Title: What Altcoins could I mine right now from two 5 year old Asus laptops? (if any) Post by: Tacalt on August 02, 2016, 01:18:46 AM Okay, all kidding aside, I really don't know that much about mining, I have been investing for years but never really got much into the other part of it and my questions are;
1. if I wanted to get started on something right now, with two laptops that i would be willing to leave on forever with pretty good bell fibe unlimited internet where I can make immediate money? 2. Are their any alt coins that I can mine from two 5 year old laptops that I would just leave on forever. They are basically going in the trash or being sold on kijiji right now to help pay for my dogs Chemotherapy and I was wondering if I should be setting them to mine something productive that I could be selling for more money. like, is personal laptop mining still a possible thing for any alt coins. My dog and I could really use some advice on this. Thanks Title: Re: What Altcoins could I mine right now from two 5 year old Asus laptops?

I highly doubt that but you could maybe make very little profit off them by mining Ethereum. the best choice would probably sell them and buy a second hand desktop GPU, motherboard, CPU, RAM and PSU and let it mine 24/7.

It is probably best you sell the computers if the money is needed as mining from them will not work. Moving on I have to wish you both luck on finding the funds needed. How old is doggie if you don't mind me asking?
Title: Re: What Altcoins could I mine right now from two 5 year old Asus laptops? (if any) Post by: Tacalt on August 02, 2016, 03:35:54 PM He is a 13 year old Siberian husky, his name is Hagan, he was 100% OK just this past April, we were still going to the dog park daily and he was running at full speed and unfortunately he contracted something called eosinophilic disease which causes cancer to grow and he degenerated pretty quickly. Fortunately for us we seem to have caught it in time and he is doing well on his medication. It even seems as though it may be possible to recover from this entirely but the meds plus the vet visits come to approximately 1000$ CAD every month, so Iv been buying and selling things on Kijiji and just doing whatever I can to make extra cash. Thanks for the advice everyone I'll sell the laptops.
