To create an App for Bitcoin, USDT, USDC mining

MIT App Inventor Help

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know how to make a mining app for bitcoin, USDT or USDC using MIT App Inventor.
Sincerely,
Vimal

Here is an answer from ChatGPT for you

Short answer:
You cannot build a real crypto-mining app (Bitcoin, USDT, USDC, etc.) with MIT App Inventor — and not with any Android phone in general.
And if someone tells you it’s possible, that’s a red flag.

Long answer (and why):

  1. Real mining requires massive specialized hardware
  • Bitcoin mining uses ASIC miners that consume hundreds to thousands of watts.
  • A phone’s CPU/GPU is millions of times too weak for meaningful mining.
  • Even if you tried, you’d destroy the device from heat before earning even fractions of a cent.
  1. Stablecoins (USDT, USDC) cannot be mined at all
  • These coins are not mineable. They are issued by companies (Tether, Circle).
  • So any “USDT mining app” you see on the internet is a scam.
  1. Google Play prohibits mining apps
    Even simulated/on-device mining is banned. This means any real mining logic would get your app removed.
  2. What is possible with App Inventor
    If your goal is not actual mining but educational or utility-related, then App Inventor can do things like:
  • Show live crypto prices (using Web component + an API)
  • Connect to a cloud mining service’s API (for viewing stats only)
  • Create a simulated “mining” game (just animation, no real mining)
  • Manage a wallet via an external API (if the provider supports it)
  • Display blockchain information (transactions, balances, etc.)
  1. What you should not do
  • Do not integrate any “mining SDK” you find on the web — 99% are scams.
  • Do not ask users for private keys.
  • Do not promise earnings; that violates Google Play rules and can be illegal.

do you know some cloud mining API where a user can view stats, please let me know

Sorry, I do not know, but I asked ChatGPT for you... you can do it, too...

Good question. There aren’t many “cloud-mining service” APIs that publicly expose full per-user mining stats (because many cloud-mining platforms are not very transparent, or they don’t give that via API). But there are a few mining-pool / mining-stats APIs + related services you might be able to leverage (depending on how your “cloud mining” is structured). Here are some options + notes, plus some serious warnings.

Some Cloud Mining / Mining-Stats APIs to Consider

  1. Minerstat API
  • Minerstat has a public API for pool data.
  • Their Pools API lets you fetch info about mining pools (hashrate, which coins, fees, etc.).
  • Limitation: This is more about pool metadata than your personal cloud-mining contract stats.
  1. F2Pool API
  • F2Pool (a major Bitcoin mining pool) offers an API to get user-specific data: e.g. current hashrate, unpaid balance, payout history.
  • This is very useful if your “cloud mining” is actually you or your users mining via F2Pool (or via a pool that works like F2Pool).
  1. TokenAnalyst Miner Stats API
  • TokenAnalyst has endpoints for Bitcoin miner stats, including miner hashrate, miner rewards, and historical miner inflows/outflows.
  • You can use this to track large mining entities (“miners” in the sense of big pools) — but it's not exactly “cloud mining contract” user-level stats.
  1. OurPool API
  • OurPool (a mining pool) provides an API to query:
    • Balance & rewards stats for an account.
    • Worker statistics for that account’s miners.
  • Requires authentication (token).
  1. Grinmint API
  • Grinmint (a mining pool for GRIN) has a V2 API. You can get:
    • Pool-level statistics: /v2/poolStats
    • Per-user stats: /v2/user/:user/userStats for hashrate, shares, balances, workers, etc.
    • Worker-level data: /v2/user/:user/workers and /v2/user/:user/worker/:worker/workerStats.
  • Useful if your “cloud mining” is really about users mining GRIN via that pool — less useful for BTC/USDT/USDC directly.
  1. Headframe API
  • Headframe (mining-pool software) provides an API endpoint to get pool stats: /pools/{pool_id}/stats.
  • But: this is more for pool operators, not for individual cloud-miner users, unless you are running a pool.

Important Warnings & Considerations

  • Legitimacy & Risk: Many “cloud mining” services have been flagged or suspected in the past. Be very careful which providers you integrate with or recommend.
  • APIs vs Contracts: Having a “cloud mining contract” doesn’t always mean there’s a public API to check precise stats (like earnings, earnings history, hash power usage). Not all providers expose that.
  • Transparency: Some “cloud mining” platforms provide only limited transparency. If you build an app that shows “mining stats” to your users, make sure what you're showing is actually backed by real data.
  • Legal / Compliance: Depending on your country and how you structure your app, offering “cloud mining” dashboard-like features might have regulatory implications, especially if you’re handling money, contracts, or users’ funds.

Recommendation for Your App Inventor Project

  • If you want just mining stats (like pool or hashrate), use a mining-pool API (like F2Pool, Minerstat) and integrate it via the Web component in App Inventor.
  • If you plan to sell “cloud mining” contracts and let users see their contract’s performance, you need to choose a cloud-mining provider that has a developer API or is willing to give you access.
  • Alternatively, build a simulated dashboard: if you don’t have a real mining provider, you could mock up “mining stats” in your app for demo / educational purposes.
