Title: 8 laptops + free elec = $? Post by: bitcoinrocks on March 01, 2014, 10:55:22 PM Roughly how much money can be made mining with 8 i5 laptops (Intel graphics) and free electricity?

http://www.reviewoutlaw.com/best-cpu-mining-software-simple-alt-coin-gui-miner/ As for GPU if everything is free go for BTC :) will give you little amounts but maybe your kids will thank you for your effort in 10 years :) Title: Re: 8 laptops + free elec = $?

Title: Re: 8 laptops + free elec = $? Post by: bitcoinrocks on March 01, 2014, 11:10:43 PM Is it worth the effort? How much would you be able to generate with very little or no time investment after setup?

It isn't as profitable as these? Depends on your GPU https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison Find your GPU here and put the hashrate here http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator you will find it useless but if you do it as a long term investment it may pay very good since there are people that say BTC can reach even 500.000$(can't find the link .... but there was someone that said it could go to that price if it's widely adopted) Title: Re: 8 laptops + free elec = $?

Title: Re: 8 laptops + free elec = $? Post by: serje on March 01, 2014, 11:41:56 PM Thanks a lot serje. No problem! Also don't forget mining supports BTC :) BTC exists because of mining! Title: Re: 8 laptops + free elec = $? Post by: muchogas on March 02, 2014, 02:45:38 AM I would definitely go for CPU mining if you want to mine. But I would sell those laptops and buy BTC instead or a miner ;)
Title: Re: 8 laptops + free elec = $? Post by: DrG on March 02, 2014, 09:29:02 AM If you don't mind killing the laptops you can mine. Laptops will usually die in a couple months if you 100% load them for hours on end. The RMA/shipping might be more than what you would make mining.
Having said that, probably not worth GPU mining but mining a CPU coin might be profitable (again at the expense of a dead fan and possibly a dead board). Title: Re: 8 laptops + free elec = $? Post by: bitcoinrocks on March 02, 2014, 01:32:16 PM I actually need these laptops to keep running. Mining isn't their primary purpose. Can I load them at 50%?
Is it safer to GPU mine instead of CPU? |
