Title: What cheap coins can be mined on laptop?
Post by: Wikadin on January 24, 2018, 07:44:58 AM
Could you, please, suggest mining on GPU (AMD Radeon R5 M230, 2048 MB) and CPU ( i5 4210U, 2 cores, 4 threads).
Want to mine cheap coins with good growth potential.
Thank you in advance

I mined Peercoin but wasn't worth it. May you should give the smallcap coins a try. Check coinsmarketcap for it.

Try cryptonote, I like electroneum long term, but who knows what will happen. At least you could get some coins. It moves between .06 and .16 last few weeks. .12 right now.

If you're entirely banking on "growth potential" to make your venture worthwhile, then you're definitely better off buying coins than mining with a laptop. (Or perhaps mining may be worth it if your electricity rate allows you to [indirectly] "purchase" coins at a better exchange rate by paying the power cost associated with mining, than by purchasing coins at an exchange, but the return potential under these conditions is still likely less than investing in the coin.)

Additionally, the vast majority of laptops were not designed to be pegged 24/7. You'd have to find a better cooling solution if you wanted to reduce the impact on the lifespan of the hardware.

Weigh out your moves carefully. If it worth done with laptop or better done with CPU/GPU

If you want to use mining as per specifications. You can try ETN coin. But you have to calculate the revenue - electricity bill. and you should think, that the mining process, requires the hardware to run continuously, and remove the heat. whether your hardware durability is strong?

Try this coin Zencash,

Zen is leveraging the best minds in technology, governance, and community building to create the world’s first private, distributed, and reliable platform for communications, transactions, and publishing. This is the some details of mining hash of Zencash.

Algorithm: Equihash

Block Time: 2 m 30 s

Block Reward: 11.00

Exchange Price: 0.00217 btc

Also mining of zencash is available to any specs of laptop. But if you doing mining its required high specification of laptop you used at least 16GB RAM and 1T of ROM,. Using high specs is faster to mine and no hazel and log or interruption   during mining.
