Hello to all,

I would like to encourage all people to use their old and unused mobile phones or tablets, if they are at least meeting the technical requirements.
I even are using now my old Blackberry PRIV whioch runs on Android 6.0.1. connected just on WiFi without any SIM inserted with the Android BOINC-App
Although it may be slow in comparison to those power-PC'S here it is better than nothing, And if everybody in the world would use their old mobile devices instead of haveing them lying somewhere it would contribute to the project. Just start the App and leave them on the power cord. That's simple and easy.

I already spread that information to my friends and some of them are already participating.

Regards
Tony

I've got an old Pixel 2 running and even older Nexus 7 trying to help out.
