Hi!
Decided to run a little experiment. I got myself a copy of the minergate mining app in the play store and set it up on my old lg mobile phone.
The results are less than extraordinary! But, that is to be expected. People are using dedicated asic machines to mine bitcoin and other alt coins.
My hash rate is shown here mining Monero. The minergate app automatically switches to the most profitable coin you are capable of mining. Quick and easy plug and play. Perfect for beginners!
I am not suggesting that anyone run this program! My phone was getting hot and it was not very responsive on the high setting.
I would be afraid that your phone could over heat and could cause problems if left unattended.
Mine kept sending notifications that the miner had stopped, then restarted, etc. I don't know what caused this issue.
I have since uninstalled the app from my phone.
Back to the drawing board!
