Title: Laptop mining - not another useless thread
Post by: MinerNoob2017 on June 15, 2017, 11:44:34 AM
Hi,
I'm having a free electricity + laptop which can be replaced if it get's burned for free.
My  question is is it still profitable to mine with it using given above circumstances ?
IT's Intel i5 laptop , without gpu, so only cpu mining is relevant.

On my home pc I'm getting ~200 H/s with i7 CPU
On laptop it gets to ~50 H/s with i5 CPU (Tried FCN and XMR mining).

Let me know in comments below if mining in this scenario still unprofitable.
 :)

You will get more if you sell the laptop and get a used miner (since electricity is FREE)

Free electricity negates the only advantage of mining with a laptop, low power consumption.

Yet another useless thread. Read the gazillion already posted on the forums instead of posting creating a new one.
