AndLTC Miner! (Android LTC Miner)| NEON | PlayStore | Updated v0.7 08/07/12

[Simran]

I'm running LTCMiner now on my Galaxy SIII and am getting 61.867 hs/s

My Galaxy SIII Specs
1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Processor
2 GB Ram
32 GB internal Memory
64 GB micro sdxc card

You can get faster speeds if you use my Android Miner... 0_o
Why does everyone think that's my Android miner? Maine's in the OP.

So I just installed yours, I'm getting for thread 0 = 1.09 khash/s and for thread 1 = 1.15 khash/s

Not bad for a phone pulling in roughly 2.25 khash/s


This app is definitely faster, but I did like the fact the other client could save your profile, where as this app requires you input your data everytime.

I'll implement those features tomorrow. I just wanted to release the app to test the minerd binary I cross compiled. Please comment and rate the app highly if you liked it!

When you get the app updated, I'll go ahead and give it a whirl again. I'll gladly give you a positive rating.

I'm pulling 3.1 khash/s testing on my Nexus 7 right now.  Thats pretty sweet for an android based miner.  Well done.

Edit: As soon as i turned the tablet sideways so that the orientation changed, the miner reset.  Thats a bummer.

I'll fix that today, sir. When the orientation changes on an app, it resets, so, yeah, lol.

Is there any way you can compile minerd so that it is run from the command line on the Android system (i.e. compile as a normal Linux binary for ARM)? This would have a few advantages for some specific use cases:
- Possibility to control and monitor the miner over SSH/any other remote shell protocol
- Would run on devices with broken screen (or broken input method)
- Android-version independent (I'm not sure)?
- Better for people who love the command line

lol I thought you guys would fogire it out. lulz. After the app has downloaded the minerd binary, it's in the folder of the my app, which is data/data/com.simran.andltcminer/minerd. I suggest you running it from there, and opening the app occasionally, as my app will update the minerd binary when a new one is uploaded to my server.

Would you mind posting here a direct download link for the minerd executable?
a) Not everyone can install from the Play Store
b) Not everyone has an Android device running 2.3 or higher, required just to download minerd (and setting up an emulator is a PITA for such a simple thing)

The minerd binary only supports 2.3+, which is why I set the app to 2.3+.

I guess I'll need to cross-compile minerd myself then...

You're free to do what you want

I'm pushing ~3 khash/s testing on my Asus transformer prime Quad core right now

I love the miner for android idea but can someone please compile a version for maemo 5 (OS used on Nokia N900) as I'm unable to compile it due to the fact that I can't code otherwise I would do it,thanks. I curious to see what kind of hashpower my N900 will give me at 1.15GHz (OC'd cpu).

Would be good if you could set it to auto mine only when charging to save your battery.  Then every time you charge your phone you get some coins but doesn't slow the device down or drain the battery when your using it after it's been charged.

Just use an app like tasker or smart actions to launch the app once its plugged in and to kill the app when its unplugged.

Running it now on my American(dual core S4 2GB RAM)
Not really expecting it to do a lot, but it is a cool "just cause I can" thing. btw, I got the Pro version to support you for making something so cool.

Getting a json decode error connecting to coinotron, my desktop miners have no issues connecting to it however.

Umm.. not sure what it might be, but tomorrow I'll be releasing an update using the new CPU miner 2.2.3. It will have a regular and NEON minerd binaries.

It'll be interesting to see how the NEON version performs.

pooler & I put up a chart of Android devices we tested using cpuminer 2.2.2, 2.2.3, and 2.2.3 with NEON.
