I saw that, I even tried to compile kernel for android - rk3066, but it still be times slower than average GPU (mine now HD7850@1120MHz - 228Mhash/s) and orders of magnitude slower than ASIC rigs - (butterfly labs etc. - but no experience here).
Topic: BitCoin miner for Android? (Read 29642 times)
I know everyone says its not worth it on your phone but what about these android PCs they sell now? Still not worth it?

I tried the LTC miner but my Mesmerize was too slow to even get a share before the next block came out and it had to start over again.
Maybe only with the OpenCL capable ones...
Interesting, but still too slow to bother mining on phone 
I thought about mining on my laptop when I'm in a hotel and decided that it's not worth it. Still way to slow.
I just tried LTCMiner (CGDROID requires 4.0.3+) on my 600 MHz phone and got, on average, *5* hashes per second 
You'd definitely have to be REALLY LUCKY if you ever mine any coins on a phone. 
Scary... but heck, I'd make my phone help out if I find a good app! CGDROID looks totally cool.
I don't think it would be worth it because even if your phone is on the charger it might drastically affect it's battery life.
(Not sure - Does the battery form part of the circuit at all when the charger is plugged in, or is it completely bypassed?)

Once the battery is charged, it just stops charging and any power usage will come from the battery. It'll recharge again after it drops a bit. Somewhere a graph where someone showed the power usage of his charger over time. Once it was fully charged, the charger stopped using power for like 30 minutes, then came back on for a minute to top the battery off again.
My android phones run fine when theyre plugged without a battery in at all. So it doesnt make sense that theyed use battery while plugged in.
There are Android devices with OpenCL support right now...
Interesting concept... then again it usually always was easier to buy low sell high than it was to work for the currency itself : P
I can't get cgdroid to connect to btcguild server. I get the invalid username and password data error.
I'm sure this has been stated before, but you're killing the phone and the battery quickly when you mine on it...
cgdroid says it requires root access. I'll give it a shot if I end up rooting my phone (which I might end up doing if my carrier doesnt update my HTC one x to jellybean soon.)
Not wanna hijack this thread,
but does anybody know the hashrates for whatever crypto-currency of the Raspberries or the AllWinner A10 board?
Wanna know it since a few days but can´t really find something...
THX!

Doesn't BFL have an android miner now?
Looks good!
maybe I'm gonna try it.
