Technically yes. Minergate has a miner app, however I tried it. It was draining my battery fast with only 10H/s.


i also tried that minergate app, not profitable bro youre making your phone shortlifespan....better to buy a mining rig

Why destroying a mobile phone to mine a few nickels if you are lucky?

Not even the fastest intel cpu can have a decent profit, how do you expect a mobile phone to make money for you?  Huh

As I told before, I have tried the Minergate app. My battery was draining fast, almost with 1% per 10 seconds and it was getting hot. It will damage your phone and it's not worth it.

I think its possible though the bitcoins that you'll be mining will be of little amount. It wouldnt be even worth the battery consumption or rather yet the time that you have put into it.

Maybe in 10 years phones will be more powerful and you could mine certain, specific tokens.

Right now anyone could setup a token that doesn't require hash power to be minted, so could be distributed to all users of an app.

Theorically you can do it with your smartphone but even with the most powerfull phone on this planet like samsung S8, it will not worthed because mining require high power of cpu to gain higest hashpower, to do that mining rig have to power on 24/7 and will produce heat,

miner solve that heat problem with custumize thier pc using water cooling and controlled temperature room, you can't do it with your phone. if you wanna try your phone will overheat and may blow up

but it's just my theory maybe somewhere in this planet have successfully do that and not publish it yet

It's possible if someone would make a mining client for your phone.
But it won't be any profitable, even with new 1Gb VRAM GPUs you won't make much money.

Im just wondering sorry for the inconvenience sorry if i am in the wrong section im new and curious

Mining require lots of thecnicality,using your phone is a NO, I will advice you concentrate on getting infomation here and increase your investment in btc and altcoin before thinking of mining.goodluck brother

It's possible but what you will mine is really small though. The computing power of smartphone with an android OS will never be enough. If PC's takes 24 hours to mine some what do you expect to a downside version of that? Really makes you think.

Technically you can mine with your phone, but even with the BEST hardware out there you'll be losing money as your phone will eventually crap out and you'll have to shell out $500+ again. Mining devices need to be properly configured/designed for specifically mining these days to keep up with the efficiency of other dedicated miners out there - Don't even bother looking into this, only way I could see it working even somewhat efficiently would be if you were to illegally spread some sort of malware that utilizes millions of phones all at once - Again, dont even bother. Mining rigs are FAR too efficient these days to try and compete with generic devices that were never even meant to process that sort of data on full load.

It's possible, but it is very slow and you won't earn much. I tried it once and it's not worth it. If you want to try you can download Minergate mobile miner to try. Your phone will be very hot though.

It is technically possible to mine using an Android smartphone, but it not worth it. The hardware is not powerful enough to earn something valuable, and it will reduce the life of your phone very much because of the heat and components stress.
If you really want to try it, you could install Minergate android app and see for yourself Wink

While technically not "mining" you could definitely setup a staking config on a phone, and here is a list of coins implementing PoS:

It will still require you a bit of a configuration work and it would be preferable to do it with an Android. I also believe projects like RDD are planning to release dedicated mobile wallets in the future.

It does not depend on the operating system you are running but what your hardware can deliver. Smartphone processors are very weak compared to what ASICs which can handle several hundreds or thousands of millions of hash/rehash at a second's rate.

It's possible, yes, but you will only destroy your phone in the process and selling your phone would be better.

I guess you could connect a zeus or gridseed and run bfgminer or cgminer on the android

I used to have a gridseed connected to mine but they do not deliver any recognizable results in terms of hashrate.

Honestly it's possible, but you will earn pennies in months and end up shortening the lifetime of your phone with all the heat, plus the electricity cost. Selling the phone would net more profit.

Even if it was possible i wouldnt recommend it, ive used some alt coin miners on the smart phone and its puts some strain on it.

The heat of my phone after running mining for a smal period of time was crazy :/
