So I delete it

Does it run in the background for one hour even after closing the app? How did you track this?
Thank you for letting us know🙂

I noticed that it doesn't run even for a second in the background. You can see that I have used the app for 38 minutes, but the app has run for 0 seconds in the background.

Well I can also restrict background usage.

Source: My settings of the phone. Android.

Hi, so as explained in the post, the network is in phase 2. Where all of this is simulated and tested. The mining will happen on Nodes which are installed by the pioneers on their computers. Also this simulation will finish by phase 2, and in phase 3, all of the coins will be transferred to the live main net.
