I have only low end cpu on my PC. Do you guys think is worth trying to mine with? And is there any chance to try mining with android phone, without turn phone hot?
Like I said, it's not worth the effort, electricity and time.
You could shorten its lifetime even more by mining. Give your low-end PC a favor and use it for something else or sell it if you really need the money.
And your
Android phone, news about mining using your phone was a thing last 2017 because of the famous Electroneum miner that was advertised on their ICO, but it isn't actually mining (
just like a gimmick to follow their promised roadmap).
You can try it though, it pays you ETN for keeping your data and the app open in the background (
seach google for the coin name and their official site).
Note: this wont "
turn your phone hot" since it doesn't actually mine,
data connection will increase the temp though.
Also around 2017, coinhive was famous for it's API that can mine using the browser and website owners can integrate it to their site so that users who visit will "
pay with hashes".
Technically, it's equal to pool mining and most faucets use it as a "
micro-mining" feature, that way users can mine using their mobile phones to earn a few Satoshis (
Decimals of Bitcoins) equivalent to their hashes.
The only faucet/micro-wallet site I know that still implements this is
Coinpot.co but it doesn't pay with BTC just their token but you can convert it in the same website.
T/N: Any of these options won't produce any reasonable profit and just a waste of time.
