do you seriously want that's the device for mining?

first, iPhone isn't a product to use mining, iPhone making calls,SMS and updated status on your social media.

for the laptop not design for long time periods and laptops have the small fan. when mining process issued heat, your laptop comes to be broken.

any coins will you do it of mining with Macbook, you have small hashrate and you have the small profit. your profit more less than bill electricity must you pay.

These are indeed not the best machines to mine with. With the macbook you might be doing some CPU mining, but that will indeed give low hashrates and will not be very profitable. Some coins that are easiest to CPU mine are: Electroneum, Intensecoin.

Here you can calculate what the return will, be http://minecryptonight.net/ as profit you will not make out of it.

If you want to burn laptop - mine. If you want mine - see videos about farm/rigs, read another topics. I prefer video.

Thanks for the replies!
I'm obviously not very clued in at this stage - useful information/advice is very welcome.
I was given a 'to do' list of steps to complete - and one of them included listing devices incl my phone etc. here. 
Certainly don't like the sound of my computer burning up.

The days of mining with low powered devices is well and truly gone. Nowadays you need powerful graphics cards or dedicated mining equipment (asics) in order to make any profit and even then some would say you would be more worthwhile just buying the coins/tokens you would wish to mine.

With your iphone and mac you would mine negligible amounts not worth the effort im afraid.

You need to read the forum, actually read some of the posts and intro to mining articles.  You can quickly see if you do any reading that what you have will not work and has not been viable for a long time.  Mining requires time and the willingness to learn how to do it and troubleshoot.  You lose credibility quickly and people will be less apt to help you if it appears you put absolutely no effort into learning about it before you came here to ask questions.  Spend a few hours reading posts and looking up your questions online.  Do that a few hours a day for a few weeks.  You should then understand what you are getting into and be able to ask relevant questions.

member suggest you don't mining using your device. But if you still want to mining (Mac).alright, you can try CPU mining based. such of ETN coin.

With those devices you could try enrolling for this project https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2142232.0. I think it's one of the fewest if not the only one that can work on your equipment.

first of all study on mining. you can go through articles which can give you basic knowledge. then you will start to understand it and also understand it which devices are suitable for mining.
I phone is not for mining.mining can not be done with iphone.apple made it for other reasons not for mining.
and laptop or macbook are not for mining. mining needs time,sometimes your macbook needs to be run for 24 hours.and it causes heat that is not good for your device.

Generally not a good idea to mine with notebooks, but if that is what you want to do, then you can use this article for guidance.

That's what it means - the desire to earn)))
In fact, nothing good will come of it.

If you are interested in to see the process of mining then you can spend time on such devices. The profits from this you will not. Only a loss. My advice to you. Don't waste your time and money. Buy mining hardware on the GPU. You can start with one GPU. If you see that it's a method of income suits you, you will gradually increase the number of the GPU.

Sell your devices and buy some GPUs and other stuff to build a rig ;).

Don't waste time with laptop. Please go with ASIC mining hardware.

Mines must have a strong back Myanmar in the fields of mathematics and science, a new capability is good and strong problem solving ability. Creativity and the ability to communicate effectively is also required.

Hey my Name is Donnie im from germany.

i've just bought around 6x 1060 6b from MSI and all hardware needed to build a rig. (the current powercost is like 0,37$ /kwh ) .

i havent opened the hardware yet, because im quiet unsure about mining, would you be able to answer me a few questions and provide a little bit of help?

I dont want to make large profit in a short amount of time... i actually want to hold the coins i mined, till they rise and want to know if it is worth and even possible to do that.

i would obviously reward you!!!

Big thanks in Advance.

Greets Donnie

You cannot mine using the devices that you have. Sure you can miner with your Macbook Pro Iris but it would only generate you a small profit and you might risk your laptop for overheating from mining. If you want to mine you must have a dedicated miner / mining Rig with using either multiple set of GPUs for altcoins or ASIC miners for bitcoin.

things like this can't be in 100% correct prediction. many groups in telegram or other social media who have analysis to hold the coin which one to keep and which coin will increase the price.

for example the case of ETH coin price, no one can predict 100% correct that ETH coin price will be like now. April 2017 price 1 ETH $45.

conclusion, only you alone can decide.
