Title: You've heard this before.... Post by: kallindown on June 19, 2013, 06:10:12 PM But can I use an old laptop to mine bitcoins/litecoins and how much $ would I need to invest before I could make 0.5 bitcoins p/w if im getting free electric off my landlord ? Any info or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

He'll kill his laptop before he finds a single coin. These things are not made to run 100% 24/7. Title: Re: You've heard this before....
