Title: How much will I make? Post by: BitshireHashaway on April 27, 2013, 10:00:17 PM Hello,
I have a gaming laptop with a Nvidia 650m 2gb graphics card and Intel HD 4000 built into the i7. From what I've heard these are higher end laptop specs for regular usage, but not to good for making money with BitCoins. I plan on mining as part of Slush's Pool, so assuming I do that and its running say 12 hours/day, can anyone give me an estimate from their experience on how much I'll make a day?

I don't want to sound mean, but I feel like the stress you put on your laptop alone out weighs trying to mine with it.

Nvidia cards are useless for mining too . you would be better off selling the laptop and buying some coins . or buying a read mining setup . you need a desktop . with the right video cards . alot of cooling and i would have it on 24 hours a day . laptop would have been good a couple years ago but things have got a bit harder since then .

However, the question I have is that when I entered 5000 mh/s (the 5 gh/s some companies are putting up for sale like bfl), it said that it would make $40/day, and bfl is only charging $274, so why can't you buy one of those systems, and make your money back in a week?
