Post by: c789 on August 26, 2013, 04:38:51 PM You could mine Litecoin or other scrypt-based coins with that CPU, using the free program cpuminer, but since it's on a laptop and laptops aren't designed to handle that kind of load and heat, you really shouldn't mine on a laptop. If you absolutely had to, only mine on half of your cores by setting the "threads" flag to something like
Code: ./minerd --threads=2 --url=http://yourpool:portnumber/ --userpass=user.worker:password Again, I emphasize that you shouldn't do this, but that's how. Instead, get several Erupters and a powered USB hub and plug that into your laptop...you'll be better off, and you can use the laptop for other things at the same time.

Post by: cheff on August 26, 2013, 04:41:40 PM Best thing to do would be to buy a USB block and some ASIC USB Erupter, I've even seen some people buying the raspberry pi computers, usb blocks, and asic erupters and dedicating that to a miner.

Title: Re: will a good laptop with no work done mine ? and any 1 want to donate ? Post by: b!z on August 27, 2013, 10:03:27 AM That will not be good for mining. its best to buy an asic. Don't beg for donations.

I dont see much of a profit in it, I think I got into this too late. I wish I didn't think it was a ponzi scheme early on, woops lol. Is there anything like asic for litecoins? Is it possible to get something like an eruptor to mine alt currency's?

"Will a laptop mine Bitcoins off its CPU?" It can, but it's not recommended and you won't get anything. Title: Re: will a good laptop with no work done mine ? and any 1 want to donate ? Post by: favdesu on August 27, 2013, 01:19:20 PM no and no to both of your questions.

Title: Re: will a good laptop with no work done mine ? and any 1 want to donate ? Post by: merlin3650 on August 27, 2013, 03:26:17 PM Is this your way of saying it won't work? If not, then can you help me out and point me in the right direction?

Yes, that should work fine since the Erupters will be doing the work. The load on the actual laptop will be very small. One of my setups is an old HP Pavilion with a 600MHz CPU, 256MB RAM, and this powers several USB Erupters on a powered hub. It runs on Crunchbang Linux...no problems.

Title: Re: will a good laptop with no work done mine ? and any 1 want to donate ? Post by: merlin3650 on August 27, 2013, 04:22:03 PM Probably not much, considering the difficulty level. I plan on starting with a few more. Hopefully 10 or 15 to start. Then grow it from there.

Post by: murraypaul on August 27, 2013, 04:57:04 PM what will 1 BE earn According to the calculator here: http://wheretomine.com/ a BE with a hashrate of 335 MH/s will earn $0.30 per day mining Bitcoin. That is at the current difficulty level, the figure will decrease each time difficulty increases (between every 10-14 days). |
