Hashrate is very low, never profitable unless you could afford a lot of android machines for free with free electricity.

I tried mining with an app the hash rate was so low, It wasn't worth it... If you want to try for yourself download minergates app

Minergate provide apps to mining with android or ios mobile phone but you cannot get profit from mobile mining because the hardware is not design for mining.

The only reliable way of android mining was for me mining BCN through minergate app. But wouldn't do it anymore. You shorten life time of your android app with low/none profit.

Best option for mining digital currency with Android is http://GlobalBoost-Y.com $BSTY. We developed the use of Yescrypt algo in Crypto, making our blockchain GPU and ASIC resistant.
I use my little $40 Android phone to mine the Boosty, works like a charm. Here's a guide: http://emmegirls.tumblr.com/post/164753476605/miningglobalboostbstyandroidneoneonminer

Big plans for GlobalBoost® next month Wink

All The Best,

how about equihash or ether mining in android???
can anyone help me about that by giving information of any equihash or ether mining app for android???

its just a waste of time if you think that you can mining ether with your android phone because beside of increasing of the difficulty, you can not earn much of ether. its better if you buy some of vga cards then you can start for mining ether but you need to thinking about how much electricity you should pay in monthly. if your profit is bigger than your electricity fee then you are safe and you can continue to mining with the hardware. you only risk your android phone to get burned so fast if you used for mining ethereum but the choices is up to you.

A customized array of low power CPUs would beat a desktop on power efficiency. But that's not
a smartphone and Android wouldn't be the OS of choice.

A smartphone carries too much baggage (HW & SW) not related to mining and you need
many of them to match the performance of a basic desktop CPU. As I said it's only of intrerest to botnets.

I've never heard of Perk and can't find any info about it. What algo did it use?
When you can get quad core phones for $20 each or less, that was a cheap way to build up a mining cluster back in the day. Android actually doesn't have much overhead if native code is used, which the mining apps do. (Some tried mining Perk in a VM on a PC to find that if they could even get it to run, performance was very poor...)

Here's what remains of the Perk mining group:
https://www.reddit.com/r/perktv/

You'll find a few coiners trying to sell their mining setups and some who keep their (already paid for) setups still running even though it's a gamble if the mined coins would be accepted. (It costs next to nothing to power even a sizable cluster of phones.)

Cheap smartphones cannot compete with GPUs or ASICs, but they can compete with desktop CPUs when it comes to performance per watt and performance per dollar. Thus, a "smartphone coin" is just one that does not mine well on a GPU or ASIC. Perk was the big one back in the day, at least before it crashed.

Nowadays, mining with smartphones isn't really worth getting into unless you already have some old smartphones/tablets (that have next to no resale value) lying around unused. HDD coins are a better bet if you're looking for the best energy efficiency.

Just what is a smartphone coin, exactly? Do you mean a coin that can be mined on a smartphone?
There is no coin property that makes it attractive to mine on a smartphone.

Android and mining don't go together. Android is an OS designed for low power mobile devices.
It is not designed for continuous high power usage and neither are the devices than run it.

Mining on an Android device is like using a mini car to carry heavy loads, it's stupid.

Only botnets are interested in Android mining.

Smartphone coins, by their very nature, must be ASIC resistant and GPU resistant. And you need really cheap (as in less than $20) smartphones to have a chance of breaking even in a reasonable time nowadays. The time when you could mine Perk and break even in a week ended over a year ago.

There's no mining app for mobile devices and there will never be one because it will kill kill your device rapidly while earning you nothing.
The only monetary change you will incur is the loss of the amount of the amount of money you invested in your mobile device, because it will be dead.

A BIG BIG NO

Please do your research first, before asking these type of questions and let me tell you, there is a reason why people are investing in high-end GPUs and assembling their own rigs for mining rather than using compact computational devices and don't you think it's a bit tad to ask if you can mine on your Android smartphone!?

Not in this BITCOIN section, no.  Move this thread to the altcoin section (and the answer will still be no).
