Samsung Made a Bitcoin Mining Rig Out of 40 Old Galaxy S5s
Samsung's new upcycling initiative will enable to use entirely new software on old phones. And as a part of this initiative, one the thing that caught attention during Samsung's developers conference in San Francisco is 40 S5 bundled mining rig.
Samsung declined to answer specific questions about the bitcoin mining rig, but an information sheet at the developer's conference noted that eight galaxy S5 devices can mine at a greater power efficiency than a standard desktop computer
"Its true that mobile devices can perform much better in mining than standard computer"
It's all very cool and Samsung plans to release both the software it used to unlock the phones as well as the various plans for the projects online for free. This innovative platform provides an environmentally responsible way for old Galaxy mobile devices to breathe new life, providing new possibilities and potential extended value for devices that might otherwise be forgotten in desk drawers or discarded.
Here is an old phone with facial recognition software to guard the entrance of a house in the form of an owl.
The site will work by allowing users to download software that removes Android and opens the devices up to other forms of software. From there, users can browse a wide variety of homebrew software and projects.
I appreciate Samsung to bring up such a concept and maybe other manufacturers too must show some concern to our environment.

It will do if you are mining some altcoins.
Thanks for the comment😇😄
Followed you🕺👯
Smart phones and Tablets are the future of cryto-mining because it uses less power than a desktop pc. Just that CPU mining is a draw back since it's slow.
Crypto mining has to adopt some energy efficient technique, it will comes to a pivot point where energy is available at a substantially high cost and mining will become no longer profitable. We can't use mobile for it but similar technology solely for mining would be helpful.
Thanks for the comment. I just followed you @alvg
