I think that 90% of people still don't get that the mobile app they are creating can NOT actually mine blocks. It's just a simulation that shows an average mining rate that would be possible on your phone. By leaving the app open you are rewarded with some coins so it looks like actual mining which it isn't. It's a way to trick people into thinking that they are actually mining. But this was explained in the whitepaper (that most people haven't read). Intensive mining on a mobile phone is useless because it will drain your battery real quick, that's why mining rigs exist like PC's, servers, ASICS. Still, this project will be a success because so many people get in on it.
My question is how can this work out if there's very little proof of work actually going on? If the mobile devices are just going to receive an airdrop based on theoretical hashpower, then what's the point of all this? Is the point free money for the sake of free money? What kind of work is being done to secure the network and REWARD based on the work?
Ok mobile will never work on any platform , mobile phones just at this point in time dont have the battery power or processing power , mining will kill your mobile, so they have created a app to simulate mining, uses very little power , can run in the background , this is to help new people to cryptos understand the process ok , knowledge is power so giving people knowledge and understanding will empower them and in turn help the crypto community as a whole.
There will be mining on PC's and so forth , the same way you , I and anyone else mine cryptonotes such as xmr,xdn or any other crypto note , this will be real mining , this will secure the system , so it is a 2 fold approach , one is for helping people learn , once they understand and feel confident then they would move to the next stage , in my belief.
As cryptos can be very confising to new people to it..
I have heard gaming, app games and a few other things but from my understanding this will be detailed in more depth come the 1st novemeber , they want to get this running first and move to the next stage which is a good thing , as they say too many pots on the first to hard to keep it all balanced!!
