Our verdict on Mobinode
Mobinode is for people looking for a smartphone-based way to participate in NOWchain. Its clearest strength is the simple mobile-access idea, and the app is associated with NOW Chain, Inc. The main caveat is the lack of detail about how Proof of Mobile works, what the app requires from a device, and whether users pay fees or earn rewards. Check the app’s permissions and current project documentation before installing or committing resources.
