Topic: When will smartphones used for bitcoin mining? - page 5. (Read 4835 times)

Even large mining farms cannot bring much profit now. Bitcoins will be never mined on the smartphones. This is simply impossible - no one phone will manage this task.

Smartphones aren't and could never be used for Bitcoin Mining as it was too small and cannot withstand the heat and pressure produced by mining rigs and processors.  Yet possible if and only if a mining hardware was produced with no coolant required. I like your being optimist, yet it should be "can surpass". 

Same here. My phone gets hot when you're using the Internet while there's a lot of programs running or when I'm playing games. For example if I'm downloading while playing graphics intensive games like Need for speed. I pretty much have myself a portable oven toaster because I can easily toast a bread on it after just a couple of minutes. Now, imagine what would happen if your phone is communicating to the Internet while being at 100% cpu usage. It's going to be hot right away, I'm not sure if it's going to be able to be at that state for 24/7 without exploding.

There really is not any sensible point as to why would you mine with your phone. First, it doesn't have that much power to mine. Second, it's got bad ventilation system. Third, it's expensive. Fourth, it's just not made for mining. If your phone and a decent graphics card costs the same, why would you choose to mine with a phone. Another thing worth noting is that even the best graphics card won't give you decent earnings in mining these days. You need multiple graphics card and a good ventilation system. So even with one graphics card, you're not going to be earning money. That's why it's also pointless to mine with your laptop or your personal computer. You have to put a decent amount of money for this kind of business to be profitable to you. Otherwise, the electricity bill will be higher than your earnings.

actually it is possible to use your smartphone as a mining tool in order to earn a bitcoin . so many websites are now offering a browser mining , cpu mining , mining via the application , etc that you can use so that you can obtain a bitcoin . 

Yet , mining using a smartphone alone isnt really worth it because you can only get less profit in a longer time of work . at the end of the day , your electric charges will only go higher rather than your daily income .  so think twice before you do it as a hobby .

If a smartphone can exploit Bitcoin, then everyone has the chance to own Bitcoin. Bitcoin will become much more popular and the Bitcoin value will increase dramatically.

Technology is fast who's know in future APPLE made some super fast smart phone which can mine the bitcoin but for now its impossible.

To mine bitcoin requires a lot of resources, which unfortunately the phone at the moment can not give! Or the phone will be at least the size of the miner ASIC,and it will not be mobile.

Exactly you got the point. it was good to do with mobile phone when the block difficulty was too low. but in current scenioro you have to wait for 100 years to mine a block of bitcoin from mobile phone.

Smart Phones will never be used for any mining adventures, because it will be not profitable as lot of improvements are made in mining sectors, people has now high tech mining equipment, so this is not going to happen.

in my opinion for smartphones it is not possible to use cyrptocurrency to mine because smartphones are not designed to mine cryptocurrency, I think the PC is still better and stronger for cryptocurrency mining

Well i strongly agreed with some members here in the thread that smartphones could not be used as a mining for bitcoin and other crypto because smartphones are intended for social uses like communications and broadcasting live videos using its cameras. So we should not use smartphones for mining instead we have to focus on its features and how it will be going to use.

Bitcoin mining can only be done through computers with high graphics cards, bitcoin mining on smartphones is not possible. Some time ago, I have read that there are smartphones that have the potential to produce crypto currencies and that too, I think it will take a long time. Some apps that offer bitcoin mining on cellphones must use the cryptonote algorithm, one of the cryptocurrencies (not bitcoin), which is then converted into bitcoin.

it was a very long time ago, even I heard that Samsung itself would issue a mining tool and it was still a computer type. maybe for a smartphone is not the right tool for mining because the purpose of the smartphone itself is to make it easier for us in various ways, try to imagine if a smartphone is only used for minin and cannot be done for communication, then it can no longer be said as a smartphone

for me it's really possible, now there's a smart phone that's the best of the designed for a crypto like htc exodo that's best and it's something comfortable with all the steps taken by a company it uses as telecommunications of people and will not be handled out, and other names will follow HTC and a mobile specialist should have a mobile phone about a bitcoin mining .

That can happen but it takes a long time. And I think the smartphone is not configured enough to handle a string of algorithms.

Smartphone mining has no value. The difference between mobile phones and computers is too big to bear the heavy responsibility of mining. The biggest use of a smartphone is to pay.

It won't happen, it impossible. to mining, it will cost you a lot of power and no phone can bearable. Smartphone as know as digital wallet, you can simply download an app and that's how you make it as your wallet. that all you can do with your phone.

I don't think it can be happen since smart phones has minimum item in it. Low Ram with lowest processor can burn the phone. We all are aware that bitcoin mining use 100% usage of process and it can eat the ram speed.

You are right, with the current specifications of mobile phones now I don't think it can mine a bitcoin and it will surely not profitable to use it. The difficulty of every blocks is very hard now.

i don"t think cellphones will meet the requirements of a mining capacity. we atill need to wait for a new high powered for mining  purposes my friend.
