however, it costly buy smartphones and it can dammage your batterlife or explode when use it a whole day.

Oh thats good news to us if samsung galaxy s5 can mine bitcoin. If that's true I will buy samsung galaxy s5 so I can mine bitcoin because for me its very hard to mine because I don't  have personal computer i have only laptop that't not porfitable for mining. For sure if that happen we can earn bitcoin with the use of mobile phones but I dont know how it is really works. Because for sure they have negative effects to your phone.

I tried this website and it gives you satoshis which need to be claimed. Amount of headache and ads it provides is not worth it. For 12 hour consistent rapid claiming, it produces satoshis worth of 6 cents. This could improve.

i don't think that using cell phone to mining bitcoin will give best result because the specification of the cellphone is not too good for mining and i think it will make the cellphone getting burn so fast. if i have samsung galaxy s5, i won't use the cellphone for mining because i don't want my cellphone getting damage. i think its better to use hardware mining like s9 and else to mining bitcoin which is design to mining sha-256 and we can mining without having worried something bad will happen.

Freebitco.in also offers mining through browser and I try it on my mobile phone and yes it's possible for or smartphones to mine bitcoin but it really takes a lot of patient because the earnings are really low its like 30 satoshi per hour. I just don't know how much satoshi can mine to samsung galaxy S5 it's a good idea anyway because you don't have to do anything and just wait for few hours and you can start receiving satoshi, its better instead of gambling which has no assurance of income.

freebitcoin does not mine bitcoin but an altcoin called minero(which is obviously  not worth it. It may be better if you will be the one mining that from your server than on freebitcoin). Unlike samsung galaxy s5 which truly mines a real bitcoin.

Is it really not worth it? If the article is true that the 7 samsung galaxy s5 phones can mine better than the gpu i7 core then I can really say that it is a way more better. Now the only thing here that makes me think about its worth is the durability of the device(can the device also mine the same period of time of the native hardware miners)

[Haitham]

doesn't make so much sense to me. i don't expect a good hash from a smart phone.

[jay93]

if true samsung s5 can for mining, if it is true I will buy samsung s5 now.

[r0nald82]

yeah it will and can mine but how much you will get is the right answer for this issues   do you know the difficulty of bitcoin mining right now? it's 1,452,839,779,146
do you think that even the most gpu+cpu in smartphone can hash that numbers?  

[cold cool]

Very creative and ideas, but the phone cpu, computing power keep up, it is recommended developers to develop Android app to dig bitcoin so that more people can get bitcoin.

I don't think Samsung Galaxy S5 is specific in anything. All Samsung hardware are almost the same.

It isn't same at all in s5 they used to have snapdragon while all new models after s5 had Samsung's own chip set exynos.

It's totally not worth it. Smartphones are not made to be working with 100% load for an extended period of time. The components will degrade much quicker if the processor will keep the elements heated up for days or weeks and the battery will go through multiple charge/discharge cycles within 24 hours. You'll just kill your phone if you try to mine and the amount of coins mined will be very low.

You should have atleast read the article once that's what samsung is trying to tell you 'There are millions of phones simply being kept around they can be used for mining as they still have lot of power left in them'.

i saw that news somewhere in a facebook page. samsung use a lot of s5 to mine bitcoin and it was stated that it is more efficient than mining through gpus but they didnt say that it earns more bitcoin by using those rather than mining through gpus, i believe mining through cp is a lot weaker than using gpus/cpu.

They even mentioned it is better than mining of i7 something but again electricity prices are really important if someone decides to mine.

no joke.. how much you get if you mining from samsung s5? is that better than antminer? 

anyone, please tell me if this method success, because i want to try.. 

Read the article if you have any phone simply kept in your home it's better if you use it for mining that's what they are trying to tell you.

Oh thats good news to us if samsung galaxy s5 can mine bitcoin. If that's true I will buy samsung galaxy s5 so I can mine bitcoin because for me its very hard to mine because I don't  have personal computer i have only laptop that't not porfitable for mining.

if true samsung s5 can for mining, if it is true I will buy samsung s5 now.

Stop telling any bs for the sake of posting antminer is anyday better and the power they got was from 40 s5 which can cost more than a antminer.

[LodisMcguire]

For now maybe mining with smartphone is not profitable and waste of money
But i hope in the future smartphone company will develop a specific smartphone that support mining with low cost

[cryptolk]

I saw some apps also in play stores. Tried two apps. But I's mainly caused to heat the phone while working. Also It may cause to severe damages of GPU and CPU

I do not think it really works. Although the gadget has a high specification. Mining requires high-specific devices to get good results. If only using an android phone it's like a nonsense.

yes, maybe I also think like that, gadgets will not be able to do mining, because I think everything just need a tool that must be done specifically, and only used for PC only, because this gadget is designed only to communicate only and some. feature with small size.

It is possible to mine on android mobiles but there is no use of mining with android mining lookout's researchers calculated that if you're mining for 24 solid hours you'd only earn .00000007 Bitcoin.bitcoin are hugely valuable (over $600USD per Bitcoin), and therefore require huge resources to mine. But even less valuable cryptocurrency, like Litecoin, are beyond the reach of mobile miners.So its better not be fooled invest something to earn good amount of bitcoins.
