Title: Mining bitcoin on several computers.
Post by: Nandom on February 12, 2015, 03:04:55 AM
So I'm wanting to mine bitcoin on 3 pcs. I also want to manage them easily. And I'd prefer them to be silent and be able to be turned on whenever I want.

As an example, I'm talking about my parents' pc. They leave it on 24/7 and I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to run a bitcoin miner on it. I want to be able to turn the miner on whenever they are not using it. (When they're at work, at night, when they're out ... etc.)

I also have and Iphone, maybe there's something where I can be able to control the miners from it?

Also what is the best wallet to use? Prefer to have an Iphone wallet as this is the thing I always carry with me. Currently using Blockchain (Unless there's a better/safer option)

Thanks alot.

It has been many years since computers were last able to mine bitcoin on their own sorry. Normal computer hardware that you buy in a regular computer store cannot meaningfully mine bitcoin in any capacity whatsoever, they can only be used to run software the runs dedicated mining hardware (ASICs) that do the actual bitcoin mining. No you cannot earn money running even 10s of thousands of computers attempting to mine bitcoin without dedicated mining hardware.
