 Requirements
 ------------
 
-Intel Core2 or newer, or AMD Steamroller or newer CPU. ARM CPUs are not
-supported.
+- A x86_64 architecture CPU with a minimum of SSE2 support. This includes Intel Core2 and newer and AMD equivalents.
+- Arm CPU supporting AArch64 and NEON.
 
-64 bit Linux or Windows operating system. Apple, Android and Raspberry Pi
-are not supported. FreeBSD YMMV.
+32 bit CPUs are not supported.
 
-ARM requirements (Beta):
+Older CPUs are supported by open source cpuminer-multi by TPruvot but at reduced performance.
 
-CPU: Armv8 and NEON, SHA2 & AES are optional
-OS: Linux distribution built for AArch64.
-Packages: source code only.
+Mining on mobile devices that meet the requirements is not recommended due to the risk of
+overheating and damaging the battery. Mining has unlimited demand, it will push any device
+to or beyond its limits. There is also a fire risk with overheated lithium batteries.
+
+Beware of apps claiming "mobile only mining". There is no such thing, they aren't miners.
+If a mobile CPU can mine it any CPU can.
