Wait, I could mine Monero on my phone? 🤔

look in to it

true, easy enough as well!

Here's an opensourced version for older devices.

I use Minerstat and gupax on windows

Nothing open source that works on newer devices? Sad

There is, there's an app for Android 10 and above

Haven't been able to get anything working. XMRig for Android doesn't work out of the box and search engines don't find any info on how to get it working

Mining Monero was useless on my 6 node x86 cluster WTF are you going to do accomplish with a silly arm device w/Android

Sounds like a skill issue

Weird thing is there is a guide for mining Nano using XMRig which might have the info I'm looking for but I don't feel like clicking that search result since it's sus. Just can't find anything else, all the other search results are even more unrelated to my queries but the search engine is good at trying to make them look like possible answers to make me waste time sifting through 😮‍💨

I should have given you a serious answer. I didn't give you a serious answer at first because I guess I don't actually take phone based mining very seriously, but you did need the actual info you were asking about. Answer: You can get free electricity for a phone at most libraries but they might not react the same way to you bringing your 6 node cluster to plug in. When you have to pay for the electricity, the newest phones always have newer CPU transistor manufacturing than your cluster for better power efficiency. So if anyone can make a profit on the cost of electricity to mine cryptocurrency, it might be a phone. But like I said, it's all kinda silly to me since phones aren't really secure or private enough to be as good for this as dedicated mining rigs can be.

AH ty. But ignore all that. Just think about time and money....with phone hardware, you can expect to make $0. I only made at most 2 cents a day with 6 nodes

I'm just saying the $0 is all profit

Is your time not worth more than $0 ?

Not without Digit Maybe not with Digit if she doesn't think I'm lame for just finding it fun to see if my phone can get a penny

Nothing useless about securing the network and getting paid for doing so. Running any device via xmrig just adds to the global hashes Decentralized, localised, cheap, accessible, private, anonymous, peer to peer, What more do you need?

How do you actually get it to connect to anything though? Everything I've tried just has the pools reject the connection

I haven't tried it yet! I'll only be able to do that in a few days time. There is a xmrig wizard:

Configuration wizard - XMRig

what pool are you using? did you set up in accordance with them?

I've tried a few different pools starting with HashVault, tried both the app's built-in presets and the xmrig.com wizard Couldn't find any further info about how to set up, so not sure about accordance
