INTRODUCTION
I would take you through a three series post dealing with how to mine cryptocurrencies using an android powered smartphone. This came as a suggestion from @bitfairy in a post I made yesterday :MINING WITH A SMART PHONE
I happen to have endulged in this mining practice some few months back, in my quest to explore how to earn free cryptocurrencies.
This three day post would deal with three different apps that I used to mine during by *adventure
- First Post : Mining cyptos on this mobile using minergate app
- Second Post: Mining cyptos on this mobile using crypto miner app
- Third Post: Mining cyptos on this mobile using ARM miner app
Warning: Mining withe your smartphone can have adverse effects on the phones performance, battery and it's lifespan.
