[2018-07-27] Google Play Officially Bans Cryptocurrency Miners

[darkangel11]

I don't see anything negative here as you can't treat cell phone mining as something profitable. There are only 2 people that might be interested in downloading such miners.
1. Newbies who think they can profit. They will end up overheating their phones and earning pennies.
2. Hackers and malware creators who make money on other people's mistakes.

It's so ridiculous mining on a phone. This can definitely shorten the life of phones. Google has taken such steps thinking about its own users. So this decision is absolutely correct.

it is ridiculous to some,to some it is an extra little cent,standards of life are different in different countries
it is not profitable by any means and in most cases-silly to mine on your phone
but to many this could be a way to learn about cryptocurrencies
you think Google is absolutely correct,I don't think it is absolutely correct to simply ban ALL cryptocurrency related adds and aps
mind you it is not only miners we are talking about here,it is a much wider array of apps

Mining cryptocurrency on the phone is certainly funny looks and sounds. But that actually deal only with the newcomers, who only know what cryptocurrency is.
But as far as I can see, Google is not against it.

It is, some are thinking that it can sustain some of their needs for earning that extra with it but it's not worth it.
I've seen newbies that are thinking that it would be enough for them to stay on this because they didn't know anything about it.
They just tried to mine with their phone, it's like the old days where most of us are into faucets and now new generations are into phone mining.

That is so true, for me ban like this could not be even seen after short or long time, there should be no changes after that moves from google.
