Title: Mining on few MacBooks Post by: Luckerko973 on January 05, 2021, 03:27:48 PM Greetings,
Could you recommend me software(not so difficult to use) to mine wider list of cryptocurencies for macbooks with big sur(11.1.). I do understand macs are not ideal to this, but I own 6 of em, and i neet find some use for them(out of sale of course). Thank you.

This is the "best" way you can get some with those macbooks Yes true :D Title: Re: Mining on few MacBooks Post by: Spyan on January 06, 2021, 07:45:15 PM Unfortunately the GPUs in most MacBooks aren't powerful enough to mine. Sell your extra Macbooks and buy a GPU for a PC.
Title: Re: Mining on few MacBooks Post by: HagssFIN on January 06, 2021, 08:29:23 PM Even with a powerful gpu it is still not viable to mine bitcoin.
Bitcoin today is only mined with sha-256 asic gear. Mining with your gpu in Nicehash or mining altcoins and then trading it to btc IS NOT bitcoin mining!! Using your time playing with some laptops for mining is no use, use your time more wisely!

Title: Re: Mining on few MacBooks Post by: Eco_111 on January 07, 2021, 08:23:28 AM You can't mine bitcoin with macbook, was possible in 2010 but not in 2021 atleast, even the GPUs in macbook are low end gpu, what I'm interested in is the CPU of these macbook, are they Xeon CPU or what? That might be efficient enough for XMR and YescriptR16
Title: Re: Mining on few MacBooks Post by: miner29 on January 07, 2021, 02:39:01 PM The heat from cpu mining will be a major problem for the macbook. Portable package means more thermal constraints. Notebook mining is one step above mobile phone mining...both are terrible ideas.

Title: Re: Mining on few MacBooks Post by: adaseb on January 08, 2021, 12:01:32 AM You can tell when bitcoin is going crazy when we got people here who want to see how its possible to mine bitcoins with their macbooks. I remember we kept getting a thread like this or two every few days back in late 2017 and early 2018 in the mining section. So it seems the top might be near for BTC.
Either way. You can't mine BTC or anything with your macbook. Even if you had a Mac you couldn't mine anything unless you put in a GPU inside it. However Macs can have max like 2 GPUs at once and basically are a horrible solution for mining. Just buy a PC and add 2 GPUs and see if mining is something you want to do. It might not be for you. If it is then there are tons of resources on here and youtube how you can build a 6 GPU rig. Title: Re: Mining on few MacBooks Post by: Spyan on January 08, 2021, 12:06:51 AM Nowhere did the OP say he wanted to mine Bitcoin specifically. He was asking for software that could mine a variety of cryptocurrencies. But just in case, we have now established that you can't mine Bitcoin on a Macbook.
Title: Re: Mining on few MacBooks Post by: FinneysTrueVision on January 08, 2021, 12:11:52 AM Used Macbooks can still be sold for a good price. I think this is a better option than trying to mine altcoins. They do make software like HoneyMiner which can run on MacOS but you will only earn a few cents each month. The hardware is just not powerful enough to make a decent income from this.
