Google Play Officially Bans Cryptocurrency Miners

[Henrikbliss]

Google will no longer allow cryptocurrency mining apps on the Android Play Store

Earlier this year, the search engine giant banned crypto mining extensions from the Chrome Web Store, including the ones that were solely focused on mining. In addition, Google updated its Financial Services Policy last month prohibiting ads relating to “Cryptocurrencies and related content (including but not limited to initial coin offerings, cryptocurrency exchanges, cryptocurrency wallets, and cryptocurrency trading advice)”.

The recently updated Play Store developer policy states:

“We don’t allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices. We permit apps that remotely manage the mining of cryptocurrency.”

I think it is a good call. People mostly try it to see what will be the outcome but they end up with near 0 profit and a broken phone. So yeah, phones are not for mining.

This one is good to avoid some hijackers to hack the other accounts for the other miner interest. Doug this can reduce the cancer in crypto currency.
