Turning old smartphones into miners ?

[babos8383]

I have a solution for you and that's electroneum coin,you can mine on your phone using its cloud based miner

You can mine on multiple phone too and so far so good

That's one of the fake miners i was talking about... "Cloud based mining on your phone" = "receiving coins for running a non-mining app".

People should really stop referring to those apps as mining software since it confuses newbies...

Whether you like it or not cloud mining is the only mining solution for mobile phones unless we have a POD(Proof of Data) algorithm in the future then it might work on phones

Cloud mining I do not argue, it is good. But what about phones with small useless processors that even a dollar a month is not working?!

The slow processor will not work for the accuracy mining, as you can see even though we are using the efficient hardware for the ETN mining we are not  getting coins, so we should always choose high-speed mobile phones, otherwise, we will not make even 1$ for the month.

Actually, you should take a look at our project called Torque https://torque.cash, we're currently rebranding and the mobile miner is coming with real mobile mining. The pow also changed to a CPU friendly algo to make it more profitable for smartphones and other devices which run android (like a car.... it works)

What do you mean by "like a car... it works"? Congrats on your project, but a little explanation might come in handy, especially for those of us that won't just click any link posted on this forum.
The only way i can imagine this working is if your project is completely closed source using a propriatary hashing algo as POW algo, and if you only release closed source mining software for android mining on a closed source pool with closed source binary nodes and closed source wallets. In this case, your plan would work, but you'd force people to actually harm their phones while mining...

If you open source the mining software or the node software, what would prevent anyone from mining with a "decent" (non-mobile) cpu which would be superior to any mobile cpu both in actual hashrate as in hashes generated per Joule. As soon as people start using desktop or server cpu's, the difficulty would skyrocket and everybody burning their phones while mining would see their income plummet.

Mining on GPUs is already pretty much unprofitable. Mining on a cell phone is just pointless mate. These things can also run really hot really fast. Sure, you could place a fan in front of your cell phone(s) to cool them, but that's like 40W of electricity you will spend cooling those devices that will barely bring in a cent.

Here's a better idea: cell that cell phone or those cell phones you have and buy BTC or ETH with the cash you get. You'll thank me later.

You would destroy your phone, you are better of selling these phones on ebay or something. At least you will get some worth and less headache to deal with.

Like many others, there was mining on a smartphone, but the money earned from it was penny.
But over time, there were problems with the processor, which resulted in a fast discharge of the battery.
The only thing I can offer is to listen to the radio: bitrad.io and get a small income.

Guys, we know most of coins that allows users to "mining" with smartphone, don't do the real mining, it's only an app to calculate the power of your smartphone, and you earn coin based on that

But don't you think these apps can stole some data from you?
I'm afraid and will not use any app of this kind

This app does not mine something at all. It is just an airdrop.

Im using M2G Android Miner to mine Monero. But you need a lot of cellphones to achieve pc-like results.
Eg my S6 gets about 15 h/s, but my S9 gets 40+ h/s.

So it will take you 350 phones to equal one of my procs on xmr.
i have 37 of them on it so about 13,000 phones is what you will need.
This will earn you about $50 a day BEFORE power.

Good luck...i dont think you understand scale and scope of what you ask.

This is celeron mining all over again ehhe, trolls used 60 watts of power per hour, total of 24 x 60 = almost 1.5kwh, that is $0.15 in the USA to mine $0.01 of value hehe

64-bit ARMv8 CPUs in phones are really promising and energy-efficient when mining some coins.

wow thats neat! smartphones do indeed have alot more power nowadays people are already working on ways to replace gaming consoles for decent games with em... Your thread is closed though... do you have any open threads where users are talking about it? Im quite keen i should have afew hundred phones lying around using android lol
