Hello! If it's not too late, I'd like to leave feedback on the Pickaxe and Cryptonight Android Miner programs on the example of the Samsung A5. The first program showed 30 h / s, while the warming was less strong than in the second case, where the heating was longer and the speed was about 20 h/ s. But in the first case the battery was charging faster and when connected to charging, in both cases there was a strong heating of the phone. As for Internet traffic, it did not measure.
If there is an opportunity to consider the option of mining as a mobile application of Electronium, as they did not have time to understand, there is practically no resources consumed, at 30 h/ s. It would be ideal for our coin.
alexhihidok, Thank you for your feedback and for your test results from various mining apps on android devices. I appreciate your involvement and commitment.
Electroneum mining is not actual mining but simulated mining. See this...
"While mining for Electroneum, your phone won’t be performing real mining (as is done with a computer), but rather a simulation of mining.
Instead of actually using your phone’s CPU to solve complicated cryptographic problems, the app will continually monitor the available CPU power on your phone. In this way, it will determine the amount of CPU power that could have been used for mining, had the phone actually been mining.
Your phone will then be issued with a hash rate (speed of mining, if you will) based on its available CPU power. This value will typically be between 30 and 50 H/s (hashes per second). ETN coins will be credited to your online wallet based on this hash rate."

https://electroneum101.com/how-to-mine-electroneum-with-a-mobile-phone/Simulated mining is based on software and not on hardware though the simulation result is supposed to be correlated with the hardware configuration of the Android Device used for mining. The technology we use to create a digital identity for our Pocket Miners which will be registered on our servers is not ideally suited for simulated mining and there is always a chance for clever programmers to amplify hash rates in simulated mining. But the point you have made about usage of lesser resources for mining is very valid and we are in the process of creating a lean mining environment for our Pocket Miners, in order to reduce the consumption of resources, there by minimizing the thermal output from the processors.
You will be one of our prototype testers when the Pocket Miners are actually ready for testing during the month of September 2018 prior to our launch in October 2018.
