Android Mining Support

@k.coins I've not tried, only on the SD Card.

@Propagandalf I am unable to stop the noise through any means on my Samsung S7 too. Admin, is thiz just a bug in the current version or am I missing something?
Thanks. Keep up the good work!

So the stagger should always be 1 for Android devices? Can we talk about why this is?
-
Thank you to Haitch for making my life easier. Here's answers to some questions that might have been skipped over.
- The Android app currently only looks for/stores plots in what is defined as the largest external space, in Android terms in CAN BE internal to your phone (onboard memory) external in Android world means outside of the base O/S and is storage for private Apps.
- The stagger size is plotted in 1's via the Android app today, it was the fastest way to get the plotter working without consuming tons of memory, it could be changed in the future if I write more code. Today when it mines the stagger size isn't even evaluated by the miner. Having said that I will probably modify the plotter to plot optimized by default in 1GB chunks using a "direct style" plotter by direct access methods. That will make the mining portion much faster by reading a single nonce to memory rather than 1024, 64 byte chunks that are separated by 1023 nonces.
- Version 2.1, in the works has 2 new "User Preferences"
- Disable Sound Effects During Mining
- Pool Selection (a much harder task)
Expect this release maybe in a month, give or take. Version 2.2 will be a performance update either using the method I mentioned or the conversion of the current JAVA code to NDK using ASM for speed, if I'm feeling spunky I might put it all together in a single release but that's rather optimistic.
Time for an afternoon coffee break,

@Propagandalf said in Android Mining Support:
Is it possible to change my account name twice? I can't seem to find the option.
Thanks for the answers so far, but I don't think this was answered.
-
@Propagandalf Not sure I understand the question - what are you trying to do ?
-
@haitch Sorry about that. At the top of the screen, after I had first created the account, it said I should change my account name for security reasons (outgoing transaction). So I did that. Now, if I want to change the account name again, I cannot find the option.
-
@Propagandalf If it's not in the app, just do it in a normal wallet - it's a regular "Set Name" operation.
-
what are the chances mobile.burst-team.us:8080 will ever forge a block? =P
-
@k.coins
100%, its members have forged 5 blocks, having said that we had some "help" via a 50TB miner when we first started so that we could test features. With version 2.1 of Android you can switch to another pool to get "micro" payouts daily.-IceBurst

would it be posible to connect via Wifi somthing like this to your phone plot it and them mine at 4TB with android

@Gibsalot if your phone can see the storage - you can mine it.
-
@haitch sweet my Girlfriend has been looking into geting a 2TB one to store movies and stuff on for road trips i just might talk her into geting the 4TB and split it with her . half of it is still cheeper than geting a single 2TB each.
-
@Gibsalot work on the 8TB version, and still give her 2TB ....

@IceBurst yea i know right now any of the USB connected devices wont work . but that device has built in wifi ment to store media for phones and tablets thats why i was wandering if it would work via wifi and not usb cable

Guys... I'm thinking of an idea (could be a suggestion or consideration) for android pool. If we only depend on all android miners who joining the pool, which most of them only using <200GB capacity, the chance to hit the block could be 1 in a year (or even never happen).
What if the android pool (mpool.burst-team.us:8080) is given specific rules and at the same time giving a big support to all android miners? Here's the idea:
- limit of maximum capacity to join the pool, let's say max 200GB capacity.
- burst-team (in this case will be very generous) will put 100TB capacity as a support so that the pool will be able to hit the block regularly.
- burst-team's share is limited to get only 30% of earning when it hits the block.
- the rest 70% of earning will be distributed to all android miners based on their historic shares.
If this is a good idea, burst-team (could be led by a senior here, such as @haitch or @crowetic , or even @AdamGuerbuez 'probably' wanna be a volunteer) could create an asset of this 100TB capacity and throw it in AE. Until the 100TB asset shares are fully sold, we can borrow 100TB from @AdamGuerbuez's Giant rig.
This is only an idea. Maybe we can do a vote to see the feedback from others... :)
Oh wait... I forgot to mention @nameless who's usually has an 'out of the box' idea for creating assets.
What do you think guys?
Happy Bursting!

@bitko we're already on it. the problem is we have a ton of much more important issues to handle first.
Although concepts are already being made for the droid pool, there are a few more pressing matters that need to be taken care of first with the win client, wiki, etc. The entire team is working on a voluntary basis, which means we all have very limited time to dedicate to all these matters, and the little time we have, we make sure to focus in the right projects according to priority.
The mining pool will happen. It needs to, but for now we're more than happy we have an android client to begin with :)
Oh, and i already have my ''out of the box'' twist on the future pool :P
