How to Mine uPlexa on Android Devices


What is Mining? uPlexa mining is the process of adding transaction records to the uPlexa private ledger of past transactions. This ledger of past transactions is called the block chain as it is a chain of blocks. The block chain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place. By mining blocks on the uPlexa network, you help power transactions, whilst being rewarded a reward based off of the amount of shares your computer submits overtime.

How Can I Mine? uPlexa's Cryptonight-UPX algorithm has been built in-order to provide higher hashing power than other blockchains for the internet of things (IoT). This allows for all things with processing power and internet access may mine on the uPlexa network, resulting in one of the most decentralized and private blockchains to exist. You are able to mine on your PC, phone, tablets, TV's, TV Boxes, Raspberry Pi's, and more.

Antivirus/False-Flagging: Cryptocurrency miners are almost all false-flagged by antivirus companies as a potential "harmful/coinminer". This is due to botmasters who install cryptocurrency miners on their victims computers without knowing it. XMRig-UPX & UPX-Android-Miner are open source projects, and you may choose to compile these on your own.

How do I Start Mining with my Android Device?

First, you will need to create a uPlexa wallet. This is the wallet you will receive UPX (uPlexa coins) to. To create a wallet you may choose from the following options:

The wallet process is pretty straight forward. However, if you get lost, feel free to follow this step by step video guide by "IMineBlocks":
