Title: So this is hypothetically Post by: skottiejay on July 09, 2011, 04:33:12 PM Since I run a netbook, and since I can't stop mining and it's CPU mining would it make more sense for me to, say install a lightweight linux distro and maybe get a tiny speed boost?
On good days my Acer Aspire One AOD250 gets 1 MH/s, would there be any small chance of increase? Just curious. Title: Re: So this is hypothetically Post by: eastendtech on July 09, 2011, 04:36:42 PM Why can't you stop mining? o.o
Title: Re: So this is hypothetically Post by: skottiejay on July 09, 2011, 05:11:02 PM I don't know maybe it's addicting or something, but I was just curious because this isn't getting me anyhwere.
Title: Re: So this is hypothetically Post by: Stupidpal on July 09, 2011, 05:37:41 PM Yeah that would make sense. I can relate to the can't stop mining thing. It is addictive. :P

Title: Re: So this is hypothetically Post by: Jack of Diamonds on July 09, 2011, 06:52:46 PM 1mh/s for 45 to 60 watts of constant power usage is a bad idea. Electricity will cost more than the 0.02BTC the laptop will be earning you every month.
Title: Re: So this is hypothetically Post by: skottiejay on July 10, 2011, 12:23:41 AM still curious about this, anything to help really.

Installing linux takes all of an hour at most. Title: Re: So this is hypothetically Post by: rethaw on July 10, 2011, 03:06:41 AM You should try fakeminer, it gives all the pleasure of mining without any of the upfront costs!

if it doesn't, no harm no foul. 'monkey |
