Altcoins based on mobile mining: Do they affect mobile performance ? Is there any research done on this ?

I think if the project is genuinely mining through the apps then they're mostly going to dry out the cell and power of that phone. If an actual project uses the CPU of the phone then it is going to affect its performance. But, if that is just a simulation then these projects are not going to hurt your phone unless they do some back job through the hardware of the phone. That is kinda too deep but that's possible so, be careful with the apps these projects you download because you'll never know if they're going to drain your CPU an other components.

They can be a real headaches! Even the good ones can make you phone super hot and mess up your battery by working it too hard. I heard about a bad appp that was so rough it made a phone's batter puff up and break the back open. Crazy stuff! I'd look into any app really well before you download it, just to keep your phone from getting ruined.

Yeah, that's a real thing if it's starting to produce heat which means that your power, CPU and other hardware are being used for mining the token. And if that looks trouble then I'd gladly stop from mining. I know that there are people who are solely doing that as a type of business because they're hunting for airdrops and projects like that and they want to collect as much tokens as they can. if they can invest into these smartphones, that's fine for them. But if you're the type of guy that doesn't have much resources and you're using your main smartphone for mining that, better stop.
