There is not a single tablet or currently an ARM device that is suitable for mining and all it will do is decrease the life of your device. Buy an asic if you want to mine easily.

As previously said, you will burn out the tablet or any other device far quicker than you will even earn enough to withdraw from most pool sites.  So in the end, you would have a broken tablet and wouldn't even be able to withdraw anything.

If you have the money for a tablet, you have the money to buy an S3 or S5 from Bitmain.  Go that route and you will be a lot more pleased with the end result.

Thanks for your replies. I had the feeling that my devices would burn up in the intent of mining. If you hadn't warned me, my devices would be fried up today. I'm going to save money to buy an Antminer S3. I think I will get ROI now that I get electricity for free.  Wink

I've looked into the Play Store and found a mining app. So far it's been working for me on my Samsung Galaxy Lite but I don't know if this mining app will be efficient in my Shield Tablet. I think I would be able to mine more coins with it now that its a pretty cool tablet with excellent specs good for gaming.

Would you give me any recommendations for mining on this tablet? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.  Wink


Please dont use any mobile phone, tablet or laptop to mine any coins!
Use an gpu or an miner but not such devices, they will die and you will only pay the electricy and dont get any earning, or buy the coins!

Best regards
