Google will no longer allow cryptocurrency mining apps on the Android Play StoreEarlier this year, the search engine giant banned crypto mining extensions from the Chrome Web Store, including the ones that were solely focused on mining. In addition, Google updated its Financial Services Policy last month prohibiting ads relating to Cryptocurrencies and related content (including but not limited to initial coin offerings, cryptocurrency exchanges, cryptocurrency wallets, and cryptocurrency trading advice).
The recently updated Play Store developer policy states:
We dont allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices. We permit apps that remotely manage the mining of cryptocurrency.

Aside from mobile wallets android version, every other app related to crypto currency to me, have performed below expectation. They accepted it before, now they are saying no, its just ok to accept their decision and its not total which means it can be reviewed as at when due. I still wonder how long its going to take those who use apps to mine satoshis for it to be worth something tangible eventually.
