Just for Reference: I am not a financial adviser, I am not giving any investment advice or proposing any get rich quick scams, this is purely my own experience and opinions.
I am however quite the crypto enthusiast and have been swimming in the wild waters of crypto for years. Big profits? Sure. Big losses? Absolutely.
Crypto is as volatile as a toddler with a sugar high and susceptible to a multitude of worldly influences, but with this easy and free to use mining app, it’s like taking candy from a baby, so let’s get started…
Crypto 101
What is Crypto?
Cryptocurrency or crypto in short, is a digital currency designed to work through a computer network not reliant on any central authority, such as a government or bank, to uphold or maintain it.
How does it work?
The computer network referred to is better known as Blockchain, it acts as a digital network with its own ledger that records all crypto transactions.
Think of it as a publicly connected network over the internet, used to send and receive digital currency, with a record book that everyone can see, check and use for all transactions.
Crypto Mining 101
What is Crypto Mining?
Crypto mining is the process of using hardware and software to help maintain a cryptocurrency’s Blockchain network and assists by facilitating and validating transactions.
How Does It Work?
When someone sends or receives cryptocurrency, the transaction needs to be verified to make sure it’s legitimate. Miners generally confirm the transactions and add them to the Blockchain (the digital ledger of all transactions). As a reward for their work, miners receive cryptocurrency!
In theory, you become a middleman for all crypto transactions taking place over the internet and in return, you get a small cut of the pie for your efforts and contributions, similar to a bank charging transaction fees for card swipes, payments etc.
Latest Crypto Buzz
The latest crypto project I have been following since its launch, is BlockDAG. They have become on of the biggest crypto presales of all time, beating all their competitors, not only in the presale, but also with their products and services offerings.
The presale has reached a phenomenal 65 million dollars and still climbing. This is a staggering amount of R1188070000.00 in South African ZAR. (One billion, one hundred eighty-eight million and seventy thousand rand), that confident investors have invested into this project so far, crazy money right!
One of their recently released products is there easy to use BlockDAG miners and especially there BlockDAG x1 Mobile Phone Miner.
Let’s Start Mining
Being a registered BlockDAG presale participant, I received a notification that there BlockDAG x1 miner was approved by Apple and launched on there App Store. It has since launched on multiple App stores for most device types.
Don’t shoot me, but I am not a big apple fan! Luckily my partner is and had two very old apple phones lying in her cupboard at the time.
If you’re an apple user, I am not going to bore you with the Apple ID setup, but I downloaded the app, it asked for my country and mobile number, sent an OTP, I entered it into the app and it was as easy as that to setup. On the home page I hit the active mining button and started to see my little coins rolling in.
I added a few links below to download the mining app and jump start your mining adventure.
Getting Started
- Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blockdag-x1/id6503609082
- Huawei App Galary: https://appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C111546261
- Amazon App Store: https://www.amazon.com/Dag-Systems-LTD-BlockDAG-X1/dp/B0D9GXD4LV (I tried this option with an old Samsung I had lying around, but couldn’t get the OTP to work from my Amazon account.
- Google Play: I couldn’t find the app when I searched, so I took the below route:
- If All Else Fails: Go to the official BlockDAG website and click on the Google Play App store icon shown below, download the .apk installation file to your phone and open to install. https://blockdag.network/product/blockdagx1
Use my Referral Code when installing the App: RxLMvOSM

Mining Tips
One number per device and profile: You can only have one mining device and profile setup per mobile number. If you don’t have a secondary number, nothing beats going to your local MTN store to pick up a R5 pre-paid sim card, using your own referral code and setting up a new mining profile.
24-Hour Mining Activation Limit: The mining period only lasts 24 hours, where you have to hit the activation button in the app to restart mining again. I assume the reasoning behind it could be to avoid any unaware mobile phone resource and data usage.
Referral Code Magic: Each mining profile and device you setup, you get a referral code. Share your referral code with other friends and future miners or add it to a second profile to increases the amount of coins you mine per hour.
Phone Resource Utilization: The phone resource usage is extremely minimal, I haven’t picked up any issues with using the phone when I tested other functions, browsing, apps etc. and ran unnoticed in the background.
Mobile Data Usage: I haven’t tested the mining app using mobile data, only uncapped internet through WIFI.
Let’s Talk Money!
The BlockDAG x1 Miner is currently FREE to download and use, even better right! The next level up mining equipment they offer comes in the form of standalone equipment which do come at a cost.
Earnings Potential: The BDAG coin will be listed on exchanges with an initial listing price of $0.05, with speculation that it could reach close to $10 by the end of 2024, early 2025 and $30 by 2030. The x1 Miner allows you to mine 20 BDAG coins daily, that’s roughly 600 coins a month. At even a mere $0.50 per coin, that’s $300 a month (R5,479.29). If it hits $1 or more, you can start to do the math! That all from your mobile phone!
Selling Your Coins: Obviously, that’s why we are all here, to mine coins and sell them for cash money in the bank! BlockDAG is still in its presale phase, meaning that only once the coin is listed on exchanges roughly around October 2024, will you able to start selling your coins. Take this as an early investment to accumulate as many coins as you can before the listing date, but obviously don’t stop there.

Conclusion
I ran three mobile phones for about two weeks and with the referral code sharing between my devices and with a few missed activations, I managed to produce almost a 1000 BDAG crypto coins.
For me, this is a no-brainer to test out, especially due to the minimal electricity needed to charge your phone and uncapped internet, with the same bill regardless.
If you have any old phones lying around, or want your phone to make you money for a change, put them to work!
