Title: Been Researching But Need help (serious) Post by: mikemar319 on December 07, 2017, 09:36:13 AM Hey folks,
So anyways I've been in crypto for 6 months now, educated myself, and have done well. But I've never mined anything. I have an old laptop from 2007 and YES I know its current guts won't get me jack sh!t (actually still works tho). But I'm an engineer for a day job so I can afford to put a couple bucks aside and I'm here to ask if it's feasible to build the lap top into something useful. It'd be nice if I could make an extra 50-100$ a month using something that I may throw away anyways. If that's not useful I can get a computer off craigslist for 50$ and build it. I went to a lot of sites like what to mine and coinwarz and was just totally confused, so I know I have some work to do. Also, if you think this is super stupid and won't do me any good please say so! I currently hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and Potcoin. Debating Dash and IOTA after their dips take place (currently in motion) Thanks, Mike Title: Re: Been Researching But Need help (serious) Post by: Cuzzle on December 07, 2017, 10:09:50 AM You will not be able to earn any where near what you mentioned with a laptop
Best thing would be to mine a cpu specific coin like aeon. Google cpu minable coins, I found this http://cpucoinlist.com/ This will introduce you to the mining world and you will learn a lot. Use the information you learn to choose a mining direction ie gpu mine alt coins.
