Mining on the phone is one of the ways to mine cryptocurrencies, which involves the use of special software and the use of the power of a mobile device. It differs for availability, a large selection of applications, and small investments. Among the shortcomings, perhaps the main can be considered limited opportunities, a small profit, and impressive wear and tear of the device.
The number of applications that offer to mine cryptocurrency on phones is increasing because of the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies. In 2022 you can find about 200 programs focused on mining using a smartphone. The vast majority of such software is an empty shell. Such apps only advertise this type of income, promote paid services or collect confidential data.
It is possible to mine on both Android and iPhone. Unlike the Google Play store, where not the “cleanest” applications “leak” in, in the App Store the situation is much stricter. Here, the probability of downloading such programs is minimal, and the software associated with the mining of cryptocurrencies is immediately removed. Many enthusiasts started creating bitcoin games to circumvent the ban: the user mines cryptocurrency by playing games. However, this is more entertainment than serious mining.
In contrast to classical mining, which requires powerful equipment (ASIC miners or GPUs), cryptocurrency mining on a phone has several features:
In most cases, work is carried out in pools, because solo mining is not effective (tiny device power). Android devices are preferable in terms of profitability. Cryptocurrency mining on a smartphone is more training than a way to earn money. It requires devices with high performance and capacity. Crypto mining on a smartphone entails many problems associated with the need for constant battery charging and a high probability of breakdowns.
Mining on the phone is more fun than a real way to earn money. The amount of profit is limited by the capabilities of the smartphone, and real income rarely exceeds $5-10 per month. Many applications are not designed for real profit at all. They are marketed as miner programs, but they are just games. If you are interested in real earnings, it does not make sense to waste time on this. Thus, at the current Bitcoin rate, the current mining profitability on the new iPhone 13 is approximately $0.70 per day (excluding electricity fees and battery wear). On the other hand, just 7 years of mining – and you will fully pay for your iPhone 13.
Reviews about mining on the phone are mostly negative. Smartphone owners complain about low income, high “minimum withdrawal threshold”, constant overheating of mobile devices, and fast battery drain. Positive reviews, as a rule, are left by the developers themselves or by copywriters.
Does it mean that having only a phone is impossible to mine cryptocurrency? No. Nowadays, big companies are renting their mining power to everyone – this is called “Cloud Mining”: large, industrial miners rent out part of their equipment online to everyone using special programs. You buy a contract on the company’s website: just choose the amount of leased capacity, expiration date, and referral level.
One of the leading representatives of cloud mining is GreenHashes: mining experts have joined forces to create a new generation of mining farms using renewable energy sources. Thus, the profitability of this type of mining is approaching the maximum level. The user shares part of his profit with the company, which is included in the contract price. Users need only to choose the appropriate option for them because this type of mining is for everyone, whether you are a beginner or a professional, it is not important in cloud mining. The main thing to understand is that here you should not expect “get rich quick”. However, if you are serious about this business, then it is an excellent choice for a passive income.
