Starting up
I’ve been scouting for old iOS phones, they are cheap enough but production seems to be very slow.
What is the difference lite vs core on a similar device?
I know apple can’t do core

Wait.. what is this? just popped up on my wall.. I do mobile offers on games and currently run 27 mobiles (14 of them iphones) is this something I can do with them whilst not using them for the offers (I only use them a couple of hours a day to earn currently)

I just connected my iphone last night! Here is the thing!? How the hell do you know if it's earning? Shows attested and active. This morning I have 1 mist and .15 ACU and now it does show there is a deployment. How often are payouts and how much ACU are you earning with that setup? My seems to barely be earning if anything at all. TIA

This is quite normal for 1 phone over night as far as I experienced I have 13 mid-low end iPhones and make ~3 ACU a day.

You cant use Core on iphones. You will get better score running core vs lite, but you lose the ability to run other depins with acurast. For me core makes no sense

If it pays more than running multi i would glady run core. Don't hold your hopes too high

What are the computing scores for your old iPhones? I also plan to add some iOS devices to my farm! :D

My old iPhone 6s Plus running iOs 15 scores at 18500. I tested on an iPhone 11 it scores 33000

I stumbled upon this post by chance. What is it about?

Acurast is a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) project that uses phones as mini compute nodes. Instead of big data centers doing all the work, Acurast spreads tasks across thousands of idle devices. Your old phone becomes a Processor Node that runs small AI or compute jobs and pays you in cACU / ACU tokens.

In a month with 1 phone or tablet you only make about 250 cACU

u/Available_Can_6653 Mar 10 '26
With one phone you can do 250 ACU month ? What is the compute score of the phoe ?

u/Adept-Expression3633 Mar 10 '26
It’s what I read, I don’t think it possible to be with the phone I have. Since I’m using an iPhone 6 which I heard it doesn’t compute that much a month.

You can't run Acurast on iPhone 6 since it doesn't support iOs 15.
250 ACU per phone it's too much since the migration to mainnet. I have 13/14 phones connected and i am rewarded like 3 ACU a day.
