Hey guys, I am no techie but had the idea that it would be very smart to use/share all the unused power of smartphones (f.e. during night at sleep) for cpu works (like rendering, filecoding etc) and use its free space (even hundrets of MB shall work instead of 200 GB as filecoin needs at least).

It is so obvious to try to use those billions (!) Smartphone potential out there but I dont know any project which do so.

There are so many possibilities therefore. Right now I had the idea of creating a decentralised internet (or messenger at least) based on Bluetooth (or wifi) p2p Network, so it still works after the regular internet may break down.

You can mine Monero with smartphones. You will not mine much, but it is possible. Not jsut with smartphones but there are billions CPUs around the world.  Monero uses RandomX mining algo that prevent ASICs to make much of an advance. So CPUs you can buy in every computer store in every country on the World are competitive with ASICs or GPUs. https://www.monerooutreach.org/stories/RandomX.html
