RE: Mine Monero XMR Cryptonight7 PoW7 with Android
Only if you can find creative ways to save on electricity.
In some countries (Jamaica included) most smart phones get discarded when damaged (cracked screen but still working for example). These phones can be purchased anywhere from $5 to $20. Not to mention tablets.
Now at $5 per 'device', and each avg about 20H/s... you can see where I'm going, for ~$100 bucks you can supplement ~400H/s to your mine.
Problem still lies in electricity cost.
*I build AMD Riggs and supplement with Android devices. I do not recommend mining on your personal/main phone.
You could probably charge them through solar panels and drop them in mineral oil for good cooling :)
But it become many devices to configure and keep online anyhow. I know Samsung said they would come with a special mining software for old smartphones, installing as a new os without any bloatware, but I don't know if they launced it yet..
