GRC Pool Mining on Android

Hi everyone,

I realized that i did not say it so far, but we have a great Gridcoin community here on SteemIt. Thank you, beautiful people, for all your support! I will continue to share my experience, and hopefully more people will join us.

Today I had some time to play around.

I have an old Android phone that I'm not using anymore (with a Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 CPU), and I remembered about reading somewhere that there is also a Boinc version for Android. Therefore, I wanted to give it a try.

Currently I'm mining in a pool, as I do not have enough GRCs to start on my own. Therefore, I installed the Boinc app on the old phone, and wanted to attach it to the pool. Unfortunate, in this Android version you don't have the option to add custom BAM servers, but using the Android APK Editor and this tutorial it was a piece of cake to modify the app, and enable the BAM from the GRC Pool.

All four CPUs are crunching data, but I'm wandering if anybody has experienced using the GPU on Android. This phone should also have a powerfull graphic processor (Adreno 330).

Happy crunching!
