  In case you were wondering. Can I really do something? Can I mine some blockchain based money. Can I earn something from it? Why even mine or audit if it is not profitable? Can I use a Smart Phone to mine Litecoin for instance? Is this another shit post? Well it is not a shit post. It will be a log of my journey into ARM based mining. And how it will impact your lives as the world is being swallowed by BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY. In order for you to understand why Bitcoin came into being and why it is called a trailblazer. You really have to posses the mindset of those geeks who made Bitcoin a huge success. Mining and joining mining pools. Is a lifestyle. It is The Fellowship of The BLOCK(CHAIN) so to speak.

  So what am I going to employ in order to achieve all of what I want to impart to the readers. A simple Chinese made Smart Phone. Pretty old. Quad Core. The Minergate app from Google Store and and an ARM Miner for Litecoin mining. We will be mining Monero, Dash, and others to demonstrate how excruciating the ordeal is when Bitcoin started in 2009. And how hard and agonizing it will be in the future. And how people will adjust. Now let us begin with a very old Smart Phone. And try to install the Minergate app.

Now since it is easy to use let us initialize it.

Now let us monitor our share to the mining pool. After some six hours worth of mining activity. I am a bit discouraged by the results. How can I possibly earn from this? My device is not providing enough hash power to allow me to earn. But now looking at the bright side. Monero transactions are more reliable. Thanks to my Smart Phone. It is still unconfirmed but sooner or later I would have provided enough hash power to be confirmed by the pool. Goodbye for now. Details shall be provided later. Even the ARM Miner will be discussed next time. Bye, bye.
