I have been looking into CPU mining of some alternative coins, none of the software that I have looked into will open on my laptop.
Just want to know some basic CPU software that works on Windows and does anyone have any opinions on which coins will jump in the future so I am not completely wasting my time?
Most of the Alt-Coins will have a miner button built into the Client software.
Bitcoin used to be like this, but they removed it after it became impossible to mine with a CPU.
