Excellent Video- Love the spirit- i am mining with asics at the moment and miss the "mac giver" touch of the gpu days-
the phones really bring it back
Thank you. What are you currently mining?
at the moment btc only.and just selling the absolute minimun to keep going. mining is my way to dca:-)@@SwanCastleCrypto
Great video definitely an interesting concept
Thanks!
Love your channel dude, I've never dabbled in crypto but I'm looking for something to do with extra solar power I'm making, I'm going to try this phone farm and maybe a hivemapper!
thanks! those have both been fun new projects for me, and profitable, which never hurts
As a pc gamer..I found this crypto mining setups by accident, I started with gpu's was blown away and now I'm here at phones just amazed!!! The pwr and electrical bills seem to be a big hurdle, but what if you went solar ? Idk just a thought, you guys have definitely sparked something in me and I will definitely be setting up some sort of rig!!! Ty ty
I have seen some people do solar successfully, but it’s a huge cost to build out. These phones don’t use much power, so I’m not really interested in solar for them
Nice, not overboard, well maybe just a bit. I'm in the process of hunting down more usable phones...
Just a bit 😂😂
Great video, Swan. Welcome to the verus phone farm fam.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Great video
Thanks!
Very informative but a quick question - just what are the specs for mining on an android phone? - like minimum RAM and storage capacity or Octa Core processors. Basically what the minimum requirements. And thank you for your channel....
most important is you have a 64bit phone
game changer, lets go ^^
Let's go!
The only issue i have with phone farming is the fact that its a one coin game currently. If you no longer wanna mine verus the only the way to recoup any cost is selling the phones at a depreciated value, if theyre not damaged by then. I prefer the versatility of gpu and cpu mining due to the huge range of algos.
All the best mate, i hope it pays off!
Good point 👍🏻
@@SwanCastleCrypto having said that, I'd love to see the release of more phone friendly mining algos to add value to the ever growing e-waste issue, and the fact that most of the population in the developed world owns them
just started mining Verus coin today, I saw a video on how to set it up and decided I might as well give it a try with all the phones I get handed as the techy guy in the family.
Nice!
Would you like to partner up with someone to work with this project. I am down to do so.
What a masterpiece
thanks!
lets go!
👍🏻👍🏻!
Well done my friend, well done 👏 ✔️ 👍
Thank you buddy! 👍🏻
Nice idea, I live in a apartment complex, so those big mining rigs are really out of the question for me.
Yea this would be great for an apartment
Would you like to partner up with someone to work with this project. I am down to do so.
great video and thanks for sharing. Quick question: how do you deal with connectivity.. is this all wired via one Dedicated Internet Access line (Wired or WIFI) Could you pls advise a bit more on this. thanks Lounusa
Each phone is connected via WiFi and I assigned a static IP for each
I've been using the Utopia ecosystem for mining for a long time now.
I use Utopia ecosystem for mining. It does not consume a lot of energy, it is harmless to the environment
It is no longer necessary to risk money by buying equipment for mining farms, because there is a Utopia ecosystem that you just need to put on a computer
This was a good video overall and you definitely put some effort into it. However, you should consider talking about the importance of hash distribution and why 70% on one mining pool is a terrible thing in terms of the network. The majority of the blocks found are not attributed to pool mining so the numbers are quite a bit off. In the future, it might be better to not recommend a mining pool and give guidance to new miners about decentralizing hash distribution.
Thank you, that is a good point that I failed to mention
y'all should read the whitepaper, it states since its POW/POS a 51% attack isnt possible @@SwanCastleCrypto
im in to this what app do u use
Great video. I went with 5 phones for now and they have been running great. Do you have an issue with them going out of the miner and have to go back in on the phone to get them mining? I know the way Retro Mike does it now that is not an issue with ubuntu but I know with the verus app it can happen where it goes out of the miner back to the home screen.
Yea I have had issues with the app closing down every once in a while. I may try out the Ubuntu way as I don’t want to have to constantly manage them
Have any of your phones have been burnt yet?
@@carloslozano6879 no
Me neither, and I have 50 running now
Just seems like if you took your initial investment and just bought crypto and do DCA with what you spend on electricity you'd come out way better in the end. Am I wrong in thinking this? I'm new to all this so genuinely curious.
That is an option, but I think I’ll come out farther ahead in the long term by mining. Maybe I’ll put together a scenario analysis on mining vs DCA, because I get this comment a lot.
I'm playing super mario kart and I just mined a coin. Thank you SCC!
loved super mario kart!
I tried this before in 2018. After 6 months the batteries on my phones started to expand and eventually the screens started to bubble as the phone battery expanded. The phones looked like they were going to explode. Keep an eye on that
Can't you remove the batteries and get the power down? I think I've seen other phone mining rigs that have done that. Just a thought. It was good to get a video from you. Plus, thank you for the spreadsheet you sent me.
@@garykostelec1327 Yes but you've got to solder connections to a mini board to manage the power. Way safer too.
Yikes that's scary! I use this flamebuster ball to protect against fire risk. But obviously I'll keep a close eye for bubbling. amzn.to/44vaZ8Q
@@SwanCastleCrypto I like the Flamebuster ball, ingenious lifesaver that I want to buy several.
Why we use the phones as the battery shouldn't expand
Retro has a new way to install an enhanced version of cc miner to increase your hash rate well over 4-4.5mh.
Interesting, I’ll check it out, thanks!
i done it to my 7 phones im using. it was about a 20% increase on each phone. @@SwanCastleCrypto
nice!
Hello I just started mining this but my wallet didn't receive anything. When I copied my address to the mining app, the advised to me that maybe my wallet was newly created or something like that. So I want to know how did you do to receive your money in your wallet please?
I had only 2 galaxies on VRSC but may be I should follow your steps
i did an updated video where i go through some changes I made, including a new software which mines at a higher hash rate
any phone has cpu of MT6765
or helio p35
samsung a03
vivo y17
I don’t even care if they work 😂 it’s sooo beautiful
Our current popular approach is to fix 20 mobile phone motherboards in a customized chassis. The mobile phone motherboard heat sink, chassis fan and power supply are installed in the chassis. Use one computer to centrally control 20 mobile phones, which reduces the size. We now use it normally Install 10 such hosts in the cabinet to create a mobile phone farm of 1,000 units.
wow nice, i'll have to check that out
@@SwanCastleCrypto Welcome to China😀
Can you do more of this video please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
absolutely!
Get a helium mobile plan for each phone, and get them out for a drive. Then just put them back to mining. You can also get an indoor mobile hotspot so you can recoup the cost of all your 30 plans each month, it’s basically free coins
Interesting idea, I’ll look into it
How do you remove what is mining
Woww nice 🎉
Thanks!
Can you file your expenses on your taxes for mining or just for your materials? Just curious
Pretty much everything directly related to mining can be deducted: cost of the miners, accessories, equipment, electric, etc. I am a CPA as well
@@SwanCastleCrypto electric, how ? What is your email?
With these phone couldn’t you keep the back off of them to keep them for heating so fast
Maybe, I haven’t had any issues with them overheating yet
Swan - Watched your video and there is some great info. I just purchased 25 cases with six fans in each case. These came into Miami, but US Customs seized them. They put them up for auction and that is how I got them. Each case also comes with two new Biostar TB250-BTC motherboards in their box. Can these still be used for mining? I don't know squat about these devices and appreciate any help on what to do with them. Thanks
no clue on that one
Is it only specific Samsung a03 phones to mine? Or can you use other phones I have 5 Samsung galaxy s7 phones will it be better or worse than getting a03s?
You can use other phones, I haven’t tested whether others would be better or worse
I have 36 phones in my room chugging away but instead of mining I run android applications like cryptosense. And average 50 cents per device. With instant cashouts. Love your clean set up though
Interesting!
Me ajuda onde achar esse app ?
I am also using crypto tab pro, but there is a problem mining does not keep forever, so every two hours, it asks me to return it on in order to mine any advice.
Check out my latest phone farm video, I switched software and have had no issues with anything going down for over a month now
@SwanCastleCrypto I guess I can still use an autoclicker. It still works very well, but I will check your video, too 👍
If you are not really under sell pressure and you are holding your coins. Please, consider at least to do your main job as a miner aka "Decentralize the POW network hashrate!" 😢
Have a great week and keep on mining ⛏️
yes the centralization of the hashrate all in one pool is a concern. I'll look into other pool options
I can't find any use of the network other than to mine and trade. Maybe p2p
How to get the app or how can i start?
do the phones need to be unlocked or since you are using wifi, it does not matter? Tested my S21 and it only hashed 0.45 Mh/s
nope they don't need to be unlocked.
I'm new to all this and I have a couple phones. I just don't understand exactly what it is.I'm supposed to be doing to set these miners up. Am I supposed to be hooked to a network ? Am I just downloading an app and running something ? Is there a step by step video out there ?
@Retromiketech has some great tutorials on setup
Yeah , I gave up about halfway through the video. I'm not real tech savvy and don't understand half the things he says. He jumps on a computer and there lies half my problem, I don't own a computer. I bought a helium minor and it just sits to my closet collecting dust.
I bought the hive mapper, Put $20 in gas in my car and drove for 4 hours.All I made was fourteen dollars. Just disappointed.
Add a timer let the batterys do their job
I will do that
hey how you turn the screen on that phone ?
A screen rotator app
aha ok thnx
@@SwanCastleCrypto
What is app?
Can we mine multiple coin on phone like monero verus etc
I don’t think so yet
Isnt it more worth to just buy and hold the token instead of putting in over 1k usd with 4 years roi?
That’s another option
If we are connecting to pooIs to make profit, i wonder to whom pools connecting to, to make profit?
Very speculative mining random coins, in comparison to BTC, or LTC/DOGE for instance. All 3 are exceptionally highly valued coins that aren't losing ground anytime soon, vs micro cap alts that may be under the top 100 or top 200 cryptocurrencies.
It’s fun to speculate
@@SwanCastleCrypto it is... but it is most fun to win. It's not fun putting time and energy into a project and it goes badly. Yes it's fun but most fun to win, I moved out West I'm 2013 with $400 bucks. I need a BIG win.
i'm looking for the next BIG win! I'll share it when i find it!
I was going to buy a phone mining farm but 10 miners ($1000) would give me 30 vrsc a month. If i just buy $1000 worth of vrsc i would get 2000 vrsc…if i mined 30 vrsc a month, it would take me 66 months…i just bought vrsc. I would suggest you use orange pi 5 instead, the youtuber “mad electron engineer” shows how to setup the orange pi 5, and gives amazon link for pi 5 and cooler ($100), the pi 5 hash rate is double at 7 mh/s, and you don’t have to babysit the phones. You can set the pi 5 to restart every morning and it automatically starts mining.
I'll check that out, thanks!
Where can we buy vrsc coin?
you easily buy some 120mm USB fans to go behind and is way cheaper in power
good idea, i'll try that
@SwanCastleCrypto I hate to self promote, but my channel is full of ways to optimize your Verus set ups
@lolPaperclip great I’ll take a look!
@@SwanCastleCrypto hey thanks
Oh right I watched this actually
I wonder if that mining farm still operating and making a good profit
Yep I have actually expanded it and am up to 50 phones now, still profitable too
@@SwanCastleCryptonice, good for you sir.
I love phone mining also, very energy efficient.
I have a small setup direct powered, with the battery removed
⚡️✊🏾⚡️
⚡️✊🏻
I have a lot of time that the phone kick me out of the app what can i do whith that ?
There’s a new way to mine not using the app, retromiketech did a tutorial on it. I switched all mine over and they have all been mining with no downtime for 2 weeks. I’ll cover it in a video in a few days
ok i whait on your vid
@@SwanCastleCrypto
or you can share it whit me the video
Where can you buy in bulk quantities, say 1000 phones?
Not sure about that, there were some people selling 100+ phone lots on ebay, but they were asking too much for them imo
@@SwanCastleCrypto Is there a way to bulk buy directly from Samsung?
possibly, i haven't looked into it though. I'll see what I can find out
So you can connect all the phones to one account?
Yes they all mine to one pool account
There is a work around to be able to mine on an iPhone
Interesting, did not know that
What app do you use to mining?
i switched apps, i did an update video after this one with the new one. I get higher hashrate with the new one
You could run that entire setup on a few batteries.
Exactly what I was thinking, fix the battery issues by having an exterior battery to a converter to charge them all
Can we buy the coin in exchanges?
It has trading pairs on SafeTrade. I have never tried it though
Abeg how much you earn per day of each phone
the amounts I reviewed divided by 30
Hey Mr.Alex i have a question for you how do i keep my phones safe and not overheating them any idea?
The fans help keep the temp down. I put one of those fireball fire extinguishers above the farm to prevent my house from burning down 🔥
What app or software you use ?
I switched to a different app since making this video, get a higher hashrate. Here is the tutorial I followed: ua-cam.com/video/AqPIB6s0P14/v-deo.htmlsi=4sf6YlKhLFN-nQxV
get some spare metal or computer heatsinks and attach them to the phones to dissipate heat.
Good idea
Hello tell use more how to build up the phone
how can i connect all my phones in one account???please help me with it
You just put a different worker name for each in your pool
No expenses will be required when mining in the Utopia ecosystem.
I have around 100 laptops can i do this with them?
maybe? depends on their processor specs, but worth a try
Would you like to partner up with someone to work with this project. I am down to do so.
App link?
github.com/pangz-lab/verus_miner-release/releases
Is that OK to do this with locked phone ?
yes
I have access to 1,500 android phones, what sort of return would i expect?
Depends on the model of phone, test one out to find out
50 dollar phone, thats 4 year ROI, good choice ^^ i always thought to myself that this is only an opportunity to use older phones u or friends used in the past, buying a 50 dollar phone, as i said, is a loooong ROI, btw, in 4 years no one will pay u 50 bucks for this phone .. more like 10-15
We shall see
i bought new octacore smartphone for 20 bucks from china, i will let you know how the hashrate is 🙂
Please do!
after 4 months how it is ?
VRSC is up quite a lot, which helps to increase profitability. Besides that, it’s been smooth sailing, I have a different software that I loaded and I haven’t had to touch any of the phones in over a month
Only thing that would make it worth doing all this and investing into. This would be getting paid from youtube also. Invest two thousand dollars and hella time to make seventy cents a day
How did you unlock the phones?
they all came unlocked
@@SwanCastleCrypto in the listing it says there locked :(
@Cooked_Pigg ohh that just means the phone is tied to a specific carrier, that doesn’t matter for mining since you won’t be using it as a traditional cell phone. Ie no SIM card or cell coverage. You’ll just be connect it to a wifi network to mine.
I did have an issue with one phone I bought off eBay that was completely locked. Ie I couldnt even get in and the carrier had disabled all functionality. Probably means it was stolen. I was able to return it to eBay though
@@SwanCastleCrypto thanks for helping me out!
Anoter thing to do with this, is that if you're good you can dismantle the phones and sell the screens back for a bit of money in return. Even £10 per screen would be a nice return of £300-400 if you're careful to remove them.
Also removing the liion batteries and hard wiring them would be better for safety minimising risk of fires. Plus you also recoup your costs faster on the farm
Interesting, hadn’t considered that, thanks!
@@SwanCastleCrypto I noted the comments end of the video. You could probably still sell your phone's too even without screens. Maybe as spares to repair companies.
can i use the same wallet address?
Yes
Thanks. I just bought 5 phones
Did this ever reach ROI?
Not yet, but it’s made about $700 so far
@@SwanCastleCrypto very interesting
How much you make per month?
See my monthly earnings video, I release it at the beginning of every month
Do you have how many phones and you only make $.84 profit?
It’s higher now
Hi I'm Alex I really like your videos I want to tell you something in person thank you
What's up?
Hello
@@SwanCastleCrypto hi dude, I want to offer you a cooling system for your phones, this is a stainless steel tank dimensions: thickness 10cm, width 50-60cm, length 90cm, water supply on one side, return on the other
It will be glued with thin transparent double-sided tape, even if you turn on running water once an hour, it will be much less expensive in relation to the electricity that is incurred
Your cooling fan
You'll make more form this video from UA-cam than your 30 phones LOL
unlikely given Verus is up over 200% since I published this video lol
you must be a noob in crypto. Even if it's up you won't be able to sell and get out, there isn't enough volume. Look at the sell orders bro LOL@@SwanCastleCrypto Thanks for the video though , who doesn't want to earn from phones, its like the best thing ever, its just not profitable enough until something does some along. Keep trucking.
I'm seeing $60k in 24 hour volume on safetrade, more than enough volume to sell the few hundred coins I have earned so far.
how much you make 1 day? money
Currently about $2/day
@@SwanCastleCrypto thanks for answering 🤝 and maybe you know… can i male earn money online from home? 🏡 sites or app maybe you know
Personally I deeply prefer ASIC mining to anything else period.
Fair enough, I like diversifying into many types of mining
How much bitcoin you earn until now
It doesn’t mine Bitcoin
@@SwanCastleCrypto how about the profit from your investment
Use that fifteen hundred to buy the coin, and stake is probably better
that's another option
This is cool. Brother you should start a new channel about space, with photos from nasa. We are pulling teeth, this content is NOT evergreen. Something like the rings if Saturn you can watch 10 years oater. All crypto gets out dated in weeks! Kills the niche. You have skills use them where you can profit.
Verus is the way!
Yes!
Purchase a large freezer
😂😂
12ct/month for electricity is awesome.. here in germany im paying aroung 55cents per month. thats fucking trash
Ouch, yea tough to run anything profitably at that rate. I have a lot of low power miners I have reviewed on my channel if you’re looking
is it profitable today
Yes, profitability has increased since I made this video
I'm confused this whole investment is only making you less than a dollar a day? That doesn't even cover your overhead in a year 😅
Dubious speculation
wait 84. cents a day ! are you kidding me !
It’s several dollars a day now since the token is way up since this video. But by all means, please don’t waste your time on this
You'd be better off just staking.
maybe
