Title: mining speeds Post by: bad1990 on December 31, 2013, 04:04:23 PM I am running a(lappy) Gateway ID79C Intel Core i7-720QM Processor with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1GB VRAM
what speeds should i be able to hit with my lappy Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: Kenshin on December 31, 2013, 04:05:29 PM This will depends on what you are mining, and what mining software you are using. Also what OS are you using.
Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: bad1990 on December 31, 2013, 04:36:09 PM Windows 7, 64bit, guiminer-scrypt and i am minning the middlecoin pools

probably expect 30-40kh/s....maybe Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: JanCarlo on January 01, 2014, 05:30:32 AM I really don't recommend mining on your laptop.
I know you probably don't want to hear that, but it will most likely affect your computer negatively. I believe there is a wiki that shows you what speeds you should be getting. Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: Kenshin on January 01, 2014, 05:59:54 AM I do cpu mining and usb mining on my laptop. There is nothing wrong with it. But then GPU mining I don't do on my laptop.
Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: cryptoprime on January 01, 2014, 06:16:24 AM Approx 37-42kH/s on Scrypt hashing. Mine your very own Doge, CAT, MEOW and LOT :D

"your laptop will melt sooner or later dude, it's not worth it" extended heat will degrade stuff. i saw a post elsewhere mentioning that they'd replaced the factory cooling paste (which isnt a paste apparently) with something better - although that might have been the CPU :/ i cant remember now.. you could possibly open up the bottom a bit (depending on laptop) and get an oversized fan/cooling pad. Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: Stormbringer on January 01, 2014, 11:29:44 AM Hi, I think it is a waste of time, you will mine very little comparing with the value of your laptop.
Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: Kezzars on January 01, 2014, 12:18:33 PM It's completely uneconomic, even if you have free electricity.
Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: Vanimo on January 01, 2014, 12:23:42 PM I believe some crypt currencies are viable without ASICs, but the return is just very low.
There's also a website called CoinWarz that has a list of profitability for each coin. And the short answer is probably: your speed will be whatever speed you manage to get out of it by tweaking your miner's options. Try looking up what options other people use for similar hardware, and start experimenting? Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: syncon on January 01, 2014, 12:38:45 PM I mined on my laptop just to figure out what mining and pools were about, and I can tell you, it's not worth it. Even if you need to buy a used system and slap in a decent card, it's better than killing your laptop for a few pennies worth of crypto.
Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: cerleo on January 01, 2014, 12:47:29 PM It's quite a difficult situation and hard to choose what to do as mining depends on a lot of factors.
Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: chadgroover on January 01, 2014, 12:54:22 PM I wouldn't touch GPU mining on a laptop - you really need a PC with decent airflow for that... Too much heat in such a confined space is never a good thing when it comes to computers!
Title: Re: mining speeds Post by: cerleo on January 01, 2014, 12:55:49 PM Yes,it could lead to a wide range of problems.You have to keep that in mind before you start mining.
