You could just use a mobile device to be a bitcoin miner. It's just that you need the skills to assemble some mobile devices for use as a mining machine like Samsung with 40 Samsung Galaxy S5.
You can see it here https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-bitcoin- mining-rig- 810977 /

And if you have all this wouldn't be better to buy mining rig rather then mine with cell phones no matter what the model is.
In this its better to invest in mining machine not to phones only waste of money invested.

This was Samsung showing a proof of concept with recycling their old devices. They are literally paying cost and it's their old models.

I doubt that you can mine even small altcoins with smartphone, cuz mining requires dedicated graphics. Although newest iPhone X CPU is incredibly fast it doesn't have dedicated graphics as powerful as Nvidia GTX1080Ti.

I'm not suggesting you to mine ALT coins on Android. Because I've tried and proved it right away. You will only waste time and not get paid just the time and effort you have done. Even people who deliberately buy mining tools for thousands of dollars profit they get not so much. It's just my opinion and suggestion based on direct experience, it's up to you. Good luck!

for me mining in smartphone (android phone) is not profitable, because i already try it and for 5 minutes my mining work my smarthpone is getting hot and it drain the battery so much, and my phone get freeze for a while, i dont know why it happens but maybe because the hardware of our smartphone is too low for mining

Mining with mobile device is not recommended. That just makes your device broke. Use mobile device just for trade or transfer only, and to manage your asset on crypto

Altcoins mining is possible with mobile phones. I recently watched a video on YouTube where people are mining Altcoins with mobile phone using MinerGate app.

Is mining with mobile device a profitable venture today? I read a bit about this and learned that Monero maybe worth mining. then there's Electroneum as well. I wanted to know from other's experience.

One might ask why spend on buying phones. Instead get a PC. Thing is I have few old phones that I can't sell, I want to see possibility of getting some cost back before giving/throwing them away

Definitely not with bitcoins for mobile phones. But with a PC? The chances are slim, but I guess mining with a PC is good enough than mining with an ant miner. But with alt coins, I guess the chances with a mobile phone is relatively high, your chances, however, is greater with a faucet.

I don't think that it would be beneficial to even mine a Monero using a mobile device because that might even end really up to a year to mine one. If you can have a PC to mine for that then that would be good because it's worth than you just mine it on mobile because if that happens maybe your mobile would end up worse or being damaged. Just keep in mind also that if you are into mining plan ahead to pay electric bills that much.

I think more you use PC or other hardware that is adequate to mine, so you can freely and not vulnerable to damage to hardware that you use. Many tools that can be used to mine one of them is a PC with sufficient capacity to mine.

You can use the Electroneum app to mine Electroneum and then sell it and buy BTC instead. The app does not use much power on the phone. Its more a kind of POS (prove of stake) than POW (prove or work).

Ive tried mining with my mobile device and its not working. I think it is only a waste of time and may cause my mobile to broke. Ive watched many videos about mining and they spend a lot of money to buy some expensive computer parts for their mining and earn only a small amount of bitcoin.

For me, I don't think it's a good idea, since mobile doesn't have fans or some cooler to make it able to mine for a long time. Also most of mining aren't bitcoin but only altcoins. It may also even cost you a lot if ever your mobile get destroy.

I tried to mine with my cellphone, just for fun, I wanted to see its hash rate, it wasnt that bad
But after a few minutes it started to get really hot... And just to get a few satoshis, I wouldnt recommend it

That is why technology built a hardware which can be used in mining. Because they knew mobile devices may end up breaking itself if it resist the pressure that mining can give to that certain phone. So we should don't recommend mining using our mobile phones because we knew what will happened. Breaking a mobile phone for satoshi is nonsense!

It's hard to mine using mobile phone rven it is easiy to handle with only one hand, but it can't handle mining more bitcoin in a day. And it is harmful from virus it can easily adopt it, and I really suggest computers.

It is not worth it to mine with mobile phone or tablet. The performance is much lower than high end desktop graphics cards, perhaps hundreds of times lower, not to mention the Bitcoin ASIC miners. You may not get any share with your mobile phone. Now the only way to profit in bitcoin mining is Bitcoin ASIC miner.

All Mobile is not support mining but if you use high quality mobile device then you can use it for mining . Mining is a three system but mobile and pc use only cpu mining so just open one tab and start mining with your device.
