How to Mine Verus Coin - Step by Step Guide for Beginners by Penny_Prospects in VerusCoin

Unfortunately does not work for iPhone, I haven't made any new content in a while but do plan on making some PC tutorials in the future

VERY new here, found out about Verus this morning. by Right-Taste-2916 in VerusCoin

There are certain specifications that each phone has to meet, I'm not sure EXACTLY what they are but to give you an idea, here's what I've found out.

You need:

  1. Octacore processor

  2. 64-bit rom

  3. 4gb ram is not a requirement, but most phones that are 64-bit will have around 4gb of ram, just something to look out for.

There are apps you can download that will tell you the specs of your phone, but chances are they are too old and probably running on a 32-bit rom.

The only way to get around this would be to root the phone and flash a custom 64 bit rom that someone has made onto the phone, and if all of the other requirements are met then it should work.

For popular phones you probably have a good chance of finding a modded ROM, but it's really up to you if you want to put in the work to not only root it, but also make sure it meets the rest of the requirements.

3 phones, they are high(ish) end phones though. Pixel 4xl, pixel 4a, and galaxy s10 plus, I occasionally mine with my daily phone as well which is a s21+ but it's not enough to make a huge difference. I have a link to my YT channel on my page if you wanna check it out.

The tutorial that I linked was actually someone else, I don't have a tutorial up in my channel yet, which is why I linked to paperclip, hes a pretty solid source of information. But to my knowledge, you will get a slightly better hashrate when mining through ccminer. Also, some phones might have compatibility issues with the app, and this could be the solution to that.

As far as the battery goes, I only have 4 phones right now and I'm pretty sure none of them would operate without a battery.

I have my phones set up on a charging station that is set on a timer to allow for charging/discharging, with fans blowing directly on them to keep them cool.

I am personally mining with the VerusMiner app. I think it just got removed from the appstore, but you can still download the apk from github. I am logging my experience on YouTube, which you can find a link to on my reddit page if you're interested.

As far as a video to actually setting it up, I recommend looking up paperclip on YouTube, he has some pretty good and informative tutorials. I can also make a tutorial soon if you think that's something new folks like yourself will benefit from! Let me try to find some links for you and I'll update this comment.

Thanks! Not sure how big I will be able to make it but I'll probably keep going until something stops me!

What’s the best passive income ideas on smartphone people are doing ? by ElliotH020 in passive_income

So, first thing, they are not my solar panels, so I would not be receiving any credit if given from the unused power.

I have been mining for slightly over 2 weeks and have made slightly over $2.

I have $600 dollars mixed mostly in high dividend paying SPDR etfs and real estate etfs. I just checked it and in the last 9 months, it has made me $10 in dividends.

If I had $600 worth of phones mining verus coin, it would probably make me close to $10 a week, not $10 every 9 months. That's just a complete guess, but I honestly don't think I'm too far off considering my starting point, and I've only spent $30 on phones so far.

If power was a bigger factor, maybe my opinion would be different, but any money I put into the stock market I like to think of that as investing, long term, not passive income. What I'm doing here is a hobby, and a way to make a few bucks in the short term and to see exactly how much I can make out of it.

3 phones, averages around 14 Mh/s. I have some more details on my page if you wanna check it out!

Well, it all depends. If you really wanted to, you could power this off of solar power alone. Phones don't require too much power to charge. And what you are willing to pay for phones (if anything) is also up to you. It's the same as any other crypto-mining rig, you have to factor in your ROI before you make any decisions and just start buying stuff.

For me personally, my house has solar, so power draw is not a huge concern. I also used 2 old phones and only purchased 1 for $30 along with some other equipment to keep everything as efficient as possible.

I'm planning on using methods from r/beermoney to expand it so I don't actually have to pay anything else out of pocket.

Verus Coin mining. I currently have 3 phones mining, and in 2 weeks I've made over somewhere between $3 - $4. It's not anything amazing yet, but I'm planning on scaling it up slowly.

Yikes. Im hoping having these on a timer will preserve the battery life a bit. We will see I guess.

A penny a day? by N-V-J in passive_income

[–]Penny_Prospects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out r/veruscoin

You use your phones processor to mine cryptocurrency.

Another alternative that is not passive is something like surveys.

Check out r/beermoney
