Taking that further, I would much rather be used as a fractional miner than provide unhindered, across the board access to personal transportable data and per device usage from the device.

Providing a user with means to throttle or govern the mining seems appropriate even if not explicit. If I am trying to use my device put the virtual mining crew on break and dont check back for at least 20 minutes.

Secondly, exclusive mining rights. Only one app per device, but each developer can ask for a share of the haul. Having more mining apps competing for time will work in no ones favor. As the device owner I should inherently be entitled to a significant share.

An auditible mining client would be valuable. I could certainly see this as something that could eventually fit neatly somewhere between an optional and encouraged part of an AOSP deployment.

It will frequently be the case that it would be cheaper for the user to simply buy whatever credits are being mined with their resources (which means that many of them won't knowingly run miners).

Today, perhaps and most likely in all but a few cases. That doesn't preclude a shift or evolution of platforms to more efficiently provide that capability as a built in.
