Can I mine from my pc?

And also, is it beneficial? I'm talking about scraping from transaction fees.

You can't mine BTC directly.

You can mine xmr directly and have it auto converted to BTC nicehash does that.

Thus this is an alt coin question since you mine xmr first then auto convert to btc.

It seems like you are getting really pump here in the forum @BlackHatCoiner  .

Yes, you could mine in your pc, I guess not recommended at this moment since you need something more powerful to mine a good amount and actually earning a profit. I've tried several attempts in mining altcoins and it actually works but the profit would not be worth it considering you are risking your hardware in mining and also electricity bill would also be a big factor. There were just too many miners and even companies.

If you could invest in mining hardware you might have a better chance of earning profit.

Yeap I do 

Do you have to suggest me any useful BTCTalk topic about mining from windows pc? I don't plan to make profit, I know I won't I just want to know how to mine.

These results are literally crap: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+mine+bitcoins+on+pc
You can check the like rate.

Of course you have the option to mine from your own computer. Is the supplier of your electricity probably also happy with it  
Make sure you have decent VGA.

Not really. You may mine some odd altcoin and sell it for bitcoin, but it isn't beneficial in the long run, even with free electricity, a computer would make like 1¢ in a month or such.

You may be able to mine a few more altcoins with gpus but this is rapidly becoming unprofitable, especially with the favored altcoin going PoS.

Short answer: No.

Just buy and hold, look back in a few years.

you could use nicehash which will mine alt coins and pay you in btc
https://www.nicehash.com/?refby=e1ddd131-b68f-44f6-a6db-fd92f939dfd6

you could use cudo miner which will also mine alt coins and pay you in btc
https://www.cudominer.com/?a=_oqx3vf5e - if you use my referral, we both get a bonus once you mine (I think) 5,000 sats

you could use awesome miner - its a mining rig manager but it can easily configure your gpu and cpu to mine - I think 2 devices (1 cpu and 1 gpu) would be free to use with Awesome Miner
https://www.awesomeminer.com/

you could use brave browser - it pays in BAT once per month, which you can convert to BTC
https://brave.com/download/


now as others have said, with a single gpu, this will not be profitable but if you want to learn something about mining, any of the above should be helpful to start with.

Few years ago it was a good shot to mine, but hardware VGA is also getting more expensive. And if you use a VGA so intensively, it will not last forever of course.
The power is to expensive, unless you have a country where the climate is cold.
If the bitcoin price goes above 10k, it could be profitable.
You can also keep the bitcoins and hope they will increase,maybe it is more safe for the moment.

To be honest, it isn't. If you have a regular laptop or even a gaming rig, I wouldn't suggest mining unless you measure pros/cons, make sure to wage what the cost of electricity is in you area and also how much electricity your PC consumes while at whatever load you are looking to mine in (I'd suggest go 70% of max power for the tests, going higher you risk reducing the lifespan of your rig).

I'd suggest give it a shot but be critical of the results you get.

Or you could just read the sticky at the top of this board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.0

Point 3 of which covers your questions perfectly.

3. Mining BITCOIN is done exclusively with dedicated BITCOIN mining hardware based on ASICs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit . You CAN NOT meaningfully mine bitcoin today with CPU, GPU or even FPGAs. Bitcoin difficulty adapts to match the amount of mining done on the network and has reached levels trillions of times too high to mine meaningfully with PCs, laptops, tablets, phones, webpages, javascript, GPUs, and even generalised SHA hardware. You will not find software in this section to help you mine bitcoin in this absurdly inefficient manner in this subforum. It would cost you thousands of dollars in electricity per year to earn only a few cents in bitcoin. Even if you combined all the computers in the world, including all known supercomputer, you would not even approach 0.1% of the bitcoin hashrate today. Any discussion outside of ASIC related mining, except in the interests of academia, will be moved to the altcoin mining section. There isn't any point attempting to mine bitcoin with CPU or GPU even in the interests of learning as it shares almost nothing with how bitcoin is mined with ASICs and will not teach you anything.

TL/DR Summary:
 - You CANNOT meaningfully mine bitcoin with your PC or laptop no matter how powerful it is.
 - You CANNOT meaningfully mine bitcoin with your tablet or phone no matter how powerful it is.
 - Mining apps for your phone or tablet that claim to mine bitcoin are almost certainly scams.
 - You CANNOT find software here to mine bitcoin with your PC by itself.
 - You MIGHT be able to do one of the above with altcoins, but such discussion goes into the altcoin mining section.
 - You CANNOT find or post software here to mine on other peoples' PC without their permission.

I answered him and a cpu can mine btc at moron stupid levels.  But it can do it.

Or a pc can mine xmr use nicehash and convert to btc actually turning a small profit. Of about 25 cents a day if the pc has a amd ryzen 9 3900x cpu or better.


I still think this should be in alt coins not btc.

[MoparMiningLLC]

agreed. All the options I gave him are actually mining alt's that get paid out as btc - not really mining btc

[Biffa]

Yeah, shouldn't really even mention shitcoins in this part of the forum, just point them at the sticky and move on.
