Hi,
I'm having a free electricity + laptop which can be replaced if it get's burned for free.
My  question is is it still profitable to mine with it using given above circumstances ?
IT's Intel i5 laptop , without gpu, so only cpu mining is relevant.

On my home pc I'm getting ~200 H/s with i7 CPU
On laptop it gets to ~50 H/s with i5 CPU (Tried FCN and XMR mining).

Let me know in comments below if mining in this scenario still unprofitable.

You will get more if you sell the laptop and get a used miner (since electricity is FREE)

Free electricity negates the only advantage of mining with a laptop, low power consumption.

Yet another useless thread. Read the gazillion already posted on the forums instead of posting creating a new one.
