@Gibsalot I have a 4Tb cloud that i would love to use LOL but i doubt it can be used since i can't use it on the PC either but i would love to use the Google Drives or maybe even Amazon clouds in my phone... that would be awesome. I've been looking for mounting it at a system level but didn't found nothing yet... If you found something please let me know!? xD

-
@dagentlemang Thanks?! In there they say "The system will not be able to see the local virtual storage since the mounting is done at an application level and not at system level, but it can still be very handy."
But i will try it anyway to see if it works although i still think it will not mount it at a level that could be used in another app... Still will give it a try and let you guys know but i am not very positive it will work xD
-
@gpedro haha yea I get it I've tried Dropbox with no luck. I'm at a point where my cell phone is probably faster then these two dual cores I found in the trash and they mine the cloud pretty good actually

New version of the Android is in the Beta pool and will be released in the next day or two, I'm just coordinating with others. The reason for the update is:
- 2 Bug Fixes, one related to accessing SD cards, one related to the Wake Lock (Power Manager)
- New default pool for mining prior to v2.1 release.

@IceBurst sweet hope that fix my android issue , currently it will mine as long as its pluged into the wall charger but wile unpluged as soon as the screen go's dark the miner crashes on the next block or hangs not sure witch
-
So for someone new to mining on my phone it's ready yet? because I have been trying to plot on my phone and the wallet just crashes.
-
@Cryptotrader85 Plot on your PC, then copy to your phone - it'll save you a ton of time

Okay thanks

hey how come all these android devices are reporting to pool.burst4all.com? I wanna put my android device on that pool too.
-
@goodplanets You can do the reward assignment manually on your PC but regarding to pointing the miner only @IceBurst can help you out... Maybe he is just testing some new improvements of a new release ;D
-
ya ice burst's smart tv and 2 droids are on the pool now. I'M SO JEALOUS!!!!

No need to be jealous, The Google Play store should tell you to upgrade your Burst Wallet, in that upgrade to version 2.0.9 is the two fixes and repointing to BURST4ALL. I'll be monitoring log crashes via the Google Developer console and as I see issues I'll try to address them.

@Gibsalot - thanks, I'll watch for that, There was a bug related to Wake Lock (Which is power management when not plugged in)

Can the non mobile miners please move to a different pool? The miners with 72TB, 18TB and 5.5TB obviously aren't mobile mining - and are crushing mobile miners potential incomes. The idea is to get capacity to the pool via the volume of miners, having them look at the pool and see that their potential earning are 0 will not build a mobile mining community.
It's not my pool, but if it was - I'd IP block the high capacity miners screwing up the pool for everyone else.
-
@haitch I can understand the reasoning behind asking non-mobile miners with large capacity miners moving to alternative pools now. But what about when the android client allows plotting/mining on external storage (i.e., SD cards or external HDDs via USB ports on android TVs)? If I have two 8TB external HDDs connected to my Nvidia Shield, would I also be not welcome on the mobile pool? I guess at that point in time the android client will likely allow users to choose a pool that best suits their capacities and this problem would be avoided. Just wanted to voice some thoughts.
Really appreciate all the development that's gone into this so far - very very cool guys!
-
@vier23 If you can demonstrate that it's really mobile device storage - fine, I have no problem.
But I see no feasible way a mobile device can effectively/realistically/demonstably mine 72TB.
-
@haitch Understood and agreed, 72TB is definitely not realistic for for a mobile device. I guess my question then is: wouldn't someone mining with 16TB on a mobile device also discourage other users with more limited capacities on other mobile devices? I'm thinking eventually we may need to have some sort of capacity restriction if the plan is to get the type of volume-based mobile mining pool (with small capacity miners) you are envisioning. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Thanks for the quick reply
-
@vier23 Not my pool/project - but yeah, if it was mine I'd implement a capacity limit. An individual user dominating the earning capability of the pool is a major dis-incentive to other prospective miners.
-
@haitch yeah, agreed. either that or mobile miners with external HDDs need to join other pools.
