I have a Macbook Air and I think Bytecoin is a nice alternative.

It nets a couple cents every day at least.

How much does Bitcoin make a day? If you have advanced mining hardware, how much would you make in 24 hours?

So is bytecoin a type of altcoin?

If you do not care about the ROI then you could buy Bitcoin directly. I do not know where you come from or how much money you have, but when you could buy a MacBook Air then I would assume that you can afford to buy some small amounts of Bitcoin directly  Wink

Ok, good to know, so could there be any alternatives? I've heard about cloud mining, but I'm not entirely sure how that works.

If your just wanting to learn mining look at compacs from sidehack, also RPI to run it vs a laptop is smarter on saving electricity.  I would look twords this is your just wanting to learn mining.

It will not ROI though it's more for  fun.   If your looking at ROI it's a another story and we need to know a lot about your electricity.

I just kinda wanna have Bitcoin, I don't really care that much about ROI

My mom actually bought my MacBook Air for me a few years ago, and it was really for education purposes and stuff like that. She's super strict. I never get money of my own because I'm only 14 and I come from a single parent family with 2 kids (me included) so we don't make as much income  Cry. The MacBook Air was kinda a one time thing.
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Can you convert altcoins to bitcoin? on: May 10, 2016, 04:41:02 PM
I'm new to Bitcoin mining so I just wanted to know if you could convert altcoins to bitcoins, and maybe a few starting mining options? I assume that a lot of altcoins make a few bitcoins.

6  Bitcoin / Pools / Is elgius a good mining pool to join? on: May 10, 2016, 03:58:22 PM
I want to join a mining pool and Elgius seemed like a good choice. I don't have very good mining hardware, I mine from a PC, but I heard that mining pools are the way to go if you don't have special mining equipment. I'm a beginner and want to know if Elgius is a good starter pool. I've read a few reviews about it.

So I did a little research to find out if I could use my MacBook Air laptop for Bitcoin mining, and the only thing I found was that the 2013 version has a pretty good GPU, I guess an Intel quad core GT3, and I didn't really get any farther than that in terms of figuring out mining efficiency and whatnot, because I couldn't find any specs on the wiki where other GPUs were.
This is where I found the chart on the wiki:
