Just a sidenote, i tried mining for 1 hour at my galaxy s2.
All i got was my cellphone working near 70º celsius and the fear of loosing a smartphone for nothing.
There's few faucets that is worth to use it like a hour per day .
But to be honest if you want to enter in this world you have to invest a little at least.

What if the alto is very simple, talking about alt coins? Will a smartphone be able to mine alt coins if the difficulty is very low always and the algorithm is very simple? I am not a specialist, I'm just asking
Remember that you are competing against other miners for the mining revenue. If you are mining on a smartphone and other miners are mining with ASICs, you won't earn much.
As for burning out your phone: the processing power spent mining depends on the mining software and not on the difficulty. You can make the mining software limit itself so that it doesn't heat up the phone. Unfortunately, that will also reduce the amount you mine (unless you are the only miner).

You'd fry your phone if you tried to.
no. it is not possible to mining with smartphone, because the mining need high spesification in laptop or PC
Mining on a PC or Laptop is still toxic. Unless your talking about a Altcoin. You can't use a graphics card for Bitcoin anymore; It isn't 2012.
Unless you have a few TH/s your return would be so small it would go lower than Cex's.

It is also easy to overheat your laptop with mining, and so you shouldn't do it at all.
Mining asic resistant coins with GPU in a PC is okay, but you will need to have cheap electricity to have profit.
Makes no sense to try and mine btc nowadays, even with a huge mining rig you would be struggling to make any profit.
So mining is no bueno? But when i look at blockchain.info i see hella transactions. Whats the most convenient way of aquiring bitcoins without mining or faucets?
Buying.Buying is truly the easiest and often the most profitable decision to make. Just buy and then stick your coins in cold storage. You'll end up with a larger amount of bitcoins for your money spent than most people, trust me.

Pretty sure this wouldn't work out well like you expect it to

Don't mine with a smartphone or a laptop. And at this point, I would not recommend a GPU rig either. In fact, I wouldn't recommend getting into ASICs even, unless you have a reliable chip supplier that will work cheap and fast...
I tried an apk on my Flex and it was giving me 4mH/s
4MH/s? With that 4 MH/s, you can get about 10 satoshi for 24 hours lol.
Just forget it, it won't work.
i have no idea with this,
mining with a smarthphone, lol
it will burn you smarthphone, You will not get the profit, even damage your smarthphone.
Wasn't there an app to mine LTC a couple of years ago?
There are a few apps which can mine Scrypt and SHA256. They aren't very efficient and I never get to submit a single share while my Phone overheated. Even with the best phone, you cannot surpass the hashrate of a normal desktop computer in terms of temperature and hashrates.No shit - I mine... started mining well over a year ago. Was simply asking a question

You can mine with a smartphone, but you can never profit from it or even earn a amount which you could probably use in a trade so no its not even something to think about you can't do it.
I think someone had written a javascript miner. If that's the case a modern phone should be able to run that miner. Of course you can't earn anything form this sort of mining...
It wouldn't be hard to port a Java miner to Android either. But again, no reason to mine using such a device. You'll NEVER generate a single block in your lifetime I bet...

The good thing about mining with smartphone is you can just mine it while you are in class, dorm anywhere you at... Just if ASIC is not that bulky...
It emits too much heat. If you are thinking about bringing it around, get rid of the heat issue first then power issue. Why don't you just set up ASIC at your own house? You don't have to move it around and you also don't have to pay for mobile services for mining. It would be troublesome to bring such an inefficient ASIC around, I doubt it can even submit a single share.

i think it's possible to mine using a smartphone, because a smartphone has a lot of applications which are developer by programming developer. i.e : android, ios (apple) or blackberry ...
. You obviously have no idea.Ha
Well, he's right in a way. Since there are a ton of applications for the various operating systems and platforms, there most likely are some mining softwares available. yet, people fail to see that a smartphone is hopelessly underpowered to actually achieve any profit. We're talking about a factor of 10'000x here...Maybe the people looks at the octacore or quadcore cpu of the latest smartphones and thinks that they could have a great computing power usable for bitcoin mining.
Ha, yeah... I mean they could've a 256-core and yet it wouldn't be profitable. There's a reason why the CPU power gets spread across cores. And the reason isn't because it's faster or you could put the power in a single core (well, to a bit, it actually is). People have a completely flawed understanding of what processing power actually is and how it scales.
