Title: Altcoin CPU Mining - help for a noobie Post by: ub27 on August 18, 2016, 12:17:56 PM Hello guys,
So I have a core 2 duo notebook and want to get to mining. I know i know that mining is not profitable etc. but I want to start somewhere and also for the fun as well. So what do you guys advise for me? I mean what altcoins should I mine with CPU? Basically I have 'free electricity' and a notebook so I cant lose. Any links and advices appreciated. Thanks Title: Re: Altcoin CPU Mining - help for a noobie Post by: sellcollateral on August 18, 2016, 12:20:00 PM Hello guys, So I have a core 2 duo notebook and want to get to mining.

Made a couple of bucks, but i didn't ROI on the rent tough ;). That being said: you do have something to lose... CPU mining on a laptop will probably kill your laptop.

Since the laptop is under my table since ages its not a problem as well. :) Title: Re: Altcoin CPU Mining - help for a noobie Post by: sellcollateral on August 18, 2016, 12:24:17 PM Hello guys, So I have a core 2 duo notebook and want to get to mining.

fun just explore yourself. Find out what you like to mine, not what others like. |
