It is impossible to mine with smartphone. Actually it is also difficult to mine through ordinary PC too.

If mining with a pencil and paper (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dqhixzGVo) is possible, I'm sure a smartphone can mine. But I can guarantee you it won't be effective. You're just going to waste power and life of your phone.

Wow nice video !!!


Ts you can't make profitable mining even with a good pc .

Better chance than with a pencil Tongue Also, with a botnet of phones maybe someone could reach a few GH/s

if you tried to mining a coin with smartphone
it won't be called "mining with smartphone"
it will called "burning your smartphone"

If people are willing to spend upwards of $1000 on an ASIC miner just to join a pool and get a steady stream of $10+ rewards I think the best mining you could do with the processing power of a smartphone is to drop it in the dirt and accidentally dig out a pound coin.  Smiley

Now old PC is not suitable for mining. So how can you think about mining with Smartphone. I think is it a waste of

a waste of... what? Time? Money? Power?

Unless you have an ASIC there is no point in mining now IMO

If you have an early generation of ASIC, the power efficiency won't be good and you will be wasting money running the miner.

You will never get anything for it. Not nearly enough hashing power. Don't bother

Possible, but not really for Bitcoin. With new phones (quad core etc.) you can try some CPUcoins for fun, but don't expect high return when people are using specialized equipment everywhere. Drains battery like hell (not good), stresses CPU, heats up the phone. Leave it.

Watch out with the paid apps, I'm guessing you will never mine as much as they cost  Grin

Phones aren't designed to undergo these kind of stress. They are more for low performance and power task.High end CPU uses around 100-200 watts while high end phones use much lesser than that. Even with quad core, don't expect to earn a cent when mining for a day non stop. AFAIK, there isn't suitable apps to mine algorithm other than scrypt and SHA256. You have to build them yourself.

Can we get this thread locked? OP's question has been answered comprehensively, and the points just keep repeating again and again...

Mining with smartphone even if technically possible would be morally wrong. If you are a masochist or a hipster you may want to do this tho.

there has been an iOS app for mining around for quite some time now. IIRC in the description at the app store it reads something like this "does it work? Yes! Will you make lots of money? No."

more of a novelty than anything.
