Android Mining Support
-
After registering a new account for Android mining, I was not able to paste my password that I had copied in the previous screen. The paste icon would be visible for a split second, and then disappear. I had to enter it manually, and then it worked. However, pasting works when using the 'load passphrase' and entering my account afterwards. So, it seems to be related to that first screen where you are prompted to paste your password.
Is it possible to change my account name twice? I can't seem to find the option.
Could it be an idea to have a small notification telling new miners to press the 'set pool' button before starting to mine? It might not be obvious that they need to do so, since pressing the 'start mining' will work regardless.
I still cannot see my account on the pool page after registering, but it is probably because I haven't had a good enough deadline yet, I'm currently only mining with 1 GB :)
EDIT
I just heard a fantastic "ka-ching-ching-ching" sound from my mobile, and I see my DL was accepted. On the pool website, I now see my account ID and a small reward estimation. Score!
-
So if I'm mining a different pool on my desktop computer, and I use the same wallet for my android, when I start mobile mining, which pool am I directed to? The one set for my account or the mobile pool?
These leads me to a bigger question about mining from multiple computers using the same wallet but perhaps I'll wait to post that elsewhere...
-
@k.coins you cam mine the same account on multiple devices - but they all have to point to the same pool.
If you're going to be android mining, I'd suggest using a separate account for it.
-
@haitch Alright, so now another question... If I have multiple Android devices, would more coin be mined by setting up different accounts for each or using the same account between them?
-
@k.coins assuming the plots don't overlap - theoretically they'd earn the same.
-
@haitch Best way not to overlap the plots? This seems like it could be difficult to orchestrate between devices
-
@k.coins I manually did the plots then copied them to the phone. Make sure starting Nonce on device 2 > device 1 Starting Nonce + Number of Nonces.
-
Shouldn't this support thread be stickied somewhere?
I blocked all notifications from the Burst wallet, because I did not want to hear the "ka-ching" sound anymore, but it still is not silent when I submit a DL. Is there another way I can turn it off? I am using the latest android update on an Xperia Z3 compact.

@k.coins said in Android Mining Support:
rlap the plots? T
For the current plotting software using the built in plotter always starts at 1, maybe in a future version I will allow users to select a starting nonce. There for creating non-overlapped plots between multiple devices I would rate as an "advanced user" task. You have to manually plot and move to your card or run through some type of interface like the Android Dev tools.

can we mine with any gb we have on our android mobile ?

Before I rush off and buy a memory card for my Samsung S7, can you confirm that you can select that diskspace from the Android App?
-
@YellowJacketA30 I'm mining 200GB on my Note 3 - card is definitely usable.
-
Sweet, thanks for the super quick and helpful response. Off to newegg to spend some bitcoin :-)
-
@haitch Thanks for all the help everyone.
I have a related question. The in app plotter doesn't seem to recognize any SD cards' space. If I add plots to the SD from my computer, will the app read them once the card is installed?
-
@k.coins Yes - I plotted my plots on my PC then copied them to the phone. Just make sure the plots are all exactly 1GB
-
@haitch That's great, thanks! Any suggestions on how to plot the device's internal drive outside of the app? If I have to use ADB or something dev tools, will I be able to control the starting nonce?
-
So it looks like I'll have some learning to do... I can't seem to get the desktop wallet plotter to plot less than 2 GB. And I also need to figure out how the stagger (in relation to the device's RAM?) and # of nonces will work with only 1 GB plots? I'm assuming this 1 GB plot limit is a requirement for the app to mine properly?
-
@haitch did you seriously make 200 individual plots manually?
-
@haitch Sorry about all these repetitive questions and posts... I'm learned a lot about plotting tonight trying to figure this out but probably should have dug into everything more before asking.
So here's where I'm at, I understand the process of correctly making one plot at a time on my desktop using the .bat file I found in the beginners videos. I understand that i can transfer them to the devices' memory (internal and external presumably) after I have plotted them. But now the question is, If I have to make many 1 GB plots in order to use the Android miner, is there an efficient way of automating this successive plotting?
