Altcoins based on mobile mining: Do they affect mobile performance ? Is there any research done on this ?
Yes, based on my own experience, I used to have a lot of mining applications that are similar to PI when I was active on mobile mining and I noticed a significant drop in battery life; it can even reduce the lifespan of a high-end cellphone.
And there are articles and studies that you can find online that can proved it but there are developers who claim that their cell mining application claims to be energy efficient but you have to prove that yourself. My advice is to never install more than 3 mobile mining applications, as it will shorten your cell's lifespan.
I now install several applications such as StarTowerChain, ROAM, Uplink I honestly don't pay attention to how the cellular performance is because at this time it is still fine maybe if it is examined it can affect the performance of the cellphone.
Yes so far do not install much for mining applications that can waste the increasingly wasteful battery that is tried on the old mobile.
