Excuse me, but I've been hearing a lot about mining cryptocurrency and I was wondering if it's actually possible to mine crypto on a smartphone? I've seen some apps that claim to allow users to mine while their phone is idle, but I'm not sure if it's legitimate or even profitable. Could you explain the ins and outs of mobile crypto mining, and if it's worth pursuing? Thanks in advance for your insights.

This, in turn, renders the endeavor economically unviable, as the cost of replacing batteries or devices outweighs any potential gains from mining.

Additionally, smartphones lack the necessary processing power and cooling mechanisms to sustain high-intensity mining operations, further exacerbating the issue.
