Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

I have two laptops with good specs eating dust. I thought to set them to work as nodes or miners or something like that. See if it's worthwhile.

The specs of my best laptop are i7, 16 GB RAM, 1.xx GHz, Windows 10. The other is a 4GB RAM laptop. I think it's i5, but I don't know the exact specs from the top of my head.

I'm a newbie in staking and mining and I don't want to install Ubuntu or Linux. I'm not an IT guy.

It can be leading or non-leading coins. That doesn't matter.

Does anyone have tips and suggestions about where to start and what to mine?

Thanks in advance.

your going to waste  energy instead of getting any profit.  2c - 4c day.  not a good idea

May we know what's the GPU of your laptop? most of the coins that can be mine through CPU and GPU but most of the miners preferred to mine using GPU.

Why? According to en.bitcoin.it "A CPU core can execute 4 32-bit instructions per clock (using a 128-bit SSE instruction) or 8 via AVX (256-Bit), whereas a GPU like the Radeon HD 5970 can execute 3200 32-bit instructions per clock (using its 3200 ALUs or shaders)."

but if you will mine using CPU you're just about to waste your electricity.

It is not advisable to mine with laptop.  I have tried before but it doesn't worth it.  I could remember mine about a month and end up with around $4 worth of coins.  I have to quit because after spending some much in energy I was at loses.

That's what I feared. Thanks a lot for the advice.

ya you wont make alot, it will be speculative mining.
find a cpu only coin to get a few 1000 of them, then HODL them for a year or two, see what happens (i did that with PASC when it launched and when it hit polo it was big profit)

what i would worry more about is HEAT PRODUCED
you will need a way to keep your cpus cold, as i bet you if you run your chip @ 90 degrees , in a few months SOMETHING in the laptop will die likely haha

This ^^ is very true. Don't put your laptop and its CPU at risk of dying. Laptops are not projected to be in use all day long at maximum power. They are projected to be used a while and to shut them down at the end of the day. If you absolutely have a laptop you don't care about, you may try mining, if only for educational purposes. You won't earn much anyway.

Mining with GPU is a good idea and it also not a waste of energy since the OP never mention any coin yet and the last time I check only those popular and well used coins not fresh/new coin that can lead to wasting of energy when mine through GPU.

OP, I saw a link (https://simplemining.net/) posted by a user of this forum which was about GPU mining and you can check it maybe you'll find what you're looking for.

You should have a look at SERO, its CPU mineable privacy protocol where developers can build and issue anonymous smart contracts, anon tokens, tickets etc. , the team has achieved 20 times faster encryption against Zcash during testnet, they also have a guild mining program going on, check out them at here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5123382.0

the specifications of your computer are fairly sufficient for mining cryptocurrency, I recommend using OS Linux that is much better to use and safe than OS Windows how to mine coins is very difficult and vulnerable to viruses

Take a look over https://www.hostero.eu/cpu-mineable-coins. It contains coins that are mineable with CPU, and for some of the coins you can see profitability calculations.

With such laptops, you should only pay attention to coins that are mined exclusively on the CPU. I also experimented with laptops a couple of years ago, and quite successfully, by the way. Then I got some blocks on laptops. The coin that was mined, it seems the coin Biblepay. There was a very specific algorithm just for the CPU.

Wouldn't it be also possible to mine Monero with your CPU on a laptop? Nothing against BiblePay but Monero does look a bit more like a serious project.

I won't recommend you to mine with your laptops because it's not worth it at all. You don't need to follow other people to mining. Your laptop will get to heat, and it could be damaged. Even if you still decide to mine coins, I guess that the rewards still not too big and it's a waste of time to spend. But it's all your decision, you could still try, but I cannot suggest what the coin to mining with your laptop.

If you mine with your laptop, consider using it a capacity lower than 100% (use fewer mining threads), and make sure it doesn't get too hot.

Speculative mining would be more suitable as you are going to mine very little anyways, so it makes sense to mine newer/less established coins, in the hope their values goes up in the future. I recommend http://webdollar.io (http://webdollar.io).

Notebook performance is very outdated, mining efficiency is not very high, but doing a POS node is a good choice. Just a suggestion. :)

For Monero, it was already too late to use a laptop. I started mining BBP with almost 12 blocks, that is, the blockchain has just been launched. Reward for found block was at first very large.  Soon the coin got listed on C-CEX and the price there was about 20sat. By the way, the mining was right in the wallet and without any pools. The pool appeared there later, then the difficulty of the network grew and the meaning of mining on the laptop disappeared.

Running it as masternode would be the best choice, mining wont going to do it.
You could hunt down coins like JSEcoin and Bittube to mine aside the node.

VBK seems a cool project, but imo the distro is not for me : /
they had a testnet, then let the coins xfer over?  seems unfair to those that didnt participate
THEN an ICO on top of it @bittrex? why?
ya im good lol

Core i7 and Core i5 are good processors but mining is not wothy even with them, I have tried a gen 4 i7 and it only produced about 15 cent almost one year ago, now I think it should be even less so it is better if you sell those laptops rather than ruin them with mining.

Great tips and posts since I last checked.

I was indeed thinking of running a PoS node for a new promising coin. I didn't know there were 'CPU only' mining possiblities.

The heat however is indeed something I have not considered. My laptop is not in use but I don't want to ruin it. It's a Dell M4700 with 16GB RAM. It is quite noisy so at least the fans do their work. But perhaps it's more profitable to simply sell the laptop and invest the money somewhere. Perhaps I can do that after a two week try out.

PoS is what I "mine" these days on my laptop - currently staking Neblio, Nullex, and Stashpay. NEBL is "anchoring" my assets while I experience with Nullex (troubled development and infighting resulting in an upcoming swap) and Stash (newly released blockchain - last week)

In fact, the cooling system in good laptops is designed for long-term high load on the CPU and GPU.I remember a few years ago I started mining on laptops for several days in a row, and no laptop broke. But in any case, it is necessary to take breaks in order to clean the cooling system. For the experiment, I even overclocked a little GPU. But did it on a very old laptop, where HD 5650 was installed, raised the chip frequency from 550Mhz to 600Mhz and memory frequency from 800Mhz to 900Mhz. Although it is better in the laptops not to do it. It is necessary to monitor the temperature so that it does not exceed the specifications. In General, mining on laptops does not make much sense, it's just an experiment.

Another vote for using an *old* laptop for staking.
Staking is not taking a big toll on your hardware (apart from the SSD I suppose). Bear in mind though that in order for staking to be efficient, your laptop will need to be on 24/7. Which is why I wrote old laptop... as opposed to the one you're working with day in day out. But hey, that's all up to you.

Also bear in mind you can stake several coins simultaneously on one laptop/machine.
I'm staking BEAN, LINDA and VEIL on a small HTPC at home currently, works like a charm.

omg....people are just stupid. WTF!"!!

I agree with you that POS is the only chance to get something on an old laptop. I myself keep my old computer turned on around the clock and stacking a few coins on it.

Was actually to say the same advise on where it would be much better if he do sell off those laptops.i7 and i5 processors are still good depending on what generation it is, the newer the better rather
than for you to consider on using it up on mining.It would turn out that you would simply waste of those laptops overtime with having the possible earning of few cents on a month time.
You will surely regret if those laptops would put in fire.

With laptot don't think you can mine any coin yet or you can but not so much power to make some profit, i have tried several time and i did give up!

Laptops are mainly designed for big workload and usage, especially the business category ones. 
The maintenance of the cooling system is very important and they are too expensive for mining nowadays.

My suggestion for you is don't mine with your laptops. Your laptop maybe have i7 core but mining with CPU is worthless.

Does your laptop have VGA in it? If no, then again I suggest don't try to mine with it. Instead of profit you will loss money on it.

It is going to end up being a futile effort mining with your laptop, so many cheap mining gear now that people are using to mining small cap coins so you don't even have advantage there unless you want to stake. Mining is still rewarding now with the drop in prices of most coins but not with laptop

Sorry its better not use your laptop in mining it will only be broken and its not worth it to mine in a laptop with only small amount of tokens :)

Something both of these coins have all wallets and programs for mining with viruses. Well, sometimes virustotal reacts this way. Judging by the network hashrate, there is nothing to earn with laptops...

How exactly do you decide if mining on a laptop is still worth it for a specific coin? You are checking the total hashrate of the network? What would you say is the treshold on which mining on a laptop with the specs mentioned by the OP doesn't make sense anymore?

I don't think laptops are good for mining. Maybe you earn some money but you may end up losing your laptop.

Still, if you want to mine something, you can try relatively new coins.

Everyone defines it for himself. There are many profit calculators. I tried mining on my two old laptops which are not used either. They are already too weak for mining these coins. One is i5, the other is i3. I'm not going to use a good laptop for mining. From his laptops, it probably makes sense to use i7.

core i3 noutbuk oh my Goodness my noutbuk  is burning hot
+ after 1 week it burned down (I don't play anymore mining

You may simply find coin that is asic-resistant. And try to mine such coin at the begining of coin launch. This should be win strategy.

Yes, even i think mining with laptop not a good a idea, if you go with it no matter what, the best way is finding a new coin with asic-resistant.

On the laptop, it is unlikely that something substantial can be mined, unfortunately already too different levels of mining =\

Technically, you can mine using your laptop. Think about the option of cloud mining: due to the high costs of electricity and great expenses on the equipment these services have already gained great popularity.

Laptops don't have an efficient cooling system so that the risks of overheating and frying your units are very high and there is a big possibility that you will incur losses than having gains in using them for mining. Imho.

Powerful laptop for mining? yes it's powerful but it can't sustain the heat that mining will produce through your machine. It's not an advisable idea to mine with your laptop. If you want to mine, invest to another rig and build a machine that's dedicated for mining. Go for GPU mining but if you don't have budget for that, you can sell that laptop and start your own farm with that profit. You are lessening the life of your laptop by mining with any coin with that.

You'll just waste time and energy in mining in laptops and it's not worth it to mine in laptop, try that many times ending up breaking my laptop  :D

Mining on a laptop? Guys, this is not serious. On a maxim laptop, you can run wallets with a POS. or run masternodes. And then for these purposes it is better to use the rented VPS.

Guys, I heard that there is a mining with the processor, my laptop has 8 cores, it is suitable for this type of mining? Or payments are so meager that they are not worth the time spent?

maybe when we want to do the crossing we should use a PC only, because its performance is far more effective. after all for now one of the only coins that can give certainty when we are mining is only bitcoin (in my personal opinion) while the others are still full of question marks.

GPUs and their mobile variants differ significantly in performance. But the difference in performance between the CPUs and their mobile variants is not so significant. Therefore, the laptop can be used for mining coins. But under several conditions. The coin must have an algorithm that allows mining only on the CPU. You also have to choose for mining only those coins that have been recently launched. You also need to calculate your electricity costs. Laptop cooling system must be cleaned periodically. This cooling system does not have a "reserve" for heat removal. It is advisable to use for mining laptop that you do not use and will not regret it if it breaks.

The simple answer to that is don't mine with your laptop. If you want to get serious go buy a mining rig, or at least a few gpu's - minimum rtx 2060's. Should set you up nicely for at least the next 3 years.

don't  mining with the CPU, at least use GPU to mine coin, because the speed or hash of the CPU is very small compared to mining via GPU so mining through the CPU will not provide many benefits. My suggestion is you can sell the laptop and buy PC and GPU components to do more profit mining.

Like a few people have said, you'd be spending more on power plus damaging your laptops to get a few cents worth of coins. Not worth it.

You could try JSEcoin for some desktop cpu mining if you just wanted a bit of fun or to learn. Took me about a week to earn maybe a little over $1 worth of coin?

If you want to just get coins, sell old laptops and buy direct!

It is serious that there are people like OP asking to mine with their laptops. That's a good alternative for those wants to earn with their laptop by taking up coins on PoS.
Much better, less hassle and maintenance.

With the remaining points I agree(understand why they need it) but with this - no clue. Why choose for mining coins that have been recently launched? Tell me more.

Rather than mine with a laptop it could be put to better use by installing the SONM OS which will basically rent out your resources in exchange for sonm tokens, which is already listed in binance

I just explored SONM and it seems quite interesting to me as it's currently providing a better ROI to (Ethereum) miners. However, are you sure that you can rent your "laptop's resources" in exchange for the tokens? It doesn't look very possible to me, as according to the SONM web estimator, for my laptop's resources, I'll only get:

https://i.imgur.com/dLOV3db.png

However, including a nice GPU to the estimator multiplies the rewards, while including a good CPU doesn't do any good. Overall, it looks good only for GPU miners, not for laptops or computer systems without any nice GPU.

Because at the beginning of the miners are still few, so the hash rate and the difficulty is less.
When more people learn about the coin, it will become unprofitable for mining on laptops.

Why not ditch the idea of mining on a laptop and rather either buy a used mining rig or altogether buy new gpu's and setup a brand new mining rig of your own.

I don't want to say that you have just wasted money buying the second laptop as it won't be effective and give you the desired results.
What you could have done was going for a mining rig .
Mining rig is more effective in mining.

Selling the laptops and then holding coins after buying them or a few GPUs/ASICs like other have mentioned here would likely be much more profitable than simply mining on the laptops you have right now. Shouldn't be too much of an issue selling them if they've got the specs you mentioned and you aren't using them. Laptops just aren't designed to dissipate the heat mining produces and they also don't mine terribly fast.

Today, it is useless to mine using your laptop. Yes, you can do it several years ago. Now new powerful hardware is used for it. However, ASICs prices are very high, and the expenses for them are not always covered.

There may be a situation that the new coin will sink into oblivion. Then all my mining will be useless.

Mining with laptops is not the best of ideas as you would not be generating anything substantial. Remember you have mining farms all over the world to compete with and all you got is a laptop. Don't waste your time brother you better get into staking some coins or run  a masternode because with those all that matters is to get the required collateral coins needed to run a masternode. o

If you do have enough funds its far better to buy masternode coins and take a risk, than trying to mine inside your laptops where every profits if there's profits will be going alone paying your electricity bills, and also laptop is not designed to do heavy works where you will let it mine for some weeks surely it will give up in mush earlier time.

For mining cryptocurrencies i would not advise you to do so but if you are into running nodes on any network then you can go right ahead as you would not be competing to earn your passive income from the running masternode. mining with laptops would surely earn you close to nothing hehehe

Your old laptop would be much more useful helping the network of your preferred coin by running a node of it (with its P2P port opened). Mining anything with it just wouldn't bring any benefit.

You can also buy a coin that will sink into oblivion. You can buy ICO tokens that will lose the price to zero. Crypto is risky. Mining coins without risk requires an ASIC or GPU, but not a laptop.

From my experience, even gaming laptops are very much inferior to stationary solutions of past generations.
And yes all because laptops going in thin case and it is very difficult to make normal ventilation for a powerful configuration.

mining with cpu is useless. you should buy stakable coins and make money by running node, aura for example requires 10k to stake and can earn like 5+ usd, over long term price of aura will appreciate so will your earnings.

Soon it will be ready the pool of stake platform where you can stake your coin without have to pay elettricity , it will be the best.

Whatever kind of your laptop and mine through use personal computor or even laptop is not a recomended way. Remember there was a lot of problems in the gaming laptops and mine crypto can make that laptop gets burned in the future.
Remember mining is not about how can you get aily income.

The question was different, so let's not exaggerate. When buying coins, I am guided by other priorities. As for mining - here I am a layman and wanted to hear the advice of knowledgeable people. Thank you that prompted and gave the direction where to move on.

Why do you want to waste your laptop hardware in mining cryptocurrency? You will just end up destroying your laptop hardware. If you are serious of joining the mining ecosystem, its advisable to build a pc specifically for mining and stop thinking of using your laptop.

If you're not using them, sell them instead of spending more electricity from mining. It may also end up dead after a few months of mining anyway. Use the proceeds from selling to buy some good coins then trade if you wish.

In addition to the spec of your laptop's and the amount you will spend in energy, you will only end up in loss. Discard the idea of mining with  laptop and go for an efficient mining rig it will pay off.

As per my knowledge and investigating now a days mining through CPU is just wasting your time and electricity and you will never get the profit, i will suggest smartphone mining please do search for it as it is very cheap and no complications or issues during mining.

I do not know any coins for mining on phones, which would really give a profit. If you mean Electronium, it's not real mining, even their website says. Can be could you tell me what this coins?

For those interested in mining, there are good coins out there that you can mine though this depneds a lot on the configuration of your PC and the source of energy. For me I'll go with Veil as it's a good token and project with different means of earning. You can give it a trial and see how it goes. It works with most of the mining softwares, pools and explorers. Phone mining does not work with this project. I don't trust phone mining as you only get peanuts.

 :o Leave your laptop alone. Why kill your laptop, it is not profitable. When mineengi allocated a large temperature that will destroy all the inside of your laptop. Even farms do not withstand the load, and you want to mine on a laptop.

Mining with laptops was way back in in 2009 when the cryptocurrencies was first introduced into the world and there were not many enough miners. At this point in time mining with a laptop would not earn you anything and you would rather incur loss due to the constant use of electricity.

I would encourage you to run nodes or better still join a mining pool but becareful you don't get scammed because there are a number of mining pool that do not payout as promised.

You can, but you will not get big profits.
Use pools in not very popular coins you can recoup your equipment. But again, I'd rather have bought something stationary that was made specifically for this.

And buy coin directly is much better rather than burning our laptops for nothing. I can say that it will not give any profit and that will destroy his laptop and it will decrease the performance of laptop itself.
Mine through any laptop or notebook is worthless

It if to be engaged in a mining by means of the video card. As for mining with the processor, it is not so hot (correct me if I'm wrong).

Generally you should only mine with Laptops with an external GPU.
There are some on the market. I.e. Alienware has the option to connect an external GPU.

still more stable to connect external GPUs to desktop computers than laptops, isn't it?
or it would make no big difference?

CPU temperature is near the limit, but does not exceed the limit. This is when all cores are fully loaded. And on a laptop, mining on the GPU is useless. GPU installed in laptops are much weaker than conventional GPU. But the CPU in laptops can be used for mining. Therefore, it is necessary to choose coins that can be mined only on the CPU.

even if the laptop or notebook have a good spec, it's better not to do it. because its durability is lower than a computer, even though it imposes a time limit for mining, it will waste of time. Trading is much better even with small capital.

High specked laptops are expensive, at least the new once are. Profits mining on a laptop would be slim at best and you risk damaging your expensive laptops. I say it's not worth the risk.

Personally I wouldn't suggest using your laptop as it's a waste of energy and you will end up with little or nothing at the end of the month. But come to think of it does Mining really pays at its use to before

I think best mining option is to use mining rigs to mine, any other form of mining is almost next to nothing, except there are actually less difficult coins to mine with your pc which can be profitable and worth your time, otherwise better to join a good pool as advice above or engage in trading if you are good in trading, if neither of this, then buy and hodl what suits you.

The only best case scenario I can think of mining with a laptop for a short period of time, is a completely new coin that will moon later on and become very populare. Then maybe it will be worth your while.

Minning Btc or etherum with laptop can be stressful with just a little profit. I will advice you go into minning of altcoin with great potential.  Altcoin like Uplexa and electromurm are good token which is advisable for you to mine and make good profit.

Exactly we need a good specification laptop or computer for mining. I personlly using OS Linux and the performance of this device is really good for mining.   

Yes what mining with a laptop ?? If you do mining for fun to understand how it works - you can try. But if you want to make a living out of it, you need to worry about powerful equipment...although now in my opinion - not the best time for mining.

it's better to mine using a GPU than a laptop CPU. mining using a laptop won't benefit because mining with a laptop CPU produces only a few coins, to get more coins it takes a very long time and will consume a lot of electricity.

It will not be the best answer, remember it just give you little penny that is not worth with your laptop. mine a new coin just like betting if do that coin have bright future or not and it looks very similar as gambling and when it worth nothing and you will be lost

Mining difficulty will just eat your laptops capabilities, the competitions is too tough now with those mining farms and Asics devices, best to sell your laptops and buy rigs instead it will add chances to mine decent amount of coins and will serve it purpose, laptops won't bring anything just a dust amount which is not enough to covered your electricity bills.

Laptops have it's own purposes better to use it accordingly.

If you want to try your laptop as a experience in mining i think verus coin is a good coin to mine if you will use CPU for mining ;)

You understood me correctly, I was talking about mining using the processor. Although now there are external graphics card, saw this one friend, he it especially for games bought (says that at work he need a laptop, and with help of this device you can play at home if desired)

At this time, Laptop cannot give profit from Mining or staking coins. You should use your Laptop to find another way, or to learn from experience!

Even you have good specs of your laptops still better to mine using gpu don't risk your laptops to it as your laptop will only end to not functioning well and will never use it again.

This was my thought also, and op mentioned staking as well although I rarely visit this section and don't know if discussion of staking is allowed here.  I've just recently gotten very interested in proof of stake coins and while running a masternode would be great, I don't think I could afford enough of any coin to do it.

After watching dozens of youtube vids about solo mining, I've come to the conclusion that what op is proposing would be a complete waste of time and electricity, and he would probably damage his computer in the process.  Betting on any given altcoin to moon is like buying a lottery ticket, which is usually reserved for those to whom basic mathematics does not come easily.

But even then, the payouts are incredibly small from pools from what I've seen and you would earn nothing by solo mining.  Plus you would still be gambling on the mined coin not dropping in value significantly, which it could very well do.

Totally agree with you. The only way out when you have only a laptop for mining is to constantly monitor the release of new coins and try to mine as much as possible at the start, when the coin is not popular and is not worth anything yet.

I agree that the only thing you can earn on a laptop or home computer is on new little-known coins. And then the computer or laptop should be powerful enough. Although I think that this is a meaningless idea. Mining should be done on special equipment, not on home computers.

If you are really aiming to proceed using your laptop for mining, this options is the best taking the risk hoping that this new coins is like a gem that will
bring you success when things went according to how the dev projects the coins, mining while there's only few miners who's taking also some chances
to that specific coins, cross finger and hope for the best results.

I'm not talking about millions of profits, mining on a laptop can give initial capital for further development. Buy a videocard with income, then one more, then more ... and so grow into a big owner of mining farms)

Many now well-known coins started with mining at the CPU, for example, Monero, DarkCoin (now DASH), Quark and others. Of the latter, a good profit was given Verium, Raven.

Minning bitcoin can be slow and time consuming with little profit.  So i will advice that you look into minning altcoin that are undervalued, where you can mine large quantity with less stress

You can try mining BANANO https://bananominer.com/ this is a fork of NANO or MRAI and it's already in the market
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/banano you can mine using FOLDING AT HOME where you canEarn BANANO by contributing to medical research.

If Nano reaches $32 I don't see any reason why this coin will not reach all-time high, so mine while it is cheap.

I think mining with laptops isn't advisable since it would mine too slow and might consume more than what you could earn. You might just waste your time and energy because it will take time for you to earn through that. However, if you're eager to mine, you could look for minable altcoins but I'm sure that they are non-valued coins so I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Not really worth it to be honest. Maybe if another HDD mining coin comes, then maybe but its really not worth burning the laptop as you will not gain anything from it. If the laptops are lying around you might make more money by just selling them lol

But OP was asking what he could mine with the laptops he already has (and isn't using). If he has to spend money to buy GPUs to mine, this whole discussion here makes no sense.

You are right. It's a non worthy fruitless venture . It actually fried a friends laptop while mining Monero and co. He is saving up to set up a mining rig which will be installed before quarter three of 2019.

The only way you can use laptops is for a staking. So i suggest to pay  attention on PoS coins. It doesn't require a heavy  loading for processor,  the consumption of energy also is relatively low, just like for a regular laptop's work.  But PoS requires a certain amount of coins on your wallet, so you should be ready to buy them.
As for me, i prefer new, non-leading coins. Usually there are more stakes in the beginning, and also new coins have more chance to a price growing.  For example, you may take a look on Veil or MB8. Or, browse this forum for other PoS  coins, there are a lot of them.

I suggest you to build rig if you want to mine, laptop isn't good to mine and it can harm your laptop.
From what I know build rig isn't cheap, but if you really want to start mine it's worth to try if you have the money

if you want to mine something on your CPU then it's better for you to look for new coins for mining. New coins are good for the CPU. The characteristics of your GPU I have not seen. Another option is this POS mining.For this you need to simply install wallet coins and this wallet will bring a large amount of coins that you are going to mining.Your laptops must always be included.

The best way to make money on mining on a laptop is to sell a laptop, buy a mining farm :)
either just buy tokens on exchange

I really don't think mining with laptop is economical besides it will end up damaging the CPU of the laptop. I understand electroneum was been mined by phones, but at the long run, it wasn't economical.

I highly recommend mining coins that are already in the market and easy to mine, yes you can mine these coins using your browser or through folding@home .

These two coins are https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/banano and https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/jsecoin/

You can mine even if you have a lower spec because they are browser base

If I had notebook like yours I would draw attention to Veil,  namely, the possibility of POS minting. As for today with 13K coins in the wallet you could get as many as 50 coins per day (~ $20), the  passive income which is not bad as for me.

Not a worthy thing to spend on even if this is just a browser mining but wont really be worth for it to run on background. I tested it out and give out 7000-8000 BAN per day @$0.00193676
Checked on that Coingecko current price which is roughly $13 but well this amount wont really be that big but for those people who do like to earn some pennies then this suggestion
would be a considerable thing but take note that this uses up 60-70% of your cpu power.

Yeah sure, if you want miniscule profits you can mine the coins that are already in the market and that are easy to mine. If you want possible better and/or more riskier profits I suggest to start to mine the newest coins.

You mean ~$13 a day? So for mining on the processor is a lot. As the all of this suspicious profitable. I checked, but did not see where there to see how many coins I have and how to withdraw them. I do not like when the browser is embedded some miner...

I'm not considering the price now, but it's potential in the future, I have a similar experience with MRAi and this is the new Mrai that I'm hoping to give me huge profit in the future, I'm trying to mine as many Bananos I can, and this is for the future.

Frankly speaking, You should not mine with Laptops. Your device will loose its age very rapidly. Also, You will really crappy hash speeds untill you have at least a 1060 or above, I would recommend to not utilizing workstation for mining regardless of whether you have the best config accessible since the impacts and the heap it will put on your PC would affect it definitely

I think Laptops are not one good tool for mining coins, even though they have very good specifications, it is not a good idea to do mining with these laptops, it is better to use a PC that already has certain specifications for mining
