No, you can't mine bitcoin with an android phone and if there is some software out there to mine bitcoin with android I am sure it's not profitable and it may risk your phone life due to high temp. while mining.

Don't fall for any scammy apps out there claiming it could mine a certain sats for just tapping an ads or opening them

Mining BTC is not for phones..

Youre just wasting time, energy, and worst could steal your phones information

By stories, I bet you've heard of "Browser-based mining" and "Mobile miners",
but any of these aren't really "mining" per definition.

If you're too enthusiastic to try it, here's some info:

• You can actually earn a few satoshi (uBTC) by visiting faucets that offer "Mining" using your browser (though, almost all known faucets removed this feature).
  
• Or try one of the most famous "mobile mining" gimmick ever created to earn a few centavo-value ETN (Electroneum);
  I don't want to link to avoid advertisement, just google search the keywords (I bet that this is the one that you've heard over the internet).

You sure can mine BTC or any nearly any other alt with your phone, but the problem is it's just not going to be profitable at all. All phones have terrible heat dissipation due to a lack of active cooling, and you're not doing your phone a favor by mining on it. If you're trying to mine alts, though, your PC is likely going to perform better than a phone at mining, though you'll have to take into account what hardware you have and your electrical rates to determine whether or not you're profitable or not.


If you have a laptop, do not mine with that either. Laptops are also generally crap with heat dissipation, not worth your time.

Don't do it if you don't want to see your android phone can damage. Your phone will be getting hot, and even it can blow in any second. We don't suggest mining on an android phone, and it's not worth it. Maybe you can try to mining using your computer but not using your laptop because it's the same as you used the phone.

But right now, you cannot get much reward from the mining if you don't have big power to mining.

I think you have false information. You cannot mine Bitcoin using your mobile phone. More powerful equipment is required for mining.

There's no way you could mine bitcoin over your android phone, do not believe on some scammer who says it's possible to mine bitcoin on your android. Even the famous ETN mobile mining isn't actually a mining.

I once upon a time by the way tried mining on Android. For the experiment. MTK processor 8 cores, the speed is negligible, but heated so that you can burn. It's completely pointless.
But POS can be mined on the phone for some coins that have a full wallet for the phone, but you need to download the blockchain. There was such a coin TX, there was such an opportunity.

This topic should be under Bitcoin > Mining this is altcoin mining session

if I had merit I'd definitely send this post some.

maybe in the future we'll have some chance of seeing phones preparred for "micro-mining" or no way it's gonna happen?

Definitely not for bitcoin mining but maybe for altcoins, if I'mnot wrong XTL had a project like that.

regarding OP question:
Please, just don't do it.
better to buy some bitcoin or invest in a couple of Rigs.

The stories you read are probably cloud mining which tells that we can mine bitcoin or it is a faucet type but that has a difference on mining btc. You need to have tool such as GPU and a power energy source to do this which I think phones can't probably cant supply unless someone integrate it on the mobile but that would be useless.

I heard this project Taucoin which is planning to build a mobile app mining and I guess they have potential to pulled it off using a different consensus protocol. But for btc not possible or never will using POW.

MTK is much hotter processors than Snapdragon so it is not surprising.


It is a pity that the mining on the phone does not make sense, and then at least use it could be that he worked out the funds invested in it

Most people would agree that mobile mining is not worth it. When factoring in high energy costs potential data fees and low computing power, mobile mining is a very difficult inefficient way to earn cryptocurrency.

While we will likely see some advancements in mobile/tablet computing power and functionality of mobile mining apps, it still appears that mobile mining will be no match for traditional mining for the foreseeable future.

I doubt if there are even 'legit' mining apps available for mobile devices, using it and damaging device is later thing.

You can mine bitcoin using your smartphone but i think it would consume you so much time to earn at least 0.0001BTC but there's a project here in the forum that is a new type of mining where in you can mine through your mobile phone and not using any GPUs or any other mining equipment.

You can read this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5120083.0 and study it... I haven't tried it yet but it seems that it's legit

[traderethereum]

I don't know either, but I only could suggest him not to use his mobile devices to mining. He can try to use apps for mining electroneum, but I don't know how much he will get because I never tried before. I care for my mobile, and I don't want to see my mobile is damage.

[swogerino]

No Android device is good for mining, not even the latest S10+ mobile from Samsung and the reason is simple , no mobile device is designed to handle a lot of heat which is generated from the mining process.

Mining will only kill your device in a very short amount of time for pennies.

i see many app for android - but they take very smoll profit and your phone have very big temperature
and I met an app that tried to steal my data.

Which mining app allows you to mine btc? Afaik, there isn't any. Even those high rate miners are no longer sufficient, what do you expect from mobile devices.
