Thank you for this information, I did not know before how to flag an app before, the link is very useful, but I have only just glanced through it, but I will make use of it even for other apps that are fake and waste of time. I have no experience about the pro version, I did not use it because it demanded for money when I wanted to download it, but we all know how bitcoin mining is not profitable on phone, we can even say that bitcoin mining is no more possible on phone. When I used the lite version in 2019, bitcoin mining difficulty has not been increased up to this point, bitcoin price during that time was $7000 to $8000. I even thought the app is using 1 satoshi for the mining progress, thinking I was gaining, it was later I know the number counting was 1/ 1000 or 1/ 100 of a satoshi (I have forgotten the exact mining amount, but it is either of the two). It can makes phone to be hot, though you can reduce the mining power, but the highest mining power is not profitable. What I later know about the app is that it uses referral to also reward people, but the actual mining is a total shit.

I'm wondering why Google still doesn't ban Pi Network if the Pi network claims to be a legit mobile phone mining app because from what I remembered about Google play store, mining apps aren't allowed on the store. Even though there have been numerous debunkings of this application, many people are still duped by it. People are stubborn and prideful, and they refuse to accept the fact that it isn't a legitimate mining app if we use the fundamentals of crypto mining as a basis to check this Pi Network.

More than hundreds of Bitcoin mining applications are currently available on Google, various models, names and methods, 8 names of Bitcoin mining applications are banned, I don't think it matters for those who do Bitcoin mining, there are hundreds of others that can still be used.
The possibility that it is prohibited is a dangerous scam for miners and google.

Is the war going on? When will Google stop hating crypto?
I think Google does not hate crypto but they delete an app containing malware, suspicious content or even a virus inside the app. Those apps are about cloud mining which does not give you profit at all. Google will have its rule on how they will ban the apps and this time, Google is doing the right thing to ban those apps so their user will not get the worst experience while using those apps. Hopefully, Google will be aware of the other apps that look suspicious and will investigate to find out more about the app so when they see something wrong from the app, they can directly ban and delete the apps from their list.

I'm actually glad to see this happening. I've seen way too many issues with web providers and social media outlets that allow way too many scammy things to be going on in their platforms. YouTube, who of course is owned by Google, has a ridiculous amount of scams being promoted via ads that they are essentially doing nothing about. I hope that this is the first/right step towards better security in that regard.

Based on this news, the removal of these apps has since been reported. This means that Google's actions to remove malicious applications are not based on independent research, only rely on reports from application users. The Pi Network still has a lot of staunch fanatics, maybe on the one hand they are defending the Pi project so Google is still considering removing it. After all, Goolge play is still at its weakest in handling malicious apps.

They were either reported or Google was unhappy because they did not receive a percentage of the in-app purchases. If Google would get their 30%... all good !

Damn, all of them are indeed scam. It is a good action from google and it will protect users from falling into these kind of traps. Those businesses need to be verified carefully because 99% are pure scam so that I suggest you should not involve in. Why dont you stake your coins in some reliable defi project. They are much more profitable and safer.
But this is precisely the issue with all of this, Google is doing the best they can in order to get rid of any malicious application that could be uploaded to their store but this is never going to be enough, people need to learn to recognize when something doesn't look good on their own, that way you gain a way to protect yourself without the need of a third party and even more importantly you do not give those scammers any possibility of getting to your coins at any point in time.

I think Google has been very slow in processing fraudulent applications like this... Bitcoin mining applications and other Ponzi schemes that take advantage of the popularity of bitcoin are still widely circulated on the Play store and Apple Store. I think this must be resolved quickly so as not to swallow more victims.

It is well know for the people who have been in the crypto business for some time now that cloud mining are just a scam and a pyramid scheme, bitcoin and crypto are a market where the scam business is spread especially since the popularity of this industry is raising at a high rate, and that is one of the reason google took actions to ban crypto ads and now they lifted the ban and it is good to see them taking serious moves to combat the crypto scam without influencing the legit ones

I surely agree with you Actually its really hard to determine basing up on numbers of apps that do really get listed on the app store and not only just focusing on crypto based app but other apps as well. Although its just hard to think that for a big company or known one wont really be making out some issues but for sure they do already keep an eye on it. For now it would be always talking about users own research and common sense.You wont really be finding this to be a big problem if you do just know on how to spot out a scam.

Try StormGain. They are an exchange but the app has a free cloud miner. Profits from trading using the withdrawn faucet funds only

Google Play store bans 8 crypto mining application which describe below ..
BitFunds - Crypto Cloud Mining
Bitcoin Miner - Cloud Mining
Bitcoin (BTC) - Pool Mining Cloud Wallet
Crypto Holic - Bitcoin Cloud Mining
Daily Bitcoin Rewards - Cloud Based Mining System
Bitcoin 2021
MineBit Pro - Crypto Cloud Mining & btc miner
Ethereum (ETH) - Pool Mining Cloud
Please don't use this apps any more...
it is better that they only banned some mining application in which we already knew that most are scams and BS waste of time. And also they act better recently Unlocking the advertising for Bitcoin and that means one thing , they are acting the right way towards crypto and their platform,

There are many other types of mining that deceive money. Hope that it can be rectified in a unified way. Don't believe this kind of mining. But taking a ban is a good thing.

As a company that very popular and legal Google should do this. Actually google should prevent other similar new apps, banning the app will not stop the people behind it, I am sure that they will create new one. In my point of view this is a part of professionalism, google should protect their customers. Not just something that related to money but also data and device. I hope google also bann some app that offers money lending illegally, my cousin ever fall into that trap and must pay high interest. If it's related to money google should extra strict. There are also so many good cryptocurrency related app such as wallet that provide stacking option and etc, now I have some mobile wallet app in my smartphone.

But with so many crypto mining apps that are scams, it makes me hopeless to believe that there are legit crypto mining apps. So it's been a long time since I chose to avoid using crypto mining apps, I prefer to make money by staking or trading.

Good riddance I'd say.
There are simply too many illegitimate crypto apps that are ruining the reputation of crypto in general. I think that it is far better to have some sort of content moderation there than none at all.
As long as there is no active censorship without reason I think that there shouldn't be any issues.

Both google and apple's app store, are a centralized store. They argue that this is to protect the user from malware, but in reality, it's only to maximise their profit.
A free appstore wouldn't let malware live for very long if based solely on reviews. 1 single negative review would almost for sure prevent anyone from downloading that app.
