Monero PocketNode - A Monero node for your Android Device.
WORK IN PROGRESS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. PR'S WELCOME! RECOMMEND USING ON AN OLD PHONE- NOT YOUR DAILY DRIVER. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE ANDROID APPS.
Phone requirements
A 64 bit processor with 2 Gb of storage is recommended to run on the mainnet blockchain.
Install
Download Android Studio, replace the monero64/32 binaries with your own Android ARMv7/v8 binaries and generate a signed .apk.
OR
(If you trust that I haven't added nefarious binaries) Download the .apk from the latest release, and start up the app.
- Open settings menu
- Optional- Check 'Use SD Card' if you have one available on your device (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
- Check 'Start Node' to turn on the node
- DONE
The device will likely stop syncing after going to sleep, so you may want to download an app that keeps your screen enabled: Coffee is working well for me: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.muellerma.coffee/
