Title: Altcoin Mining
Post by: lucymary on February 08, 2018, 05:52:47 AM
Hi, maybe this is a stupid question, but still I'll try to ask.

Is there still an Altcoin that can be mined in a portable unit - like for example a laptop or desktop or any smaller unit. The idea is, I'll bring it to work Mondays - let it mine for 5 days- and I'll bring it back home on Fridays - to rest the unit for the weekend. So basically, electricity would be free.. Or maybe that is not possible?

Thank you

Yes, you can do it. when you bring a laptop/desktop on Monday then has Mining a coin and your Wallet shown the profit (.00000001) per 5 days and then check your a laptop. what happens to your laptop /desktop (please write in this section forum).

come on dude,
you can search the OP on this forum, the most member doesn't suggest mining using especially a Laptop. process mining generates heat and also a laptop/desktop has a very small Hashrate when compared to GPUs. yes, I know you have free electricity bill and internet if in the office but what you get from mining does not match what will happen with your laptop/desktop. Especially,your laptop will be damaged.

Forget about the laptop for mining, the most probable is your desktop, however I wonder what you look like bringing desktop in and out of your office every week :D

you might end up being so weird and suspicious, Lol much better to leave it in your office and shut it down every weekends, btw, put some GPU's into your desktop to maximize your mining. ;D

The altcoin regular are involved in the mining process.A good understanding the difference a term reffered to any cryptocurrency.when trying to mine altcoins as you have to take the account the difficulty and price of multiple canditates.Altcoin mining we mean a way mining where you constantly switch the coin you are mining on a daily or weekly basis,unlike bitcoin mining where you would continuously mine the same cryptocurrency.

you can do that for like 10 years and in 10 years you will earn about... hmmm 20 dollar maybe if you are lucky... so i think its a bad idea
consider that 6x 1060 now they do 10 usd day so your laptop or whatever thing with not 6 gpu will be not worth it
