I want to mine on my Laptop (hobbyist mining)
I want to know of the best mining software that i can use to generate a very small income (from new coins).
I need to find any software for my Windows 7 computer. I want to install the fewest software possible for my computer.

Any Suggestions?

read some guides on mining first please :) there are sticked in various forums here
mining on laptop is like throwing cash down the toilet

for hobby buy some fancy bitcoin node and run it :)

I hope also that you are aware that mining Bitcoin on your laptop (even for hobby) will most probably destroy your machine, burn it to death! So keep this in mind as well please!

Like an antminer s5 or s7 from bitmain?

No he didn't mean that. S7 is the latest asic machine that you can get. The most advanced pretty much at the moment. That's what the pros are using, big mining farms are using s5 and s7.

He pretty much meant that you get something like an USB miner that won't put to much load on your laptop but will let you discover mining for hobby, just what you want.

That very sentence is confusing. You actually mean you want to mine on a miner, laptop mining is obsolete today considering the enormous power of professional mining centres.

The software to use is either bfgminer (https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=877081) or cgminer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0). Those will work with any ASIC that you get, and if you compile it yourself, will also mine using your laptop's GPU and CPU. Neither support CPU mining by default (needs to be enabled in compilation), but bfgminer does support GPU mining whilst cgminer does not by default.

U are a few years too late buddy, mining with laptops is long gone.
Get a small ASIC and play with it.

Even if it's just for curiosity, a laptop isn't designed to handle the loads that mining puts on it. It's a constant effort and they're designed for short bursts. You could look into a USB block erupter but bear in mind that you won't even make your purchase cost back on that.

Whatever kind of laptop or PC that all is not intended to mine and it will accelerate the life of your laptop or PC. better buy mining tools

Actually what software doesn't really matter the performance will just slightly differ. However laptop mining can easily destroy your laptop I suggest buying some USB block erupter for hobbyist mining

You will earn almost nothing or perhaps nothing...
you will have withdrawals fees if you reach the minimum payout.

it is why I propose to all little "minermen" to mine for me and i will give them for it satoshi for extremely low fees,or perhaps even fees free.

sgminer for amd and ccminer for nvidia, but your laptop won't be able to mine with them because, your vga is most likely to be a very old gpu

better to go with cpu coin only, and try your luck there

I think mining in laptop is not profitable fast. I will suggest to not to mine... But if you want to mine with your laptop you need a asic miner like usb miner you can buy cheap around $5-$20. Then use cfgminer for easy to setup...

Go for pool mining if you want to use your laptop.It won't burn your machine at least ;)

Better to buy some hardware mining https://bitmain.com
Mining with your laptop is useless just make your laptop wreckage, the difficult is increased http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

I have been running an older butterfly labs miner on my laptop for the past year with no problems. If you plan on CPU mining then just forget it.
