• Running a verus miner in mobile phone ( used for Luckpool.net for now )
• Seemless and smoooth miner installation
• Designed for multiple and continuous phone mining setup

🙈Who can use this?🔗

• Anyone with spare android mobile phone to play with and nothing to lose - see the requirements
• Anyone who wants to
  • explore and try verus phone mining
  • maximize the hash power of their phone miner
  • build phone mining hub without the hassle of repetitive and tedious setup

📋Requirements🔗

• 🔑Verus public key/address
• 💻Computer
• Stable internet connection
• ADB Installation
• Git and git-bash (other terminals can be used as well)
