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. ### Memory @@ -22,12 +20,11 @@ Memory requirements are very dependant on the algorithm.
