Is it possible to mine using a smartphone? Ive seen some mining apps and curious if anyone has actually tried it

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.

Normal desktop computer performs far better and they consume a lot of power and emit a lot of heat. Smartphones are designed to be used with less power while emit less heat and not require cooling. Therefore, smart phone processors cannot be compared to normal desktop processors.

If you want to melt your phone to make 0.0001 cents then go for it Cheesy

Mining with a five high end GPU's is useless. Why do you think a smartphone would be any better?

I think he thinks that he can get good hash rate with it and he can consume electricity costs.

I think it's impossible. I wonder how hot my phone if it possible to mining with smartphone. And sure the hash power is quite low if it possible using smartphone for mining.

With 2 Nexus 7, you can get ~4.7 GHs with easy miner. I heard that notion ink adam works with easy miner.

really? Can you provide proof? I think, It's really impossible Undecided

Sorry was a mis reading. Lips sealed

Now old PC is not suitable for mining. So how can you think about mining with Smartphone. I think is it a waste of time.

It's impossible to mine with a smartphone, I didn't tried because I fear the keyloggers or wallet stealers but their cpu power is negligible.

Save the heartache and just sell the phones for an actual miner lol..

Its the most logical decision.

I cannot even fathom why someone would even attempt to create a bitcoin mining program for a phone. Next they'll be apps for Smart Tvs, then again you'd probably do better with one of them with some of these processers they've got in now a days lol.

Latest smartphone can be using for mining but only 1 or 2 kh/s. This is too low I know but what about 100.000 smartphone. Especially If you are using Android phone be careful while you are downloading free games or application. Don't forget, "If product is free, now you're product"

Say if you have access to 100,000 phones, and each can hash at 1 KH/s, you will have a total of 100MH/s (while a dated Block Erupter USB can give you 330 MH/s).

So, nope, it is completely useless in the sense of mining.

Even so, anyone with senses should be aware their hardware is heating up very fast and would suspect of a virus infection. I doubt any modern smart phone would mine at that slow speed, they usually get around 500++kH/s.

Mining is not feasible on a single smartphone now, maybe as a bot net of 100.000 phones - but I think bitcoin has reached the complexity where it's not feasible anymore with this kind of hardware. You need heavy machinery

How about an old Commodore 64 if I plug a 56kbps modem in?

Anyone got bitcoin core on cassette tape?

How long before I can mine 1 BTC?

It's not a Commodore 64 but someone did manage to find a way to mine with a NES from 1985:

http://www.retrominer.com/

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a hash rate figure. Modern smartphones are MUCH more powerful than anything from the 80's though. Seeing as though someone mined hundreds of bitcoins back in 2009 with a Pentium 4, it probably would have been profitable with today's prices to mine with a phone back then too.

mining on smartphones its done but not profitable

I think mining on a smartphone is possible but it definitely isn't profitable. I believe there was a news story a while back about Bitcoin-mining malware infecting smartphones. Even back then, it made no sense and so nobody could understand why anybody would even attempt such a thing.

Do a search for "smartphone mining malware" if you don't believe me. You'd be surprised.

Perhaps you meant 4.7MH/s. A Core i7-4770K overclocked won't even give more than 1GH/s and I doubt the Tegra could beat a I7 even in compute.

BTW 4.7GH/s a day makes about 1 penny - totally not worth it to mine other than to know you can.
