1st hand experience trying. I installed minergate on my S7 phone and was mining monero. Was thinking of installing this on my entire family's phones but after a week i noticed my phone was getting slower and battery life was shorter. I was making less than a dollar a day. Not worth it. You will lose your phone and end up with less money.

You should try playing game instead:

Would it be possible to mine CPU coins on phones nowadays? They have many cores and are getting more and more powerful.

No

But you can play games

i would not recommended for mining on a cell phone because your cell phone will become so hot and maybe gets hang soon and finally the cell phone will be damage. better use your computer with graphic card rather than cell phone.

So I recently purchased a smart phone. Should I be tapping into it's single core processor to get some more coins? I'm sure it's not very cost effective, but just out of curiousity, has anyone tried this?

Is there anyone who has used a cell phone to mine one of the cpu mining chains?

I believe that minergate has its own app where you can mine using your mobile phone. You can download it via Google Play Store given that your phone is Android running operated system.

to be able to mine using mobile phone the coin must be like getting upload reward in private torrent sites other than that if you start mining it will burn you mobile and that will be the reward

I wouldn't recommend mining coins on your laptop or cell phone unless you don't mind them getting burnt at the end of the day. But mining BRUST and folding@home on laptop is alright. I have been mining for sometime and it is going without any problems. Recently, a friend of mine suggested me to fold@home for PEPECASH. PEPECASH has been appreciating for a while. I took got 5000 PEPECASH as a giveaway 3 weeks ago worth $0.48 and now it is 2$.

Your phone will get burnt and draw lots of power off the battery and damage it but with a laptop it won't so long as you habe enough cooling you are just fine.
Is pepecash better then burst ?

BURSTcoin will have an app to mine you can use on your phone very soon. Check out their site:

http://web.burst-team.us

In general it is a different type of where you use hard space on your HDD to mine. Very green/eco friendly/low power consumption. It may take some time to plot space on your hard drive but after that you can mine using very little resources...should be the same with a smart phone.

Price of Burst has also been going up substantially the last few months.

Single core processor? What is it? A Google G1? Grin

Some advice. Do not do any mining on a phone, tablet or laptop. They always cut corners on thermal dissipation (they usually have to for size constraints and often to cut $ costs). They just will not survive sustained 100% CPU or GPU activity for any reasonable length of time. The only exception would be maybe an old phone (not single core) - you could use 1 of the cores to keep a blockchain alive that you are rescuing from abandonment or a new one that isn't mined in the wild yet.

What the fuck about that, if you're wanna trying for blaming the cell phone of the op(already retire from here) you should gonna be seeing about the date of the post are made by him. the single processor phone already be a best phone in their golden centuries. Angry

Im thinking the same thing too on which these mining on mobile phone would be possible though but its not worth it because your mobile phone would be worn up or even blown up and you already mined a very small amount which is really bad and we should not think regarding on doing this thing though,

I've tried it on my android phone before. but I think you are correct here. Not wort it,and besides when your phone got damage you got more problems. Using phone,you got only minimal satoshis better to join signature campaign IMHO.

If you don’t believe, why are you here?

Man, if only every cell phone in the world was mining 1MHs of sha256 completely transparent to the user...we'd have something ridiculous...

There are almost as many cell-phone subscriptions (6.8 billion) as there are people on this earth (seven billion)—and it took a little more than 20 years for that to happen. In 2013, there were some 96 cell-phone service subscriptions for every 100 people in the world.Feb 25, 2014

well, i'm pretty sure it is possible (but it wont be easy).
the main question should be: Does it worth? you will be screwing up your phone for what? 0.01$/month?

Even the best phones don't have extremely good heat dissipation, even those that claim to have some sort of heatpipes and liquid cooling- for the most part, phones are made to much lower quality standards than computers, even with their chips. I've mined for a good 2 months straight on my phone and nothing terrible has happened yet, so if you'd like to, you're welcome to take the risk. I personally think it's pretty interesting, but if you actually use your phone for a good purpose and store data on it, don't. Don't risk your data.

good to hear that you used to mine using you phone and i would like to know which phone you are using to mine and how would you manage the heating issues and final thing i want to know is which coin have you mined and how much profit have you earned with it.

A Galaxy Grand Prime. I mined Dogecoin for the most part, and it's gotten me around 20 for the time I used it; I ran on one thread and it mined shares pretty slowly. Not much happened with such low power and core usage, but I still don't recommend doing it if you have precious data held on the phone or if it's expensive. My phone was practically free.

Yep, I live in a hot climate and I keep my laptop's (li-ion) battery in the fridge most of the time.

keeping the battery in fridge is a very good idea Grin

so hows it working now ,try keeping the laptop too to avoid over heating Cheesy

is it really possible to mine coins with the use of a cell phone or is it just a joke. even when i tried to mine using my laptop it is becoming red hot and usually shuts down automatically after a couple of hours and how is it possible to mine with a mobile Huh

That's the same observation that i posed some posts before...
For me isn't reasonable to do mining with a cell phone, because system resources needed are too much for a phone.
As we already know, laptop haven't enough computational power to find blocks, it's a silly idea think that a cell phone can do
The only result you can get is that you will end with burn the phone just for mining less satoshis than a bad faucet.
I think didn't worth the risk Wink
