Bitcoin Forum

 I am completely new to this mining lesson and have not even started yet.  Is that possible to mine bitcoin with a high-end laptop or a pc?  have anyone tried it and is that profitable?

No. If you want to mine bitcoin, you need to read about ASICs which are the mining machines used for bitcoin mining since many years ago. If you mine with laptop, it will not be profitable for you because the CPU hashrate will be very small. You can research about Bitmain Antminers which can be a good start.

Read the OP of this pinned thread: BITCOIN MINING INTRO & RULES OF THIS SUBFORUM - READ BEFORE POSTING (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.msg24714338#msg24714338)

Instead of waiting for answers, you can refer to this thread : Bitcoin mining on a laptop in 2024 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5495814.0)

Still let me give you my opinion, Bitcoin mining with GPU is not possible anymore so you can choose the altcoins which is still mineable but it's like hitting a lottery you have to mine random shitcoin and expect it to have value in the future.

I won't recommend wasting your time by doing this along with that you are putting your laptop at risk of getting bricked.

You should not mine bitcoins on a laptop. Try exploring NiceHash, 2Miners and other services that were collected in a separate topic by safar1980.

You need to install the application and you will receive a reward in bitcoins for mining other profitable coins. This is the best option if you don't mind overheating your laptop.

Nope. You need a sha256 ASIC to mine BTC.

Other are mentioning Nicehash or altcoins mining, even these ideas are not the best ones imo, as laptops are often not so well cooled and will overheat quickly.

In any cases, if you don't have cheap electricity, or a good infrastructure, or the funds to buy serious ASICs, you should just find some other business to do

The laptop even if it is high-end it's not worth to mine altcoin or even if you can able to mine Bitcoin it's not worth it because you will never reach your ROI and in the worst case it would end up melting components inside your laptop. After all, as the above said it does not well cool.

I suggest if you want to mine BTC buy a ASIC unit as suggested above It is a bit expensive but if you are looking for 2nd hand unit at a cheap price contact offordscott here https://offordscott.t.me/

If you are looking for ways to get Bitcoin and you are considering mining as an option, know firstly, that it is not possible to mine with your laptop, no matter how high-end it is, and that mining is very cost-intensive, and demands you to be sure that it is what you want to do before starting. It requires equipment, requires adequate electricity, requires proper space and some other factors like the legal nature of mining in your country if you want to make your mining a success.

And like I have said before,

No, all you are going to do is ruin a good laptop and not make much of a profit. Buy an actual piece of hardware that was designed for mining. I can recommend Philipma1957 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=64507) as a reputable seller of such hardware.

 A big no. If you are just going to do mining on a PC or laptop, then don't start it because you will only waste your time and stress the equipment that could eventually give up. Remember, a PC or laptop cannot stay 24/7, and in order to maximise the profit in mining, you should have an equipment or mining rig that could stay 24/7. So if you just want to mine using a PC or laptop, don't consider it. No matter how high-end it is, if it is not built solely for mining, then it's useless. Better invest in a more powerful mining rig. It doesn't have to be many; you can start with a few rigs if you have a short budget. It is sad to say that in order for you to mine and earn from it, you will need to invest a lot of money in order to have a proper setup and, of course, expenses in terms of electricity and internet.

Starting mining on a high end laptop should not be done as it will only waste your time and put your laptop down due to its light CPU, as you do research on Bitmain Antminers which can be a good start.
