PC mining on release

[vish]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any info on the Windows pc mining program?
I've tried loading up the app on my mobile but for some reason is not even getting to the log in page before it freezes up. Any ideas on android system requirements? As i have a samsung galaxy s3 and would have thought the app should work.

Either way i'll be doing most of my mining from decktop pc and was looking for a little more information on this as i haven't been able to find any. Such as release dates, system requirements..... well anything really.

Cheers for any ideas and info up front

I also got a friend that had problems loading the app on his android. I had no problem at all. Maybe the S3 is too old?

What differentiates Electroneums kind of mobile mining from the "normal" kind? And how does the mobile mining experience calculation work?
- The mobile experience of Electroneum doesn't solve algorithms on a blockchain, but instead allocates coins to your wallet, based on a calulation of how powerful your phone is. All this can be done from the background of your phone. The rate of allocating of coins will depend on the amount of users, the amount of coins mined/in the pool and so on. See the technical paper at the bottom of this post for a further explanation.

Will it cause my phone to heat up, drain the battery or just damage it in any way?
- NO! And this is a huge difference from all the other attempts at creating a mobile miner. This does NOT overheat or drain your battery so the life expectancy drops fast.

Is the app hard to use?
- Not at all! A very clean and easy experience; had a few bugs, but they should be fixed now. A 5 star review on Google Play would help a lot since it's primarily been reviewed in the beginning of the project, where it had a few bugs.

Everything serves the purpose of mass adoptation, which enables a lot of more cool features and stuff.
