When will smartphones used for bitcoin mining?

[kumala_abi]

Dear everybody,
In my opinion, this is a good idea but i think it will be hard to do because the technology of manufacturing smart phone though is growing very fast but requiring technology for the bitcoin mining equipment is also increasing.

smartphone hardware spesification was not suitable for mining operational.mining tools need high endurance , cause it used 24hours x 7 days.i am worry if smartphone used to mining its hardware would explode.

In the future maybe with technological sophistication, smartphones can become virtual wallets that will make it easier for us to trade bitcoin.

In future, it is not imposible for smartphones to be used in mining. As we all know, smartphones nowadays are keep on upgrading its specifications like the ram. So far, the highest ram that a smartphone has is 6gb ram which is equivalent to the ram of some computers which means that a smartphone can do what a computer do now.

It can consume a lot of power and energy if someone uses a phone for mining and its very prone to shorten the lifespan on hardware because its not intended yet for very high computing like mining but a continuous research may answer all our questions in the future who knows its actually nearly to happen.

Smartphone is just for personal use only, you can't even think about mining on smartphone because technology is not made up for mining crypto currency.
Mining needs power and hardware that can handle the algorithms to solve complex mathematical hashes. It is not possible for smartphone at the moment but for future we can't say nothing.

[jonhn772]

Of course this will be possible. We can do Bitcoin mining with our mobile. But for that we have to wait a lot. But I know that there is a lot of problems in the mobile by mining the cryptocurrency. But still I am very excited to try.

[bonammeo]

That is the future, but if you use smartphone to exploit bitcoin is like destroying your phone. Phone is not equipped with cooling system, if it is not enough, and heat is the enemy of electronics.

[yatogami]

As we all know that smartphones are just like computer nowadays that has strong storage capacity and processor. This I think could be enable to mine bitcoin and this is what I am waiting for if there are any smartphones company that would offer their smartphones for bitcoin mining or even as a smartphone that works as digital hardware wallet for bitcoin and other crypto. I am waiting for it to happen. Do you think that it will happen?

Unlikely.
I just can't imagine a cooler that will be able to lower the temperature of such a smartphone and an accumulator that would successfully withstand such a load on processor.
Anyway, technologies are developing exponentially, so we never know what new solutions will be discovered in yet a couple of years.

[Andrej Peiboski]

This is an idea that is sometimes proposed again, but it is something that tricks only the gullible:
A cell phone may have a good computing power, but using it for mining means destroying the battery and probably the hardware, and this for just a few pennies.

[FlightyPouch]

Of course this will be possible. We can do Bitcoin mining with our mobile. But for that we have to wait a lot. But I know that there is a lot of problems in the mobile by mining the cryptocurrency. But still I am very excited to try.

The technology is leading to the online games, the bigger rams and the great microprocessors in the future of android phones or will not be because of the mining applications but because of the games, far more greater and far more massive games. As a proof that this will not happen is the banning of Google to mining applications on the google store the same on Apple.

We already have a project that miners do mine the coin on their phone, you can goggle electroneum.

[Joannafarrell]

From what I know Bitcoin mining requires a lot when it comes to the computer that does it, so if we are talking of this much power on a mobile device or a smartphone, I can say that that is too much, but then again we know our technology now are making things possible so I think if there would be a demand for that, it will happen.

[Dessy Nurvianti]

I think it's difficult for make that happen. Because if you mine with smartphone how to cooled it? if the computer has a fan and water cooling. As far i know computer have better performance then laptop. And computer must have some componets to mining. If used smartphone, How much smartphone you will needed?

It`s not difficult, it`s impossible to mine bitcoins with phones. You can`t mine bitcoins with computers too, you need miners, serious miners with huge hash power to be able to make some profit. Mining with computer cpu will just make your computer to explode. All you can do with computers and smartphones is to register on some cloud mining site, or some faucet miner, which is not highly recommended, I just say what you can do.  Today, in order to be profitable with Bitcoin mining you need to invest heavily in equipment, cooling and storage. It’s not possible to mine profitably with a PC or a GPU at home. You can calculate your profitability using a Bitcoin mining calculator, you can find it easily with simple search.  If you don`t have power and you wish to mine you need to find some coin with low difficulty and mine that coin, they are mostly very cheap but so was bitcoin in the beginning, maybe they can worth a lot one day in the future.

[jscresult2017]

I don't agree with you. Because Smartphone is no perfect for mining.

[peter_coin]

In my own opinion i feel that smartphones are already being used for bitcoin mining, there's a website which I go to download movies , and when I visit with my phone they say my extra computing power is being used for crypto mining while i surf the website.

[Cidpollendina]

I don't know when that will happen. I think it's very difficult to mine bitcoin with a smartphone. Because the mining rig alone is very difficult and takes a long time. So what if done with a smartphone. I don't think that will happen. But we don't know what technology will be present in the future.

In the future, better Smartphones will be invented and they might even have the same computing power as a decent computer GPU. On the other hand, at that time, there will be even more people involved in mining and for bitcoin mining to be profitable, you need to have a much more powerful mining rig than what's required of today. They both are moving at a pace that doesn't allow Smartphones to mine bitcoins and have decent earnings.

In my own opinion i feel that smartphones are already being used for bitcoin mining, there's a website which I go to download movies , and when I visit with my phone they say my extra computing power is being used for crypto mining while i surf the website.

Quite unsure about that since websites where you can download movies make money from Advertisements and they are as clickbait-y as they can get. They will use FUD like that just to get people's attention and you will probably redirected in a website that tells you to download a software to 'keep you safe'. Please stop believing everything that you see on the net. Do your own research if you really want to know about that stuff.

... I think if there would be a demand for that, it will happen.

And I doubt that there will be a demand for that. Who needs to mine bitcoins on a specialized phone anyway? There's no point in making your mining device portable and it will probably be extra expensive. Pretty much not feasible. It will be so expensive that people will just say that it's better to use a GPU to mine bitcoins and that they don't really need it. It will just be a waste of time and resource for the manufacturer. The only ones who will be buying this new tech are those that are going to make a review on Youtube and get paid much more than what they spent on the device. Other than that, a regular bitcoin Joe will not be buying it.

[Skyshark]

It is a fact that in order to mine bitcoin, you have to have a PC-rig or servers with the fastest processor, most RAM, and best video card there is. A hardware intensive task, if i may say. However it is possible now also to use smartphones to mine bitcoin but it will be too infuriating due to a very slow process. You will need the most recent, cutting-edge smartphone to be able to pull it off. You’ll also need standby energy supply to complete the process and the Android mining applications. But even so, you aren't going to mine a lot of bitcoins using all this.

The best thing to mine bitcoin is with personal computer with high spec, not with smartphone. Our smartphone designed for communication and i think its not suitable for mining bitcoin.
