What do you mean? It's a cpu miner? Different CPUs? Yes, but if it can run on a ARM or similar chipset, it should run on any cpu with compute.
Or am I mistaken?

Different instruction sets. Usually they don't change that much, but there is no support for ESP32 CPU there.
To give an idea, even emulating software from other CPU is slow like heck. At most they've only been able to run Windows 3.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPtNELB45U8
Yeah I get you now. Have you looked at a raspberry Pi option?
Look at the difference in price by yourself. Anyways talking to you reminded something feasible. Geogram isn't only an ESP32, there is also an android and a web app.
Can't include a monero miner on ESP32 but can certainly add one for the other apps.
Look here: https://github.com/XMRig-for-Android/xmrig-for-android/
Some of these phones are used in geogram as stations that don't go anywhere and are always plugged. So we might as well use them for mining when the owner decides so.
Yes, well I thought you knew about xmrig for Android, but yes low hashrates but still a miner. And given xmr's mining protocol, it's less a lottery when it's part of a pool mining cluster.
Putting one of those usbs in the hands of third worlders at scale, well now there's something...
Phones are the way to go.
ESP32 is cool but still out of reach for those regions, whereas androids you kick any stone and find two of them underneath.
It would indeed be interesting to see them all mining XMR.
That why I love monero. Every device can be a miner, and everyone can pool mine and earn some xmr. Coming from South Africa, there's a lot of smartphones and people looking for ways to make money
Yes, monero in my opinion is the only cryptocurrency worthy of that name.
The rest are just casino coins, not really made for the people on the streets.
